Meet someone special from California, United States. I am a genuinely nice person who gets satisfaction from helping others. I am a good listener and know how to be supportive and comforting even while providing opposing perspectives.
I especially love outdoor activities and am willing to try most anything. I can't stop smiling when I'm out on my bike, skiing down a mountain, swimming in the ocean, rafting down the river, hiking in the forest, or playing sports. I find open-minded conversations about most topics to be stimulating and intriguing. I grew up in the city but love the country and mountains. I definitely need cultural input; especially living behind "the redwood curtain".
I'm focused on finding happiness, fun, and fullness of life. I don't need a faster car or a bigger house, but I do need the right equipment to explore what life has to offer. I'm looking for excitement that can only come from adventure and the unknown. I'm looking for a partner to share it with. I've raised children and have a great love of family. I enjoy my profession and am challenged by my work daily. I am sensitive, passionate, strong, and composed. I require an intimate, physical, and emotional connection to my partner. I don't need a relationship to continue my exploration, but know the wonders of life are best when shared. I'm looking for a woman who pursues adventure, is strong and independent, loves touching, cuddling, and sharing, and likes to work and play hard. I need passion, intimacy, and caring from my partner, without losing one's self. I find humor is life's best medicine and appreciate when we can laugh at ourselves.
