Date a soulmate from Mill Valley, United States. With a love for the ocean and countryside and a bucket list filled with places I still want to explore, IРІР‚в„ўm an adventurous soul with a love for life, and IРІР‚в„ўm hoping to find a wonderful man who can join me in the fun!
Curious, confident, and often asking questions, I love to learn new things so when IРІР‚в„ўm traveling the world IРІР‚в„ўm not only amazed by itРІР‚в„ўs beauty, but I am especially passionate about various cultures and how they live, thus learning about all the injustices in the world. Interested in politics, news, and world events and with a bleeding heart for the less fortunate, I feel happy when I give back and can do for others, and would love to volunteer around the world someday. Loyal and compassionate I not only have a love for people, enjoy talking with them, and value what they have to say, but IРІР‚в„ўm also what I consider an over the top dog lover. I think I love dogs almost as much as people! My dog Madison is my buddy and I take her everywhere I can, and I would love to meet someone who feels the same way about dogs too!
Those who know me best are familiar with my fun loving, optimistic, and upbeat side, as I love to laugh and have a great time. My friends would say I am fun to hang out with, and IРІР‚в„ўd like to agree!

IРІР‚в„ўd love to meet a positive and outgoing kind of guy to have fun and share each day with. IРІР‚в„ўm most attracted to a modest confidence; humble yet sure of himself, a good listener but with an opinion on things that are important to him, and someone who I know will have my back, and mine his! The best match for me is a family man, who loves being around his kids or anyone close to him, has good family and friend relationships, and appreciates everyday we have together. We should add to each other's lives in a positive way, and hopefully with plenty of humor, as I love to laugh and hope you do too!

Thanks so much for taking the time to read my profile, and I hope to hear from you!
Meet someone special from California, United States. I'm a tall curvaceous blond, who is searching for a kindred spirit. Friends say I'm a fun and easy going person to be with. I enjoy writing; making designing different things. I enjoy throwing great parties for friends and family; being in and on lakes, rivers and the ocean; sitting around a campfire; attending great music and dance festivals. I'm an honest and loyal person who has a good sense of humor; am kind, playful; intuitive; passionate and also enjoy being around children (they keep you young).
When I'm not working, I try to enjoy life and have been fortunate enough to have done just that. I worked art fairs in the past and spent a fair amount of my free time river rafting; ocean kayaking and hiking the trails out at the Pacific coast with friends. I must admit these days, I mostly go to the gym for yoga and pilates, etc. and so an occasional hike. I miss the water stuff hopefully, I hope that will change soon but there are only so many hours in aday and I'm spending a fair amount of my time learning website development, which I am thouroughly enjoying.
Well, that's just a little about me. I think it would be fantastic to once again find a partner who's looking for someone he can share some mutual interests with; that might like to explore new ones together and can admire and appreciate that which is unique and different in each of us. I must add that I don't enjoy being in the company of people that drink,gamble, etc. in excess. I guess it's that catholic upbringing.
If I have sparked your interests and you would like to know more about me; send me an email with your questions. If there seems to be some mutual interest, we can meet for coffee or a good glass of cabernet!
Be well. Chris
Date a soulmate from California, United States. Fun, extremely kind and caring, beautiful and always looking for a great conversation. Enjoys movies, reading, dinners (cooking and going out) and leads a very active lifestyle, swimming, yoga, and so on. Best descriptors: positive, kind and fun.
Looking for someone who values life and those people around them. Someone who loves to laugh and enjoys life on a daily basis.
Meet a woman from California, United States. I'm very grounded emotionally and many of my friends call me their "anchor." I'm always open to learning more about myself and would love to find a partner who has the emotional depth and curiosity to do the same. I am warm and affectionate, spicy, sensual, politically incorrect, a great listener, and grounded in reality. I love to be challenged, teased, romanced, and surprised.
My spirit is moved by anything kinetic: dancing, skiing, ocean waves crashing on the shore, intense and emotional music. I have an insatiable curiosity and will try almost anything once. I've raced cars at Laguna Seca (16 guys and me), paraglided off the coast at Fort Point, ridden a camel in Egypt (it bit me), hot-air ballooned over the Serengeti and cramped across glaciers in Patagonia.
What fills me up is travel. I grew up in Michigan, was an exchange student in Europe, got the travel bug, and since then I've been to about 100 or so countries in Africa, South America, Asia, Europe and elsewhere. I love interacting with people from other cultures, learning about their lives and creating connections wherever I go.
Other than travel, my two passions are animals and dancing. After spending 15 years heading up the San Francisco office of a global ad agency, I now volunteer full-time as a brand consultant working with wildlife conservationists around the world. And I dance in a troupe called The Don't Quit Your Day Job Dancers. We're all about fun, not perfection.
I would love to meet someone with juice: someone who is lively, passionate, creative, sexy, playful, and mischievous. A man who has a wicked wit, a sparkle in his eyes, and a readiness to laugh at himself. Someone with a high "get it" factor and a healthy dose of irreverence. Someone with a boundless intellect, a profound inner wisdom and an adventurer's sense of exploration. I like men who are real men: strong, rugged, not too manicured or preppy. I'm looking for a best friend, a life-long love, an eventual rocking chair buddy to hold hands with on the porch and reminisce about our great adventures. And yes, of course someone who is a great communicator who can be there with me, as I will be for him, willing to push through the hard times. And since I'm a girl, I want the romance. Someone who selfishly enjoys being romantic in creative, innovative and surprising ways. Someone who takes the time to make me feel adored and special. A bit naughty perhaps -more Rhett Butler than Ashley Wilkes. And finally, an adventurer: someone who has the time, the resources and the inclination to travel the world with me and make a difference.
Finally, I don't respond to winks. If you're interested, say something!
Date someone special from United States. I'm on the serious side, but I love to laugh. I have passions for animals, technology, politics and tennis as well as just being outdoors so long as it isn't too hot. I'm very open and willing to listen to opposing views. I enjoy eating healthy and say "yuk" when I see people eating crapola. Overall fairly flexible and always interested in learning.
Meet a woman from Mill Valley, United States. Looking for a long term relationships, life should be shared. The kids are grown and gone, lets build some memories as we explore life.. I'd love to have someone to travel with and discover all sorts of off the path adventures.
Hope you are involved in volunteer work,
I have finally been able to achieve something I wanted for a very long time - involvement in helping people directly who need a one time bit of help. The foundation I work with is unlike United Way or others in that we give scholarships/grants directly to the individual who need something, we don't run it through a business model that pays the COE $400k off the top.

Date someone special from Mill Valley, United States. I am a successful artist and am looking for my later life companion. I enjoy being alone, but think life is richer when shared. I like intelligence above all...and playfulness...I adore British humor. I love to travel and think of myself as European in many ways...especially the Italian part of Europe. I adore the synergy that can occur with the right mate. It is all about energy systems!
. I view life as a creative and enlightening journey. I love people and gardens, music and art, mountains and oceans, and books and travel. My home is filled with light, color, and open windows and doors.
Growing up and spending most of my life in Mill Valley, I realized I hold a strong sense of place -- the lush green hillsides of winter that turn golden in summer, the gentle presence of Mt. Tam, the intimacy and comfort of a small town, and the rhythm and promise of the ocean just over the hill, are all a part of me. However, I think it was the adventure of crossing the Golden Gate Bridge, as a child, into the energy and diversity of San Francisco that first stimulated my love for exploring new places -- and a trip across "the pond" to England when I was 6, sealed the deal! Travels through the US, Canada, Europe, and now Mexico have ensued. Sharing, planning, and experiencing with a someone special enriches life's adventures and makes them a lot more fun!
Five years ago I first visited Oaxaca and immediately fell in love with its beauty, energy, and creativity. So, when I found myself unexpectedly retired 3 years ago, I relocated to Oaxaca. My Spanish language skill was limited to two years in high school, but IРІР‚в„ўve always wanted to learn to speak another language -- the move here has provided me with the perfect opportunity. ItРІР‚в„ўs not easy, but itРІР‚в„ўs another page in this work in progress....
While continuing to maintain a presence in Mill Valley and returning twice a year to the US to visit family and friends, I am relishing my downsized lifestyle on a rooftop overlooking the valley where corn was first cultivated. Travel has shown me that "place" is something to be explored, appreciated, and enjoyed -- not something to cling to. So, while I love my life down here, I'm not tied to it. Bumper sticker wisdom seen several years ago resonates: "When you live in your heart, you are always home."
For several years I volunteered for the Mill Valley Film Festival and the Mill Valley Fall Arts Festival. While artistic expression is seen everywhere down here and Oaxaca is home to a lively art scene, movies are a different story -- thus trips to the US include cramming in as many movies as possible.
My musical tastes range from The Beatles (of course!), Dylan, and Eric Clapton (saw Cream at Winterland San Francisco in 1968) through Bonnie Raitt and Stevie Ray Vaughan to Jack Johnson and Corinne Bailey Rae, and from blues and jazz to classical music. And now I'm loving the musical sounds of southern Mexico -- the voices of Lila Downs and Alejandra Robles singing traditional songs, the harmonies and guitars of Trio Santo Domingo, and the countless marimba players who set up on sidewalks all over the city and whose music provides a soundtrack to life in Oaxaca.
My friends would characterize me as an optimist, strangers have told me I have a nice smile, and, while I have a serious side, I try not to take myself too seriously -- I love to laugh. My family and friends (many of whom I've known most of my life) are where I have always placed my highest priority -- they are a wonderfully creative and intelligent crowd! Of course, I am incredibly proud of my 2 sons and stepson and the men they have grown to be. All three continue to fill me with wonder and teach me great lessons.
Who am I hoping to meet? A creative soul with an adventurous spirit who values honesty and sincerity, is playful, kind, gentle, intelligent, has an open and non judgmental mind, an appreciation for the beauty and gift that is life, and a man who knows how to be a friend, as well as lover. Most of all, I'm ready to be surprised and delighted!
I'd prefer a few lines to winks.
. I lead with gratitude. Love humor, integrity, character. Trust is a must! Communication, of course. I have had to work hard for a happy life and I'm thrilled that this is true. It has made me a better person.
I have a wonderful group of friends. Marriage always scared me, yet I would like to have the right partner. I have taken care of myself and would prefer a man who has done the same.
I'm primarily an intuitive personality. I like romance and would prefer a man who is sensitive (not overly), and considerate. I like athletic mence.
A golfer would be nice, but not necessary.
. So to begin, I am a fun loving, honest, adventurous, passionate , intelligent and generous person. I miss having someone to share life with, I have the desire, time and means to travel, and would like to enjoy life with someone special.
I have been self employed for the past 25 years as a sales representative, and have recently decided to retire and have been enjoying all the activities that were sometimes put on hold. Activities that I enjoy are: sailing, I have recently learned to row a scull, skiing, golf, music, theater, etc. I also spend time on my boat in Tahoe with friends and family in the summer.
