Date men from United States / California / Capitola, 43 year old

Date a man from California, United States. Hello, thanks for taking a look at my profile.
Basically, I am very thoughtful, caring, athletic and intellectual.. I enjoy an active life, wether it be exercise or travel or more likely both. I like to have fun, and do a lot socially - meeting friends or having them over for dinner, and traveling together. Once I have had some exercise, I enjoy chilling with a book, glass of wine, or person I care about for conversation.
I have lived in London, Hong Kong and briefly Spain, and travel consistently to places like. London, Italy, Spain, Swiss Alps, Carribean, Mediterranean... you name it and I will enjoy going there!
I am interested in people that are accomplished and independant. I am tactile and romantic, and a friendship that builds into a romance would be intimate continuously. An ideal match will be based upon communication and acceptance, combined with an active lifestyle that includes exercise, experiencing new and interesting things, travel, literature and the arts, and intense romantic moments.
I am taking a bit more private angle on this Match.com, for two reasons:
I would prefer to keep my private life private (versus having business associates look me up on Match, and I have a couple of children who are internet savvy to say the least :)
So, if you are interested, please send me a note and I will send photos :)
