Deborah Wirsu
Traveller | Author | Musician | Artist
I’ve spent a lifetime making music in orchestra pits, teaching, and pushing boundaries in textile art. But I’m not about to let retirement stop me from exploring the world — and you shouldn’t either.
I’m Deborah. If you recognise my name, it’s likely from my years playing the viola in opera and ballet orchestras, or from my bestselling textile art books.
For me, retirement wasn’t a cue to slow down; it was my invitation to pack my bag.
I don’t live out of a suitcase permanently. Instead, I plan, save, and head out independently once or twice a year.
I write for women 60+ who want real, no-nonsense strategies for solo travel. Whether you’re living on a modest pension or just appreciate the freedom of a budget-smart, self-made itinerary, I’m here to show you how to face your fears and get moving.
