My life as "Coco Masuda"

Hello. My name is Coco Masuda.

After graduating from high school in Tokyo, I was sent to Vermont by my father to study English in 1979. But the following year, I moved to New York City, the only place in the US where I thought I could be happy. Though I lived in Boston for a year and had a vacation home in Hawaii, I called New York City my home for most of my adult life.

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 college-age 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. So, please come back and check.

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:
