I am retired and live near the sea. I love nature, weather, plants, animals. I enjoy armchair travel to new places and when I do travel I like to walk around and feel the vibe. I am an amateur photographer with my smart phone, seeing a snap in a moment, capturing it if I can. I enjoy architecture and visiting galleries and museums. I love a daily coffee out somewhere. My family and grandchildren live some distance away and we gather a few times a year. More importantly, I would like to write to someone who has different experiences and views of life.
