Hello world - Just looking around here at the moment , hoping to  meet(snail mail anyone?) some new  people. I have seen and done a lot and would like to share experiences. I have many interests ,mainly focused around Art,literature and music, but am happy to talk about  anything  - everyone has something interesting to say. I am a fairly straightforward  person but I like deep conversations.
   I enjoy letter writing ,can still do proper hand written ones..
INFP_T  "the mediator"  if you believe in those tests.
Never find it easy filling these things out,much better to  have a proper conversation  . I think  am a good listener as well as writer. Am planning to do some travelling soon and want to improve language skills as well,esp Russian , Turkish,. I am very happy to help with English at any level.

If you want to write please give me something to respond to ,not just one or two words.. thanks.

Hoping to travel in Central Asia some time .....

Reading ,conversation ,art shows. walking ,mountain  biking,driving(fast) ,volunteering

If you can meet with triumph and disaster and treat those two impostors just the same..  Kipling.

Don't just do something,stand there.   Barack Obama(or was it Reagan?).

How small of all that human hearts endure,
That part which laws or kings can cause or cure.
