opera night in Vienna April 2022
Pat, Vienna opera night Apr 2022

Welcome to a part of my online world, relating my happily-homeless interval between years of running a bed and breakfast in Virginia and the years ahead making a new home ... where, TBD.

I'm Pat Patterson, or vagabond Pat these days. "Eternally single" and most often solo, I think I have a great talent for enjoying life, age and budget no matter. I thrive on numerous passions: travel, classical music and opera, healthy gourmet food whether dining out or cooking in for friends old or new, wine, learning and using foreign languages, creating websites, teaching English, reading history ... "It takes two" is not so true!


Dreaming of exploring new places or trying new things?JUST DO IT.
