I have been Hindu since my past life.
In this life I had the misfortune to be born in Brazil and cursed to move to UK in 2000 and never been able to get out.

I work as an Interpreter, writer and illustrator of books.
I wrote 47 children's books and 2 adult books. Hope to publish some in November 2020 and the rest next year. It is hard work illustrating them as I like, digitally with the use of an iPad, but it would be harder is to pay someone else to do it, as it is costly.
I also like to design websites.

I love to study Vaishnava literature. I started it in 1982 and have never stopped. I read the whole srimad Bhagavatam this year and had read it before too. I read the Bhagavad-gita often. It is my life.
I like painting in oils very much, I wished I had time to paint. I had studied with a great master, who had learned it from the Italians' tradition of art oil painters.

I love to travel. I have been to the USA twice, lived there for 9 months. I wish and pray I never have to live there again.
I lived in and visited Portugal, Bangladesh, Denmark, Canada and went to India 6 times and travelled the whole length of the coast of Brazil. The beaches there are the most beautiful and the water warm and the sky blue. Portugal has beautiful beaches but the water is ice cold and it is boring.

Story teller, musician, artist, carpenter, cook, gardener, orchardist, hiker, lover of life, this natural world, and our fellow creatures.

I live on a small acreage at the edge of a small city in southern Oregon. I spend some of each day interacting with the place with carpentry and gardening. There is much other time here for manifestations of creative energy...music, art, Qigong. The setting is an integral part of and beautifully surrounded by nature.

Personal History:
Raised in a small town in southern Oregon. Studied fine arts in college during the era of the war in Vietnam. Refused military service and was ultimately awarded the classification of conscientious objector. Completed my 2 years of alternative service in the Peace Corps in Costa Rica. Traveled a third year in Central and South America. Returned to southern Oregon and, culture shocked, lived three years in backwoods settings. The last two of these years in a small log cabin deep in an ancient native forest (see photos). Grew large gardens, foraged for my food and studied Eastern religions, Native American history and skills. Played lots of music. Practiced yoga. Painted naturescapes (see photos). Returned to civilization and joined with six other friends to open the area's first vegetarian restaurant. Worked for Wilderness preservation. Traveled and lived in Japan and China. Studied Japanese carpentry and Zen. Returned to southern Oregon and began work as a vocational rehabilitation counselor. Eventually became a legal counselor with a private non profit assisting client's of low income in matters of civil law. Loved counseling and problem solving with people to gain perspective on their life and legal situations. Married and amicably divorced, focusing on raising our son and not our differences. During the years of legal services work I also taught a wilderness hiking class at a local college during spring and fall terms. In 2015 I left the legal work and returned to a small acreage where I have been working on gardening and carpentry projects since. I play piano daily and accordion occasionally. I have also worked periodically with a local vegetarian group that teaches and encourages the lifestyle. I have practiced Zhizeng Qigong daily since leaving the office.

My birthsign is Capricorn and I pretty much fit what is said regarding capricorns; independent, self reliant, kind, a bit stiff emotionally but warm and kind once you know me. I have two dogs from the shelter I love. If I had to describe myself, I would say I am like a car that is 18 years old with 5,000 miles on the clock; I am older, but, for the right woman to whom age is not the most important thing, I have a lot of service and love to offer, and kindness too. Soon I will post photos so stay tuned Bill

I am an open minded guy and recently became active again on this site. I am a lawyer by profession.

I deeply care about the environment and animal right issues. I became a vegetarian about 15 years ago.

I am spiritual but do not consider myself religious. I am a new student to yoga and loving every bit of it! I am further interested in tantra, plus adding more spirituality in my life.

Politically, I lean to the left on most socio-economic issues of contemporary times. I support social justice and I can be expressive about my views when appropriate. I consider myself romantic, passionate, and cuddly.
Playing tennis, working out at the gym, and playing cricket have always been my athletic passions.

Would you like to walk, jogging and cook with me ?
Maybe just watch the stars at night when we are talking, maybe a picnic in mountain Charleston or enjoying the sunsets in Costa Rica where you can be between mountain and beaches in just a few hrs apart...

In no particular order:
I'm vegan, an activist, and social justice supporter. Leafletting, PPV, VR, protests, vigils. Hopefully change hearts and minds. Actually not so much as changing their hearts, but helping them reconnect with their own. I'd like to believe that we all started out with a vegan heart.

I stopped eating animals at 9 when I realized what meat actually was.

I volunteer about 4 times a week packing food for Feed My Starving Children.
fmsc.org

I'm part of several vegan/vegetarian meetup.com groups for potlucks, dine outs, picnics, board game nights, sanctuary visitsworkdays, and other fun stuff.

I love dogs, don't have any now but had 2 rescues at any given time 1996-2015.

Friends, co-workers, and family tell me I am kind, loyal, calm, laid back, easy going, compassionate, welcoming, funny, analytical (though I sometimes get caught up in the details), gentle, understanding.

Saturday/Sunday mornings you can usually find me at Einstein Brothers, enjoying the taste and aroma of fresh bagels and the texture and aroma of a fresh newspaper. By the way, they call me Johnny Poppyseed.

Grew up in the northwest suburbs of Chicago. Been here my whole life.
I prefer low key settings and calm to over-stimulating environments, though I do enjoy going to summer festivals, carnivals, live music, etc around the suburban area.

I enjoy eating out, casual bike riding---I am not what I would call a cyclist---walks, hackey sack, reading to each other, cuddling under a blanket watching dvds when the weather outside is frightful (or after dark). I enjoy being outside much of the time (preferably above 30° but under 85°) though I don't consider myself that much of an outdoorsy type and would literally not be a happy camper.

I LUV standup comedians particularly observational humor, and impressionists like Frank Caliendo, Jay Pharoh, and celebrities who do imitations of other celebrities make me laugh til I can't laugh any more.
Movies: comedy, drama, true stories, romcoms.
TV: The Office, Modern Family, Family Guy, BBC productions like Scott and Bailey, Doc Martin, Death in Paradise, Last Tango in Halifax.
Music: Elvis, Rock, Dance, R&B, Country except the twangy stuff, most genres except jazz, rap, metal.

Just bought a guitar and starting to learn thru YouTube.

I'll be back to add more....

I am creative, a musician who loves nature, travelling and a harmonious lifestyle. My hobby is making amplifiers for musical instrument use. I like to help others and I like to be as honest as possible. I can be analytical, but also very spontaneous. I am a person who wants to see humans awaken and change the world from the current system of financial slavery and exploitation of us.

I’m a saxophonist / composer / educator that works a retail job during the day and teaches private lessons and freelances professionally as a musician. My passion is original music projects (currently have been writing/producing for an original solo project for the first time). I’m pretty chill and am fairly on the sensitive/deep side, but it’s hard to tell unless you get to know me well - consider yourself lucky. Interests include live music, hikes, biking, exercise (jogging, lifting), patios, friends, aquariums, etc

I enjoy Dancing, cooking, traveling. I enjoy hanging out with my friends and family My Hobbies are reading, scuba diving, snorkeling, reading. I like to write cheesy poems. Sometimes I write funny poems, everybody like my funny poems. They are pretty cool jajaja.

I am a student doing my higher diploma in early year education in Ireland. I am a big fan of nature with a positive outlook about life. When at home, I like cooking and reading. And I enjoy visiting museum, cafe time and hiking or cooking with my friends rather than going to pubs or parties. I love gardening as well though I do not have much time to do that.

I am an avid traveler and hiker who enjoys a good adventure. Asia is my favorite travel destination, but I'm open to any location. I'm looking for a kind and caring life partner who is educated and open to new adventures. I am honest and committed.

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 date, by the way.

Generally I am a happy person - I am close with my family and have many good close friends. I am an artist and art educator and enjoy attending art galleries, museums, theater, musical events etc. I enjoy walking, biking and hiking in my free time. I also like to stroll the beach looking for shells and to just relax as well as to swim and snorkel. Traveling, hiking, camping and gardening are things I hope to continue doing for as long as I am able. I enjoy sharing conversation, a nice dinner and maybe a movie or show. However, a picnic in the park or anywhere interesting is cool too. I am not much of a sports fan - but do enjoy super bowl parties. I have gone to football and baseball games (college and pro). I enjoy watching tennis matches as well. It looks as though I never stop - however, I do enjoy quiet evenings at home. I am currently building a tiny house on wheels and spend time perusing the web for ideas and product. Photography and making my art when I can makes me happy. I am a spiritual person, raised by creative and supportive parents. I meditate - I pray - I have been practicing yoga since the 70's - I have been learning to be here now for many years...and everyday I am grateful to be living a full and adventurous life.

I am most comfortable when I am at home reading, researching, and studying. My primary interests are continuous learning, personal growth and development, and U.S. federal politics. In addition I am interested in a broad range of subject matter, from anthropology through moral philosophy through zoology. I watch YouTube videos daily about nutrition, politics, and health.

My mission in life is to fulfill my potential as a human being.

After having had numerous highly intense relationships when I was younger, I have chosen to remain single for the past 23 years, in order to find my own way in life, without having to make major adjustments to accommodate another person. I have found my own place in the world now.

From 1975 to 2017, I worked as a plumber, steamfitter, flame safeguard control technician, business owner, teacher, and medical research laboratory assistant. I worked in construction, service, maintenance, teaching, and research, in industrial, commercial, institutional, academic, and scientific environments.

During that time, I scored in the 98th and 99th percentiles on two university entrance exams, and completed three management and three writing courses at the university level. My IQ has been measured at 147.

In 1984, I became a business owner and manager when I started up and managed a small mechanical contracting company.

In 1997 I became a teacher at a private technical college. I developed lesson plans and delivered classroom instruction. I designed courses and administered exams in industrial gas maintenance technology; combustion: chemistry, fuels, and systems; and safe purge procedures for industrial fuel gas and high pressure, high volume oxygen distribution systems.

In 2009, I began working as a lab assistant in the Faculty of Medicine at the University of Alberta. The research scientists I assisted were the most intelligent and considerate people I have ever had the good fortune to work with. I became a better person as a result of their influence, and for that I will be forever grateful. I resigned in 2017 in order to start up a small business.

In February 2019, after two years of intensive research, I decided to focus on learning how to earn an income by making profitable investments.

Hey there! My name is Ben and I live in St. Louis with my dog Sylvie and cats Mordecai, Marisol, and Isabella. I work in non-profit fundraising and I started a very small non-profit that helps people with résumés and resource searches and WiFi connectivity and stuff. I've been a vegan for over twenty years and have therefore attained the rank of venerable tofu elder. I'm probably kinda boring, but here's some more stuff about me so you can see if you'd ever wanna hang with me and Syl and the cats:

• I recently consumed 25 lbs. (11.3 kg) of organic grade B carrots within a 1 1/2 month span. This was a Pyrrhic victory for I am more carrot now than man; bland and awash in beta carotene.

• In my kitchen I possess many thousands of organic beans, grains of rice, and kernels of popcorn. Perhaps even tens of thousands! A wizened old-timer adorned in a cloak of avocado skins bestowed them upon me during an interminable Greyhound trek from Teaneck, along with the title Paladin of the Dry Goods. it is a tremendous burden.

• The infrastructure of the brick alleyway behind my apartment continues apace in its decay, revealing an incipient glimpse below into the timeworn remnants of an ancient underground empire from a long-forgotten epoch. I have mixed feelings about this.

• My diet these days is about 47% healthy pancake-based. What was intended as a salve in times of profound uncertainty has become a ritualized slog - a futile attempt to cling to normalcy, bereft of joy and meaning...the whereabouts of the waffle press remain a mystery. Anyway, here is my recipe for healthy oat flour pancakes:

1 1/2 C oat flour
1/4 C sunflower seeds
2 TBSP chia or flax
2 TBSP floofy stevia (or other sweetener)
1 tsp kosher salt
2 tsp baking powder
1 tsp baking soda
1/4 cup apple sauce
1 TBSP vinegar
1 1/2 C water

Blend in blender 'til smooth, let batter rest while skillet heats over medium heat; make pancakes. The pancakes will turn slightly green because of the baking soda's interaction with the chlorophyll in the sunflower seeds - if you'd like, you can make believe that you're eating green alien space pancakes.

Anyway, I guess that's all I have for you for now. I like to think that I am empathetic, kind, and reasonably self-aware - if those are qualities that you prize, feel free to give me a shout.

I like travelling, making creative dishes and long walks to the fridge.

I consider myself as shy or introvert but when I get to know someone well enough I tend to be extrovert. I love being playful when I really connect with people.

My favorite activities are meditation, yoga, walking, camping, swimming , biking and roller skating.

My life is simple. I cook my own food. I go for walks on the shore and hike in the hills. I have an exercise routine daily. I keep up on current events with the use of computers. I love children, but do not have any children. Staying busy by doing interesting daily activities. I am a docent at a nearby visitor's center.

Music, art, books, and film are what I care most about.

I studied English Lit in college. I'm self-employed in the building trades.

I am a calm man, sometimes an artistic soul with a lot of love for animals, nature, I love photography, painting and other activities

My main interests are cinematography, music, healthy lifestyle and psychology of human behavior.

The other day I met one old gypsy woman on my way home from a marketplace where I bought my veggies. And she said that I would find my love online. So, let's find out if she was seeing the future ;)

I've lived in Florida for 17 years. I have a 7-year-old Catahoula leopard mix that I rescued four years ago. She's my baby. I enjoy walking my dog and my weekly yoga class, jigsaw puzzles, cooking and baking, looking for sea glass, watching tiny house shows, and going to Disney World (not Disney-obsessed, though). My dream job would be working at a doggie daycare, kennel or rescue shelter. Or maybe teaching plant-based cooking lessons for those needing help as they start their journey into the WFPB world to better health.

I love dogs and have a not for profit senior dog rescue. I get old abandoned, unadoptable, neglected dogs out of shelters. They get medical care, love, freedom, and comfort for the rest of their lives.
