Date women from United States / California / Truckee, 71 year old

Date someone special from Truckee, United States. So here goes. Yes, I'm single again after many happy years with my childhood sweetheart. And yes, I'm finally ready to love again. Life is good. There is a song in my heart and on my lips. A ready smile on my face.
I am a positive, out-going person who likes to bring joy to others with my compassion and talents. I am a retired school teacher living in beautiful Truckee-Tahoe. I am blessed with good health, supportive family, and great friends. I am financially secure and able to enjoy my retirement pursuing my varied interests and passions. I am also a singer-songwriter and actress. My days are spent enjoying my mountain paradise and volunteering with visits to nursing homes, singing in choirs, performing theater, and the Humane Society.
I love to travel and would sure like a guy who is open to adventure. He would have a quick sense of humor, a keen intellect and an open mind to new ideas. He would love children, nature, animals, and me. (not necessarily in that order!)
We would be fine alone but even better together.
But enough about me and what I want! I would love to find someone who also likes to travel and explore what the world has to offer.
Does this sound like you?

Meet a soulmate from Truckee, United States. I am very healthy and love to live life to the fullest. I love to travel and have a very outgoing positive personality. I enjoy spending time with lots of friends and family. I want someone who is athletic and loves the outdoors and is interested in traveling, playing golf and hiking. I am financially independent and live in Tucson in the winter and Lake Tahoe (Truckee) in the summer. I love the ocean and Lake Tahoe. I had a very rewarding nursing career and want to meet someone who has a good sense of humor and is confident in nature. I fit into a crowd with ease and enjoy meeting new people. The person that I meet would have to like the outdoors and have a good sense of humor and be adventurous. I am interested in a caring, fun loving man with a positive outlook on life. I love fine dining and enjoy drinking wine (but a good burger and beer on occasion too!), dancing, sunsets and full moons. My favorite hot spots are Maui, San Francisco, New Zealand, Cabo San Luca and Italy (especially Tuscany). I'm a good communicator and very grounded in my beliefs and values. My friends say I look much younger than my age and I am a fun person to be around. I am always up for a new adventure. I am a very caring and compassionate person...always real.
I would like to hear from you and look forward to getting to know you better!
