My husband Steve and I are adventuresome, active, travel loving retired couple. We are always excited to explore different countries and cultures and especially love to build relationships with the people we meet on our ventures. Steve is retired professor, ....and now takes classes at Smith College. I am a semi-retired psychotherapist in private practice and an artist with a studio that I go to when not seeing clients. We love traveling, art, dance, theatre, music, architecture, gardening, cooking, reading, movies, biking, hiking, walking, kayaking, paddle boarding, swimming, gardening, and yoga.
