As an example to illustrate "place", I will use my own situation a few hours north of San Francisco in N. California:
I have a guest bedroom that is never used. A beautiful and very quiet location with an incredible view and deck overlooking a huge valley. Hiking from the front gate. 10 minutes to town. The state's biggest Redwood tree in an almost private unknown grove of Redwoods 30 minutes away (no crowds – you can be there totally alone 9 times out of 10). Lots of local wineries and gardens to visit. A coastal area of some fame and beauty an hour away – though the Pacific Ocean is too cold here for swimming for my blood! And so on.
As for who I am (the people part), my Profile is there to look at as a first stop.
Old timers will have somewhat of a sense for who I am from the years of posts we interacted on and the style and manner in which I did so. Others can do a search on Tinnitus Talk under my user-name and find threads I started or was heavily involved in. They may even be on subjects relevant to you but are so buried in history you had no idea they are there! Reading some will give you a general impression I expect.
Then of course, there is the unfortunate fact that I am someone who has extensive life experience with tinnitus and hyperacusis. I have a deep experiential understanding of the subject and you need have no fear of anything in the "noise spectrum" here. Normal speaking levels and so forth are fine for me and visitors would not have to feel like they must behave like frightened mice!
Lastly a few pictures:
The bedroom shown is the "Guest Bedroom" I mentioned.
