Meet a woman from California, United States. I would like to meet someone who smiles and enjoys life and likes to travel and loves pets. It would be good if he enjoys romance and is attractive as well. Chemistry is a must for me
I am energetic and enjoy learning about many things. I love science, politics, photography, animals .and music. I care deeply about the environment and about people less fortunate than myself.
I live in Palomar Park, CA (aka Redwood City) and Koloa, Kauai . I spend more time in Redwood City but that may change now that my dog can go to Hawaii with me.
My belief when parenting is "Prepare the child for the path, not the path for the child." I hope that it's helped me to raise 2 independent, wise and strong girls. They are on their own now and I'm very proud of them.
I love to travel while photographing wildlife. I will be going to Rwanda in Oct, 2012 and Brazil in Sept 2013. My passport could always use more stamps.

Date a soulmate from California, United States. I have a relatively independent life style but I am ready for friendships and laughter. Although I have never married, I was in a committed relationship for 25 years and have been "on my own" for a few years now. My humor can range from silly to dry. I pretty much say what I think (although never in a hurtful or unkind way).Friends and family - people - are important to me. In fact, I like my life. I have a great job, friends and family that I love. I enjoy spending time with people, but I need my "me" time, too.
I would love to meet someone with a great (and broad) sense of humor, who can laugh at himself and isn't afraid to show a silly side. Although shared interests are important, I think people should have individual interests, as well. Mutual interests would be admiring the beauty of nature, road trips, trying new ethnic restaurants. I am usually up for just about anything and my tastes are pretty eclectic. Someone to share performing arts (plays, musicals, concerts, opera, symphony)... I just love to enjoy new experiences. Arrogant and shallow people are not my thing, so please be kind and thoughtful, love people and be open. I am left of center politically and if you support the Tea Party folks, we probably aren't a match.
