Hey there, I am a completely benign and normal woman looking to meet and learn all about folks in other countries. In a perfect world I would find an intelligent companion here from anywhere in the world to expand horizons with, share humor and curiosity and maybe talk to during the infrequent hard times. Married for 25 years to a dear fellow, but now my two sons are leaving for college and I find myself a bit lonely. I plan on doing a lot of traveling in the next ten years and if I found someone to have coffee with in a different country that would be super. I'm happy, calm, stable and sane, just curious about this fabulous world we all share.

Women or men who would like to exchange ideas and friendship at those odd times of the day when no one else is around to chat with. I'm traveling to Honduras and South Africa soon and would love to know more about those places. No needy people of any kind please.

SCUBA, horseback riding, wildlife, the environment,​ reading (lots of reading!) conservation​ and the ocean. Pets of all kinds.

Jimmy Buffet, James Taylor, Carribean tunes, Springsteen,​ Paolo Nutini, anything happy and upbeat. Lyle Lovett

Forrest Gump, the Black Stallion, Harold and Maude, Saving Grace, and the Dead Like Me TV series.

I don't watch broadcast TV, sometimes I watch DVDs of a show recommended by a friend. The nights are long in the winter in Oregon.

Prince of Tides, The Kushiel series, old australian mysteries by Arthur Upfield.  Steinbeck, Theroux and Bill Bryson.

A cheerful heart is good medicine.
