About Me
I have 3 daughters,all in their 20's. It's time for me! I love traveling. I went to Europe 4 yrs ago in the summer. I fell in love w/Europe- the culture &way of life is so me! I'm an art teacher. I love all things art&food. Explorer! I want to retire in Europe. I went backpacking 6wks summer 2014 thru Portugal, Spain, S.France,& hiked in Cinque Terre, Italy for a wk! I had such a good time this summer in Europe. I finally did it! Retired early....and now I'm finding my way thru Europe& Morocco!!
