To connect across cultures and share stories.

I worked as a clinical research coordinator at the University of Minnesota, with 30+ years in the medical language field. Husband worked as an accountant 40+ years.

My husband and I will be on a slow-travel journey using our 2-month Eurail pass through Europe, including a swim with SwimTrek midway in Malta.

We love to travel as much as possible. We are interested in hosting people when we get back to our home in The Villages, Florida, mid-November. We like to spend our summers in our tiny apartment on Lake Harriet in Minneapolis.

We cannot host in Minnesota but we do have a bike, helmet and lock for someone who would like to explore the chain of lakes (just message me) - we are across the street from Lake Harriet.

Although my account says member since 2009, 2025 is the first year I have become active.
