I've taken voluntary redundancy from my job as a manager in a large US IT company. I'm looking to gain a better knowledge of languages. I've taken basic courses in Spanish, German and French in the past but haven't kept up with them. I'm interested in science, psychology and lots of other things. I love reading and I read about a whole range of subjects.

I'd like to travel more. I own timeshare weeks in Spain on the Costa Del Sol and have exchanged them to stay in Tenerife, Greece and places in Scotland and the UK.
