Date a man from United States. I have a passionate love for nature, animals and humans, art and music, and knowledge about Earth, Universe and humanity. I have an insatiable curiosity about many things and am always learning more. I am an environmental writer and photographer, currently branching into fiction writing and art photography (nature-oriented).
I am looking for my heart's home, someone with whom I can talk and relax completely with and share the joys of living, experiencing and discovering. I don't dislike my own company and am content enough alone and with good friends, but I am happiest when I have a special someone. I am romantic and passionate, easy to talk to and an attentive listener. I have a strong sense of humor and try to get in 17.5 minutes of laughter per day (just kidding ;)
I am a happy positive upbeat person by nature, and I usually see the glass as not just half full but maybe three quarters or more. I have learned from the past and plan for the future, but my focus is on living happily in the "now" where we all find ourselves every time we look around.
I look after body as well as mind, eat healthy and work out or hike every day. I am very fit and healthy and my physique and energy now are little different from my 20s. All the photos with a beard are current (April 2010 to Feb 2012 - main photo is Feb 2012).
I am free of baggage, addictions, complexes, financial problems or significant health issues - and I hope you are too. My politics are broadly liberal but not conformist.
I have done a lot of traveling on five continents and have lived in six countries, but my current work no longer requires much travel. I think we are so blessed right here with the beauties and wonders of the Santa Monica Mountains, coast and Channel islands. But there are still many places I would like to see in the world, in California and in the USA.
How about you, the one I am looking for? You have the energy of youth and the wisdom of maturity. You are affectionate, passionate, romantic, comfortable in your own body and concerned to stay fit and healthy. You are compassionate, considerate, empathetic, confident, positive, open-minded, intelligent, curious, and somewhat adventurous. You don't just dislike drama but you know how we can avoid it through mutual understanding and sensible compromise. I will offer all of this in return. I respect a woman who has her own goals and interests.
PS Please look like at least some of your photos.
My radius is usually 25-30 miles to the East/SouthEast of me (thanks Los Angeles traffic!) but to the West it is double that.
