From Empty Nest
to Endless Adventures
Hey there! We’re Shayne and Shelly Peterson – two empty nesters who sold everything to live our travel dreams full-time. From leaving our four daughters and seven grandkids behind to hopping from one incredible destination to another, we’re proof that adventure has no age limit!
Jet Set Petersons is all about exploring the world without breaking the bank, and we’re here to share our travel hacks, favorite finds, and plenty of stories along the way. Whether we’re riding scooters through Bali, discovering hidden gems, or just figuring out what day it is, we’re loving every minute and hope to inspire you to do the same!
So, follow along as we chase sunsets, cross off bucket list items, and help you do the same – all on a budget that works for you.
