Date men from United States / Arizona / Lakeside, 49 year old

Date a soulmate from Arizona, United States. I'm a jeans and T-shirt kind of guy. But I clean up well. Easy going and the live-and-let-live type. I like to think I am average in just about every way, no better and no worse (morally and socially) than the majority of people on this planet. Backpacking is my greatest passion, at the moment. I like meeting new people, experiencing other cultures and especially new foods. I love to travel, and have traveled a lot. I lived in Denmark for a couple of years - awesome experience! Just knocked Asia off my bucket list, I'd like to get to Autralia/NZ in the next few years. I'm probably good for one more backpack trip around Europe. After that, easy tours and cruises. I love kids (proud dad of a beautiful daughter) and animals. I'm an avid do-it-yourselfer. I love to fix stuff - cars, computers, home improvement... (must be the engineer gene). I like to help, for no other reason than to help others. I have a load of imperfections (too many to cover here), so I don't expect anyone else to be perfect. In fact, the imperfect people are way more fun to be around than the perfect ones. I drink socially, and when I've had too much, I'm happy and sappy. No criminal record. I don't have any freakish fetishes (not saying I won't try anything new) and no STD's. I get up in the morning hoping to do one good deed and learn one new thing, no matter how small. And my biggest fear is laying in my death bed, alone, with more regrets than I have today. Oh, and did I mention I love to cook! I don't dance, but not opposed to learning. I'm financially stable with no debt, other than my small mortgage. Some of the things that get me off my butt... beach cruising the bay & boardwalk, my 4Runner in the desert, Iron Mountain, just sold my quad and looking for a dirt bike, hanging out by my pool with a Margarita and just being outside. I prefer Laughlin over Vegas, dark beer, spicy food, Eastbound on Fri's and the OB street market on Wed's.
I'm looking for a woman that shares most of the same philosophies. Someone who motivates me. Easy going and comfortable with who she is. Communication and honesty are important - both ways. Someone wanting to travel, road trips, local tourist traps and far away destinations (passport required). I think there's nothing cuter than morning hair and pillow face!! Yup, I like mornings after my coffee of course. A good kisser is a firm requirement. I'm part-time dad to a wonderful daughter.
That's it in a nutshell, thanks for looking.
