I am a down-to-earth guy, a family man, dog lover, who likes to spend time with friends and family. I love to hike, jog, ski and practice whatever sports my old back agrees to. I play guitar and music is ever present in my life, so is reading. I think I am a sociable introvert, if that is a thing. I've had pen pals since the 80s, I still have some friends from that time. And here I am, trying to find some new friends abroad.
