Hello there, I am a quiet person, a vegan and a keen birdwatcher. After working as a teacher for most of my adult life, I am now taking a break and enjoying life. I have one grown-up child and one young cat who popped up and adopted us, right after our nearly 20-year-old cat died. I used to travel a lot, visited various countries and lived in different places. I am on this site to meet new friends and re-discover the world, now from the comfort of my armchair. Please note that I am happily single and only interested in friendship - men with hidden agendas, don't waste my time and yours.
