Who am I and How did I get here?

First word:   TRAVELING
I blame it all on my parents.  I have a gypsy gene.  No doubt they passed it along.  No one in either of my parent's family had ever ventured more than 20 miles from their respective farms until WWII.  My father was in the Army, met my mother and traveled the world.  So, my wanderlust was inherited and no doubt fueled by my having a passport since I was 6 months old.

Next word:  HIPPIE
Oh yes, I self-identify.  Lived it, loved it and longed for the day when I didn't have to wear shoes again.  I did and do, embrace all the freedom of mind and body that the 1960's and '70's represented. 

NOW:
After having a job for 45 years (duh...I was tired), I moved to Costa Rica basically for affordable health care and inexpensive cost of living.  This blog follows my journey and travels
