Date men and women from United States / California / Los Olivos, 60 year old

Date men and women from United States. I am a cheerful person..I tend to see the best in people and speak to that .I am experienced enough to know that some things REALLY matter and some things don't...I still believe in miracles and I believe in true love, compassion and kindness above all.
...I believe that we all have a personal mission in life and that the key is to find that, however treacherous the journey. .I love the outdoors and nature, but also love glamorous and beautiful places. I am continually on a quest for more knowledge, more wisdom and more challenges!
.
I could state the proverbial regarding myself.-loyal,loving, kind, compassionate, exciting, creative, sensual etc etc...but you will find all that out if we should meet.
.
. In addition travel is fine too.I have travelled around the world and lived in a few interesting places...London, Sydney, Auckland, New York, Palm Beach,Capetown.
... One of my pleasures is to write....hence I enjoy my solitude. My reason for joining MATCH is that I am looking for a life partner..I have enjoyed many good relationships in the past , but now realise that the only eyes I want to drown myself in are those of the LOVE object.....!
However I am a sports enthusiast and have enjoyed skiing a, tennis and am an avid hiker Back in Auckland NZ I did much sailing and the outdoors is my greatest pleasure..Hence a man who is pretty down to earth kind of suits me..
Obviously, we all have our thoughts regarding the perfect partner. I have created my ideal list but know that the fates will win in the end. It has been my experience that the unexpected is the thing to watch for.... All I require is that he be financially independent and has the time, energy and the desire for adventure and discoveries, good health, and has the capacity for intimacy....on many levels.... Hopefully we will be comfortable in each others company..
.. It would help if he has travelled, has an international frame of reference, and has a worldly understanding of LIFE itself.A little sophistication in matters of wine, food,movies.books,cooking, conversation, politics and international events would be helpful. As I now live in the Santa Barbara County in CA, actually in the beautiful town of Los Olivos I am loving the country life with its rolling hills and lovely Vineyards. I have become interested in horses again as my father bred race horses in New Zealand where I was born It is good to know that we really do go back to our roots.
..
.......I am not looking for perfection, just someone who is perfect for me..
