Date men from United States / California / Belmont, 54 year old

Date a man from Belmont, United States. As most people say: "I am not too good about this". So this is to be short. Also, I am a bit old fashioned. I prefer to get to know someone over time, over experiences people have together. Not through an essay online...
I am an Eastern European ex-pat who lived most of his life in California.
I work on my theater, some films and writing.
I love friendly, smiling faces, patience and, above all, curiosity about the world. I hate resentment, vengefulness and stubbornness. I like the process of discovery and taking the less traveled road.
The six things I could never do without: Food, Belgian Beer, Sex, Animals, my Kids and Amsterdam.
Not necessarily in that order...
I am looking for a partner, companion, friend, lover, artistic soul mate... you get the idea.
I am looking for a balance between quiet family/home life and ADVENTURE.
