Date a man from Mount Shasta, United States. Hi, I've had a passion for the outdoors since childhood, and love sharing the magic of outdoor adventures and activities with others. Career-wise I was a mountain guide for 3 decades, a wonderful job that created many, many wonderful connections and experiences, real and metaphorical, in my life. I'm grateful I was able to travel all over the world experiencing new people, cultures, and adventures. It was a gift sharing adventures with a variety of people, and it always seemed to bring out the best in them (me, too, sometimes!). I love John Muir's saying, "Between every two pines is a doorway to a new world."
I love to laugh, especially at myself, and cannot imagine this often beleaguered planet without the gift of humor... or spontaniety, playfulness, and poetry, too!
The fun and adventurous already said, I also strive to be of service (Hospice volunteer, tutor, environmental causes, community projects, etc.) and try to make a considerate, compassionate, and positive difference in others' lives, as well as my own.
The qualities I most value in a partner - and in myself - are compassion, openess, trust, integrity, authenticity, honesty, support, fully share feelings, the ability to co-work through difficult times, comfortable in the present, embrace newness and surprises....and, of course, love!
So, besides sharing all sorts of outdoor activities and adventures, are you also someone who is up for a hike to a new lake for a swim? or a new restaurant? or deep discussions? or getting up and dancing? or exploring a new country? or maybe just loungng in a meadow and day-dreaming, with clouds, closeness, and snuggling?! And, of course, being wild and wacky and wonderful and silly, as well??!! Let's talk!
