About Me
Very easy going, friendly, enjoy & appreciate each day, week, month! Blessed to have many long-time friendships as well as continually meet new friends. I have a wide variety of interests & activities I enjoy, all of which comprise to make life interesting & exciting. Pretty much throughout my life I have been fortunate to travel regularly, including locally, throughout the United States and globally. All my local trips are fun, BUT the international trips are truly amazing from many perspectives, foremost are the wonderful people I meet! I embrace a quote from the great poet Ralph Waldo Emerson, "In my walks, every man I meet is my superior in some way, and in that I learn from."
