About Activity

Hi, I'm Fern Reeves and am a U.S. citizen. I am married to an Englishman who is also a citizen. I am a retired mental health therapist and college professor where I taught psychology. I want new adventures in my life and to let go of things that keep me stuck in a certain lifestyle. I have 2 grown children, 2 step-children, and 5 grandchildren who all live in the U.S. Portugal and its people seem to be the kind of life I admire and respect. I so look forward to our 2-week trip to Portugal in November and our plans are to wind up things here in the U.S. by mid year.

Interests: reading, caring about others., refurbishing items, cooking, living simply, meeting new people

I am Retired.
