Duffels and Dogs

Duffels & Dogs is about living well, staying relevant, and keeping options as we age.

We’re Jeanne and James. We moved abroad in our early 60s, first to Costa Rica and now to Spain. Along the way, our focus shifted from how to move to something deeper and more practical: how to sustain autonomy, purpose, and financial agency later in life.

This channel is for people 50/55+ who want to:

✅ Live globally or more flexibly
✅ Continue earning without starting over
✅ Adapt existing skills into realistic, project-based online work
✅ Avoid shrinking choices as they age

We share our real-life experience — what worked, what changed, and what we had to rethink, along with the practical frameworks Jeanne now uses to help others do the same.

This isn’t about hype, hustle, or escape fantasies.
It’s about dignity, agency, and building a life that holds up over time.

If you want fewer illusions and better options, you’re in the right place. ✌🏻🐾🐾
