I am 80 years old, divorced (since 1991) with one daughter and I worked in the Hospitality industry for about 30 years till about a year ago when I had to quit for medical reasons. I worked with Hilton and three of their brands —- as Front Desk agent for Hampton Inn & Homewood Suites and as a Sales Manager for Embassy Suites for 21 years. My family is from the Philippines and I have Chinese and Spanish blood but moved to Okinawa in 1965 where I met my ex-husband, former American Marine. I have lived in Lynnwood, WA (via Okinawa, Wisconsin, Michigan, Arkansas, Florida, Hawaii) now for the past few years where my daughter also resides. So, I guess I can say I am “retired” till my doctors find out what is really wrong with me healthwise. 🙄

I can still understand some Tagalog but not that fluent anymore as my 4 siblings — 2 in California and 2 in Hawaii, speak mainly English. Never got to speak much Japanese in Okinawa though my father was fluent in it, & also some Korean and Spanish, which a lot of my families spoke in the Philippines. I took a few Korean language classes last year when I discovered BTS! And add to that, Park Hyo Shin! I am a registered ARMY Mom and have a set of Tiny Tan figures and concert light!!🫢😱

I love to dance and hike which have been curtailed because of medical reasons. I am an avid reader of fiction— suspense, mysteries, romance & some historical novels. I also journalize sometimes. I have also discovered in the past month, Korean series on Netflix. I love to travel but have done most of it in the states. My bucket list includes travel to Korea and back to Japan, Italy and Greece.

I guess, that pretty much sums me up.

I am actually planning to move back to Jacksonville, FL in hopefully, a couple of months.

I hope to really be able to converse decently in Korean and hoping to meet someone to attain this goal and learn more about the culture & customs.

Will try to upload a picture taken a few years ago

Thank you
