KAISELIN54, 59
I retired 4 1/2 years ago and am temporarily residing in Wisconsin. I moved here last September after living in China 4 years. Prior to that I lived in Alaska where I still retain a home. A relocation to Oregon is probable next summer. Though filled with great memories, this amount of moving has had its moments and my daughter wants to stay put for her upcoming HS years.
I have a wide range of interests (traveling, cooking, gardening, hiking, biking, sailing, kayaking, fishing, reading, music, movies, arts, science, history, building (my house in AK), exploring, volunteering, other cultures) and like to keep up with what is happening in the world.
I remember thinking in my early teens I did not want to look back on my life and lament things I had not done, learned or experienced. My life so far is a testament to that. I expect my future years to be more of the same.
I do like a balanced approach to life. Traveling is great, but I also like to stay at home, raise a garden, have a daily routine, pets, read, drink tea, continue learning Chinese, or just sit and be.
I like to learn, help others, stay current. I like living this life and plan to be around well into my 100’s.
