I am friendly, but not very outgoing. I do value good lasting friendships: I am still friend with high school friends from my days at the Liceo (in Vicenza, Italy.) I do travel a lot and for extended periods. I work online, so I have flexibility. I live near the ocean and in tropical weather, because I love spending time at the beach and in the water. My favorite things are lighthouses, classic boats and cars, flamingos and hot air balloons. I enjoy writing, journaling, painting, cooking and going for long walks. I have a dog and a cat, both rescue, an amazing husband and 4 grown children
