I'm a retired former online university instructor. I used to travel while working, and my partner and I have continued to do so into retirement. I like using my time to read and write, gathering inspiration from the people I meet and the places I visit. As an older individual, I'm putting more time and energy into my spiritual quest, and being vegan is an integral part of that. I am enlivened to see the younger generation taking up vegetarianism and veganism, as it gives me hope for a better world in the future. We enjoy nature, especially swimming amongst fish, going for walks along the seashore or in the Welsh countryside, looking out of our window at the birds that share our living space, and working in the garden growing flowers and vegetables.
