Description
I am a retired environmental professional looking for adventure in different lands. I love meeting new people and experiencing new cultures. I have three children, all located in the US and one grandpup, grandkitty, and two grandparrots. I have traveled a good deal and now have a one-year VISA to France. I desire to learn the French language while experiencing the lifestyle and traveling throughout Europe. I have an extensive garden in the US and would love to help establish or maintain gardens abroad. I primarily wish to spend my time outdoors, biking and hiking, and then sharing food and wine with locals.
