Live music, literature, poetry, art, cultural events, left-leaning politics, liberal causes, peace studies, teaching, learning, spirituality, travel, baseball, and music again. I lived in Hungary and traveled to Czech Republic and Belgium in the early 90's and would love to travel more. I can read, write and speak some French. I took piano for a few years when I was a kid but can't play much anymore.
Cool people with interests in music, literature, art, spirituality. Interested in networking, friendship, dating.
