When Jo-Anne Bowen looked for a home in the Pacific Northwest, her wish list included an affordable single-story home in a nice community within a short distance of an international airport, as she loves to Travel. She landed in the beautiful small city of Vancouver, Washington and her home is only eight miles from Portland International Airport. Jo-Anne’s motto, “spend as little as possible on the necessities so you have as much as possible for the luxuries” has served her well. Learn more about Jo-Anne’s life in the Evergreen State on Episode 173 of Retire There with Gil & Gene.

For more information on living in Vancouver, see Jo-Anne’s 2021 Travel Awaits article, 14 Reasons I Decided To Retire In Vancouver, Washington, and check out Jo-Anne’e other Pacific Northwest articles in Travel Awaits.
