Date a soulmate from Alaska, United States. I've had an interesting life as I look back on my life in Alaska from raising three children in the Bush and forty years of marriage. I am thankful for the security, family and friends I now have and look forward to new opportunities in the future. I enjoy being active in my community and feeling I've made a contribution. I prefer my friends in small groups or one at a time. I'm not the cocktail-party type nor do I enjoy late nights clubbing. I enjoy good conversation. I believe I am well educated and enjoy being challenged but do not appreciate "angry old men" with an axe to grind, ultra conservative politics and conspricy theories. I've met too many of those already! I enjoy working around my home, gardening, reading, a good movie, performing arts and anything on the water. I have a kayak I'm able to enjoy from my own front yard when conditions are right. I love to travel both overseas and in our own country. My travel dreams are to be able to drive around the USA seeing new country and visiting old friends, visitng just about any foreign country and "living" on board a boat in southeast Alaska for a period of time. I grew up thinking that would be the ideal lifestyle but now I do like my comforts. I've been a commercial Bristol Bay fisher, art gallery owner, educator, and licensed professional counselor working in the Bush. I have been widowed four years and now divide my time between Alaska and Arizona. I'm looking for someone who enjoys my company for who I am, as is.
