I'm curious about the world around me, and through writing letters I'd like to find new friends from around the world. In my youth I used to do pen-paling and enjoyed very much the correspondance and ensuing friendships. Now I find that I really miss this hobby. I'm a linguist and archaeologist by profession but have retired early. I have a partner, no children. Nature and animals are very important to me, as are my family and friends. I'm a creative person who loves to make things out of various materials. Other interests are photography, books, cooking, yoga, music, travel and gardening.
