Date men from United States / California / Port Hueneme, 62 year old

Date single man from California, United States. My friends say I am very bright, funny, caring and sensitive. Although my background is in business, I have a deep meditative side and a keen artistic sensitivity. I love to spend time in nature, and to travel. I have done well in my work and love what I do. Im taking time off from work now and writing my third book. Its a pleasure to step back and be able to fill my days and write as I please without having to think about work.
I enjoy cooking for friends, gardening, going to concerts, reading good books, hiking and long walks on the beach, and taking photographs. I go to the gym almost every day,
I was born and raised in France and go back there each year. I am looking for a kind and happy companion. Someone with a warm, rich and emotionally balanced personality, caring, with a sense for beauty. I value qualities of the heart, an ability to be in touch with and share feelings. Someone of whom people say "she is a great person". I particularly appreciate a woman with her own pursuits and passion in life, be it artistic, professional, philanthropic, or whatever else comes from a yearning to be one's best and help make a difference.
