Date men from United States / California / San Leandro, 53 year old

Date single man from San Leandro, United States. Many people call me a renaissance man, because I love to jump into many diverse interests, and over time have developed some of them well enough to make life much richer, this includes painting and photography, film making, songwriting and performing bluegrass, country and western swing, but also Latin Nueva Troba, and Salsa.
I am inspired and moved by people who strive to really challenge themselves and find and pursue what they most love. I like a balance between work and play.
Friends are important to me, but family comes first, and true friendship is not common, but highly valuable.
When I travel, I love to live among the people that reside there, rather than do touristy stuff, I like to know the heart and soul of a country through the people I meet. I usually walk around with a guitar or other musical instrument, or sit and paint plien air, which usually leads to meeting other creative people.
I like women who are strong and into their creative and intellectual puruits, I love diversity and feel attracted to many cultures.

Meet a man from San Leandro, United States. I look for honesty and appreciate straight talk. I seek opinions and in having a greater understanding I hopefully improve mine. I enjoy talking my mind. Maybe, on occasion, a little distractedly.
I love subtlety in non verbal communication. I like cats that like me back.
I enjoy skiing and make an effort to go often. I like the smooth motion of the ski run. I like to think about what's happening in the moment.
I also enjoy mountain bike riding and go frequently, but not as often as I'd like. Most of my riding recently has been up at Tahoe. The fine trails are made more challenging by the elevation. Hike-a-bike is part of the deal.
Cooking, dining out, staying in, movies, theater, all good. I love my homebases and love to get away too. I've traveled quite a bit and would love to get out to places far and wide, although getting far away can be tough.
Self-employed, I consult as a general contractor.
