Date men from United States / California / Muir Beach, 51 year old

Date a soulmate from California, United States. I'm a hard working, active, intelligent,an compassionate guy.I'm easy on the eye and I like to laugh and have fun.I'll try anything once (within reason).
I'm pretty much about the outdoors,I like to hike or bike through the hills then on the weekends I'm off to the mountains to ski or a trout stream or festival in some little town.Then again maybe just an early surf session and hanging out the rest of the day.
I've traveled a little for work and a lot for fun.I gotta say having done it both ways travel is so much more interesting and memorable when you're with someone special.Through my work I have lived in Austria an now I do a little work in France too. Amongst the growing list of places I've been, the Himalayas in Nepal, Alaska, a few times,Thailand,Costa Rica,Belize,All over middle Europe. the Seychelles, Kenya. I'd go back to all in a heartbeat.
I've got 23 nieces and nephews love'm all. Probably should've had a few myself. I might have missed the boat on that one but maybe not.
Music is pretty huge part of life too I dabble in a few different instruments but I wouldn't say I play much. I prefer almost anything to watching television except of course for movies.
I really enjoy hearing peoples stories.
I'm attracted to strong, intelligent, goodlooking women that are as comfortable and confident in an evening dress and high heels as a backpack & hiking shoes. A creative sense of humor goes an incredibly long way with me too. We all have or had baggage but hopefully by now you know why you are who you are and you're happily on to the challenge of being the person you want to be.
