I am a retired teacher of English, history and psychology. I love to travel and have visited 60 countries and taught English in Asia. I love the outdoors year round-hiking, camping, skiing, kayaking. I work doing painting and carpentry part time. I am friendly and outgoing and enjoy people of all ages. I read quite a bit in a variety of areas. I enjoy many types of music-from world music to jazz and pop. I enjoy volunteering and helping people in my country and in other places. I try to stay current with local and world news.
