In His Own Words
About him
I lived and worked in San Francisco for 12 years, until I retired in 2021 and relocated back to where I had lived before, and close to my daughters and granddaughters. However, that does not mean that I am not flexible as to location going forward.
In particular in California and Hawaii I came to enjoy a lot of hiking in the mountains. I keep this up, though gentler nowadays, and with gym classes to keep me fit in between, especially during English winters. Last year New Zealand North to South, and Madeira. Transylvannia had to be cancelled owing to a problem knee. This year SriLanka and in October Madagascar. February is all to be arranged.
So, I am not ready to slow down yet.
It would be great to meet someone adventurous and fit possibly for hiking. Hopefully I can share some of your prime activities.

Look at my A to Z above. A good sharing of issues would be a great start. Chemistry is the key.
Sadly I am not a great dancer or cook, but happy to try.
