Hobbies include walking, traveling, meeting new people, reading, and watching television

Walking is often used as a form of daily exercise. I love walking along the beautiful beaches (whenever I get the chance) but mostly the walks are through the local settlements where I live.  Sometimes I consider myself a world traveler because I have visited places like Helsinki, Finland, Cape Town, South Africa and perhaps more than  fifty percent of the US .  Reading is another favorite pastime as well as watching television.
