My life as "Coco Masuda"

Hello. My name is Coco Masuda.

After graduating from high school in Tokyo, my father sent me to St.Michael's College in Vermont to study English. That was 1979. The following year, I moved to New York City, the only place in the US where I thought I could be happy. Though I later lived in Boston for a year and had vacation homes in Hawaii and Woodstock (NY), I called New York City my home for most of my adult life. The pandemic and my age changed that, and now I mostly live and work in Columbia County (Upstate, NY) and go down to the city only when necessary. But I remain a New Yorker.

On this site, I have been writing a blog for the Japanese audience about:

• information about New York City

• information about Upstate NY

• my life as a female, senior business owner, and a creative

• my life as a single mother of an adopted daughter

• love and dating scene as a woman over 60

• tips about learning and improving English

• everything else that happens in my life

I am starting to translate what I wrote in Japanese into English, but I am super busy with other things, so bear with me. You are welcome to send me a nudge request if you wish.

The blog's title was coined by a dear friend who thinks my life is unique. I don't know about that, but I know I am a sharer. You can also follow me at:
