Date someone special from Sitka, United States. A Brazilian living in Alaska? Doesn't sound quite right but I love my life! To say that I stay busy is an understatement; I work two jobs, love meeting new people and spontaneous experiences. I love to travel to places far and wide, but impromptu weekend trips can be exciting as well.
I've been divorced long enough to know that I'm ready to share my life with someone again. Those who know me best say that I am a giver, and that sometimes I do too much for others and not enough for myself. But most are impressed with my energy and the way I embrace life.
I've been a personal trainer for 25 years and take pride in how I look. Working out and staying healthy keeps me young, and I enjoy looking my best at all times. Please be able to say the same. I am romantic and thrive on affection and attention. I am expressive and show my love for others.
I am looking for a man who can give me the same love and attention that I will lavish on him. Strong, silent types are at a disadvantage, because I'm not a mind reader! But if you can express what you're feeling, we'll get along just fine. I'm just bored with doing everything solo and I'm ready to meet someone who shares the same interests as I do with a flare for adventure and fun times. My kids are both grown and married with familes of their own and they are pushing me out of the nest now telling me to go and find someone to enjoy my life with again..
I'm drawn to men who sport a rugged and clean cut look but have an outgoing, friendly and funny personality.
Distance is not an issue with me as I travel to Wahington and Oregon area frequently for my sanity....I lived in Southern Oregon for many years before moving to Alaska and I really miss it! I have winters off with my job so I try to spend a few months in Oregon and Washington and try to hit as many ski slopes as possible.... Then a few weeks in the summer to hit the beautiful Rogue River for some white water rafting is one of my favorite pastimes!
Meet people from Sitka, United States. If my vision of a good relationship coincides at all with yours (see below), if you're open to adventure (I'm planning to be mostly retired in a few years and am excited about the possibilities), if you'd like a caring partner and think we might have something in common, contact me. I just turned 63, but am (always told) I look young for my age. I know I still feel young. I've been in a number of long-term relationships, married once, with generally amicable break-ups, although my heart's been broken a couple of times. Have been single for the last 6 years. Given a chance, I think I could get it right this time.
Professionally, I was a special education teacher for several years, then fell in love with boats and the water, gill-netted and long-lined (deckhand), and chartered (captain, fishing and natural history tours) for over 20 years total. Am now working a couple of (interesting) part-time jobs.
Still love the water, kayaking and boating; like hiking in forests and along beaches; camping (esp. cooking over a fire); like to read and contemplate; make bead and crystal window hangings for fun and a little profit.
I love living in Sitka, AK and have been here since the 80's, but believe a change would do me good. Will be happy to share more about myself if you're interested. I'm very interested in who you are and what you like and want in life.
My ideal: In our relationship we value each other's friendship, and co-operate well together whether we are cooking dinner, doing chores and projects, or finding our way in a strange place.
We appreciate each other, understanding how life experiences have shaped each of us, and marvel at the humorous and quirky intent of the universal will. Because we enjoy being together, weРІР‚в„ўre usually up for some kind of activity, especially nature related, but also cherish private time, relaxing, talking, loving.
OK. ThatРІР‚в„ўs the ideal. Day-to day reality and stubborn egos may overwhelm our lofty dreams and common sense from time to time, but we accept those times with patience and good humor, and take the next step.
Date men and women from Sitka, United States. Thanks for stopping by to check out my profile. I try to live my life with an attitude of gratitude, and mindful of the law of attraction. I'm grateful for the good people in my life, the things I have, the beautiful place where I live, my financial security, and the good health I still enjoy. I'm focused on the possibilities that may come, and am ready to start a new chapter in my life after losing my husband of 40 years in 2010. It would be much more fun with a partner. People were meant to go through life by twos.
Though I'm not a big smiler, I am a happy person, content with my life. I don't whine or grumble, and hate drama and negativity. I'm very easy going, and I think, easy to get along with. My ability to think critically and creatively, to plan and organize, write and speak well, and deal with a broad range of people, has allowed me to find work that has been challenging and fulfilling. I believe that I'm compassionate and empathetic, making most people feel good being with me. Though shy at the core, I've learned to present an aura of confidence and self assurance. I guess I'd have to say that my coping skills are also one of my best assets, as I've survived living in adverse situations with patience and grace. I've learned over the years that looking for the silver lining in every situation has helped me make the best of whatever comes along.
I grew up in the Seattle area, then lived in several small towns in the southwest for twenty years; before sailing to Alaska with my family in 1990. While raising two kids, I learned to lay bricks, build houses, dig for artifacts and run a hardware store, among other things. With an elementary education degree, I did some teaching along the way, kindergarten through high school, as well as home schooling. I also taught Hunter Education for many years. As a youth, I loved to swim and to teach others to swim. I spent the past 20 or so years continuing to teach by helping kids and adults learn how to find work or start small businesses.
Many years of self-employment led to my founding and directing a small non-profit agency in Sitka - providing employment training and small business development. After ten years at that, I spent two and a half as the executive director of a Chamber of Commerce before taking a job with the legislature that is part-time, and allows me to slide into retirement.
I like my life here in Sitka, but am open to living almost anywhere, with the right reasons and/or the right person. I've lived in 12 states, all in the West, and could be content in any number of places, though I have to say I've always preferred smaller towns and more temperate climates. After visiting New Mexico again this summer, the beauty of the mountains, the artwork, even the desert of the Southwest are tugging at me to spend more time down there. My daughter and son-in-law are living down there now.
I love meeting new people and seeing new places. Would like to find a man who loves and respects me just the way I am, and would expect to give the same in return. I am very flexible about where and how I live, as long as we're having fun. I have to say, it's so nice when men return an email or a wink, and I promise to do the same - even if it doesn't seem like it will go anywhere. Thanks for reading.
Meet a soulmate from Sitka, United States. I'm looking for someone who enjoys life, quiet times, and beautiful scenery. He must have a strong faith in God and put God first in his life, me second and everything else third. He must enjoy doing things as a family as well as just the two of us. I'd like him to be able to sing reasonably well and enjoy singing all of the time. If he likes sports, I could enjoy watching and supporting him in it but would not be able to participate. (I'm a klutz and laugh at myself all of the time.) I enjoy doing things by myself but would prefer to have him along.
Date someone special from Sitka, United States. I'm willing to travel the world and see new and exciting places with that special someone who is caring and devoted. Or he could want to share my life with me - boating, fishing, hunting in Alaska! I feel comfortable in rubber boots or high heeled shoes, get sweaty climbing a mountain or doing a hot number on the dance floor!It would be great to meet a guy who has the same interests as I do - a love of the outdoors, hunting, fishing, hiking, camping - keeping active! However, its so nice to have quiet time too; time to spend with each other over a nice relaxing dinner or just at home hanging out. It's important to me that a partner is devoted and sincere, caring and slow to anger. Willing to travel and try new things!
