Date women from United States / California / La Mesa, 39 year old

Date a woman from United States. I genuinely feel compelled to contribute to the world in a positive way, which is probably why I have spent my career working in nonprofits and public health. I am intuitive, real, and down to earth. I am a great listener, but not afraid to speak my mind.
I have a natural curiosity and many interests. I love to learn, and have new experiences and adventures. I rarely read the same book or watch the same movie twice, because there are so many more that I haven't gotten to yet! Time is valuable, and I want to use it wisely.
I am a travel junkie. The more unusual and off the beaten track, the better! As an adult I've been to 33 countries so far, and I lament the meager vacation time I'm currently allotted (I'm scheming on how to change that). A few places I want to go in the future (taken from a long wish list) are Bhutan, Madagascar, Ethiopia, Morocco, Japan, Guatemala, and Ecuador. I also love hiking, camping, and backpacking in beautiful and scenic places. That being said, I do enjoy lazy days, reading books, and hanging out in a cozy home after the adventure is over. Each type of experience fills me up in different ways.
I like to tinker in the kitchen, and am passionate about real, healthy food. I have a reputation for my love of kale, salads, and tea! Health and wellness are a pretty big part of my life, so I'd like to be with someone who is interested in being healthy as well (perfection not required).
I am a rookie entrepreneur, having recently started a very small business on the side. I am excited about the creative process of doing and learning whatРІР‚в„ўs required for the venture, and also inspired by the deeper intention behind my business, which has to do with cultivating wellness (of course)!
I am resourceful and independent, yet also love being connected to friends, community, and having a partner in crime (so to speak). I'm fortunate to have a good life, but I think being in a quality relationship would augment what I already have by adding more depth, joy, and satisfaction.
I've realized that I value a man with some enthusiasm and zest for life, someone who will explore with me and who can appreciate the journey. I like to spend time with unique, open-minded, progressive, and think-outside-the box people. I enjoy having meaningful intellectual and philosophical conversations with a partner. I like guys who are intelligent on different levels. ItРІР‚в„ўs not about whether you can do rocket science, it's more about having the capacity to think about things in a conscious and thoughtful way. Lastly, I place a high value on ethics and integrity, which puts them toward the top of the list.
