Hi there, I'm an ex-South African single, newly-retired school teacher who has been living and teaching in Auckland, New Zealand for the past twenty years. I now have time to pursue some of my other passions such as watercolour painting, reading, writing, a bit of travelling, making new friends from all over the world and learning new languages. I know we probably won't have identical interests, but look forward to communicating with someone who has at least some of the same interests listed below.
