I have a lot of creative and artistic traits, but I'm also athletic and love playing sports. That might not sound so strange, but I don't know a lot of people who are equally passionate about being both physically active and artistic. I can be completely serious one minute and a complete goofball the next. As an INFJ, I have the rarest of all the Myers-Brigss personality types (we make up less than 1% of the population). I think people have a hard time knowing what to make of me sometimes...
I'm a writer, a musician, and a photographer. A runner, a bike commuter, and an eco-friendly hippie who doesn't look or smell anything like a hippie. I'm a well-informed, socially-conscious, open-minded free thinker who reads like an open book. I am an honest, sincere, and open person. For better or worse, I don't know how to be anything other than myself.
I just finished my undergrad in Colorado when I was 29 and moved to the Pacific Northwest in August 2012. Obviously, I was a "non-traditional" student. I got a late start because when I was younger, I thought that I was going to work in the music industry in some capacity. I considered going to recording engineering school and luthier's school (to build guitars) while playing music in a little garage band, but I eventually decided that getting a degree was the best option for me. Now, I have a great job working for a vegan company.
I LOVE music (especially indie folk/rock). I know that everyone says they love music, but it truly is my greatest passion. I have a HUGE and ever-expanding music collection, and I always get excited about sharing my favorite music with willing victims. I make great mixtapes. Err... CDs. One of my favorite things to do is go to shows at smaller, more intimate venues. I like to play mellow, finger-picked instrumental songs on my acoustic guitar. My main instruments are guitar and bass, but I'm also learning to play didjeridu and mandolin. I'm always trying to get better at photography, too. I tend to be drawn to creative people and love talking about music and their other artistic passions with them.
I love cerebral independent/foreign films, documentaries, and silly/intelligent comedies. I enjoy red wine and good beer, but it's pretty rare for me to have more than 1-2 at a time. I can't stand bars unless I'm there to see a band or comedian.
I'm an aspiring world traveler. Life is short, and I want to see as much of the world as I possibly can! It's so damn expensive, though.

Extroverted, driven, and well-travelled. I grew up on the East Coast, have lived in Ireland, and moved to Portland 9 years ago. Things I enjoy: going to the mountains and the coast, international travel, game nights, coffee shops, bookstores, jiu jitsu, hanging out with friends, random road trips, reading, craft/house projects, having meaningful conversations, emotional intelligence, and challenging myself.

Midwestern-nice homebody who spends most nights with a movie or TV show—horror and sci-fi are favorites. Books and music keep things balanced. I enjoy watching spectator sports, especially baseball, because I can’t play them well. Devoted dog dad to Gus, a mall pet store rescue who runs the household and is terrified of cats. I live in New Jersey and only want to date locally (Eastern PA is fine). Traveling is overrated, and typically, something old is better than anything new.
Dark and dry humor, low-energy evenings, good stories, and someone who can enjoy the same things without forcing excitement are my style. If that sounds like your idea of fun, we’ll probably get along.

Happy, whole, open-minded, heart-based, hippie-ish, affectionate, self-confident, slightly kinky guy with lots of love to share. Very easy-going, non-judgmental American transplant to Ireland (dual citizenship), so I will always be an outsider/blow-in.
A kind-hearted and very liberal free-spirit, I find great beauty in life and also laugh a lot! A rich and fulfilling sex life is important to me as a way of communication and connection. I like to touch and be touched by those I love.
Currently living a rather low-key, rural life in a beautiful location, alone in a big house with one feline who chooses to be with me.
Reach out and say hello!

I am late 40s, an animal lover and media researcher who enjoys occasional long evening walks and generally being outdoors. Hiking, canoeing, swimming.
Also like cooking, good movies, reading, playing sports and visual arts.
I will climb a tree to rescue a cat and I'm in heaven at a clear country lake.
I consider myself practical but not terribly materialistic. I admire compassion, honesty and integrity.

I'm Ken with the VeggieConnection.com Customer Care team.
If you've received a message from me, it is in reply to your support question or to provide you with some assistance with VeggieConnection.com. I'm not currently dating, by the way.
I spend a lot of time outdoors. I kayak, hike, bike, birdwatch, and love meeting all my wild neighbors. The year before Covid I also started taking surfing lessons.
I write and advocate for causes I care about and have had some successes. The circus no longer comes to my town, there's a beautiful preserved forest that does NOT have a cell phone tower, there's a large city park where ALL smoking is banned.....
My favorite issues are environmental, animal rights, and those concerning poverty and human rights. I think in another life I must have been a peasant in a peasant uprising.
This might seem odd but for fun I collect trash. My kayak often looks more like a garbage scow as I gather plastics and other trash while kayaking on the river and at the beach. I mostly just find trash but I've found some interesting stuff too, including something the bomb squad had to blow up on the spot. I'm still waiting to find either a briefcase full of half a million dollars of drug money no one claims or a chest of pirate's treasure sticking half out of a sandbar.
I love gardening... for wildlife, for food, for beauty, organically, and with native plants.
I enjoy a variety of things and am always eager to learn new ones. I'm open to suggestions.....
I admire Thoreau, Gandhi, Paul Watson, Ric O'Barry, johnpaulgeorge&ringo, Zonker P. Harris, Jeremy Hilary Boob Phd.......

I'm honest, sincere and caring. Potentially, your best friend! I'm looking for someone to join me on life's journey. I retired seven years ago and am busy … I have a deep music interest and keep active. I'm into health, fitness, nature, travel, the outdoors. I enjoy kayaking, canoeing, cycling, running, hiking, swing dancing, street dances, downhill skiing, sunsets or watching the waves roll in on Lake Superior. I have a private home surrounded by trees, wildlife and streams. I'm proud of the fact that I've finished the inside of my house myself. I can see across Lake Superior to Wisconsin and with my surroundings no longer feel the need to camp, it's all right outside my front door. I'm willing to share!. I enjoy stimulating conversation, mostly beer nowadays, building a bonfire and gazing at the stars or northern lights! I enjoy happy hour and watching hockey or football games, but generally prefer my own bar to the bar scene! I enjoy sitting in the hot tub, watching the snow fall or laying in front of the fire listening to music, watching a movie or sports. Being vegan is important to me! It's a manifestation of some of my spiritual core! I don't follow any one religious denomination, however my Christian upbringing is at the center of my spiritual outlook. Much of my life has been spent delving deep into and coming to terms with the 'spirit' portion of my spiritual self! I treat all people the way I would like to be treated. I do not support the gay movement. I do support gun rights. I'm active and workout 3 to 4 times a week. I was born in South Africa and am well travelled. Two of my all time favorites places I've visited are the Kruger National Wild Game park in South Africa, and the Valley of the Kings near Luxor Egypt. Thank you for taking the time to read my profile.

My one tattoo says lots about me: "Tattoo!" Yep, that's my humor: quite intact -- even though life threw me a major curveball (a close encounter with a speeding drunk driver). I turned that around to focus on positives and share the wisdom I felt. Wrote a book for teens about inner strength.
I love real conversation. I am always gentle. Honest. Creative. Youthful.

I'm a digital nomad (for lack of a better term) with a transient, minimalist lifestyle. I'm not opposed to settling down somewhere for the right person if visa runs are viable; I did this in Taiwan for years.
I've been self-employed since the age of 20 and have lived abroad since 2016. Originally from the USA, though I have no intention to live there again. To stay active, I particularly enjoy cycling and exploring on foot, as well as occasional hiking. At home I'm content with films/series, reading, and gaming. When I'm in a new city, I always like to check out the museums/galleries, parks, and botanic garden (if there is one), usually with camera in hand. I used to sell photos for a living, and photography remains a leisure hobby.
I enjoy my independence, although I must admit, ever since I was young I daydreamed of traveling with a partner. That remains my desire, but it seems most people's conception of "travel" is what they see on social media.

I have been a vegetarian for several years. I love outdoor activities especially during the summer such as hiking and swimming. Traveling is also one of my interests. I have traveled to South America, Mexico, Germany, Italy, Austria, Switzerland, Lichtenstein and Turks and Caicos. I also enjoy seeing movies, reading books, going to concerts and going to museums.
With a bachelor's degree in biological sciences, I worked at first as a lab technician in an environmental lab. Eventually, I received my nursing degree and now work at a local teaching hospital.
I am very family oriented. I try to respect and get along with my parents.

truthfully:I have spent most of my previous life trying to fit in to a society that often does not truly understand me or my motivations. I once though that love truly could overcome all and found out that truth its self is the only thing that can't be overcome, and is often blind to the fact that one may be attracted to someone or that one may have fallen in love with someone that truly is not good for them. LOVE is RISKY; life is a fine balance between responsibility, risk, reward, romance and happiness. Ether a romantic or a fool: I believe that love or at the very least a good relationship can be found. I have not truly pursued any type of relationship since my divorce over ten years ago. Not due to lack of interest in the ladies or a resistance to romance but rather the realistic complications and responsibilities of being a single Dad who is committed to doing the best I can for my Kiddo (Son).

I'm separated with 2 children. The legal divorce is (hopefully) close to completion. I also have an older daughter out of the nest living on her own in grad school. I'm a very involved, loving parent.
I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor by profession. Most of my clients are children and adolescents. I love my work, I’ve been practicing for many years. I'm dedicated to helping improve the lives of my clients and in doing so, improve myself. I get so much from exploring other people's experiences.
I don’t smoke or use any drugs, and I’m allergic to alcohol.
I have an eclectic range of interests. I’m an avid hiker/walker and I also work out frequently. I own a small internet company that sells a backpacking stove I invented and I'm also building a jewelry/wearable art business. Certified in scuba as a rescue diver but don’t get to do that as much as I’d like. I like to go out and socialize. I never stop learning and growing.

I became widowed and retired at about the same time. I really did not have a plan or thought about this circumstance I find myself in. I have avoided eating animals for going on 15 years now. When I considered meeting new people, I found that I am not interested in building new friendships or bonding with people that do not share my thoughts and beliefs about plant-based eating. I am nearly 70, so why waste the effort. I have old friends who just think I'm weird, and have known me long enough to be accepting of my quirks, being vegan is just another one. When I thought about dating again, I decided they must be plant-based, vegan or vegetarian. My sweet wife was all of those at different times. I also wish to only date other widowed people, so it seems like I am asking for a lot. "Well, who doesn't harbour a Hallmark Christmas dream of a Winter Solstice lantern parade to end 2025 with!"
