I recently moved from Manchester to West Yorkshire so that myself and my children could live in a greener, healthier space. I home educate my children as I believe that the current system of education is inadequate for our changing world, I juggle this with writing up my PhD.

I am originally from North-East Essex but have lived in West Yorkshire for over 17 years now.I work in a library which I love doingMusic, especially 'live', was one of my reasons for moving up this way and it is still a very big part of my life today. I enjoy going to gigs, mainly more smaller, intimate affairs. Back of a pub, basement, occasionally something larger and even more rarer a large arena. I've organised a fair few events too met many great people who have become friends along the way. I like most forms of music as long as there is feeling, energy and a passion behind it. I find similar thoughts coming to mind when I think of relationships; that there has to be a passion and energy there.Friendship is important to me too. Being part of a community and here where I live I am lucky enough to be a part of one.I like art, sculpture, pottery, open spaces, dogs, cats, most animals(!), some people - and as much as i find myself in despair at times I am also amazed at people's human ability too.I'm loyal, open and quite good at putting my foot in it occasionally. I try to be empathetic and see the bigger picture of both world events and things nearer home.I try, with the emphasis on try, to to grow plants on the small allotment plot that I rent and I grow salad and flowers at home.I cycle or walk most places but I still want to be fitter than I am.I think a lot about our environment, how I live within it and consequently I have been avoiding eating animals for more than half of my life and I share my life with a very beautiful black old cat whom I am obedient to.More at home in tshirt and jeans than tie and shirt.I like books and reading and I am very happy in my current job working with them!This could all read a lot better than I have written it as I sound very stiff but at the moment it is the best I can do! :-)

I am easy going and spontaineous. I enjoy martial arts, bicycling, swimming and running. I also like the beach, reading and all kinds music.

I lived for 11 years in the United States, in Cambridge, and I spent some time in Newcastle Upon Tyne, England. I`m a runner, a hobby guitar player and singer as well, and working as a representative for a software Canadian firm in Brazil for about 10 years.I am here because most of the time its not so easy to randonly find a person who shares the same thoughts as you regarding these topics: vegetarianism, veganism, the right of the animals to share the same space we live in on Earth, and the beauty of the skyes, the passion for our home nature and contemplate all natural wonders and the beauty of our planet.Also, I have a piece of land where I have the pleasure to grow, many trees, flowers, and still have within this land lots of running water, where I feel that I`m doing my most in order to preserve that for many years to come.Cooking is one of my favorite things, making the pizza dough, preparing the ingredients and cooking it.Generally, I dont take any medicine. I let my body heel naturally when injuries from the stress of running takes over. Generally I run 18km every other day, as well go to the gym

Though I have never been married, I was in my last relationship for 12 years. I have spent all of my adult life in sales, but most of it was management. On a personal or note, I live in town but have enough land to have a dozen fruit trees, bees, grapes, berries and more than enough grass to mow.

I am a Christian. I love nature. I have a sense of humor.

I love sports, music, art. I consider my self a spiritual person, but also I love science and nature. I have several hobbies but that something to talk it over a coffee or tea :)

Nice looking faces on here but so many miles away. I'm not rooted in Yorkshire though. Looking to change career and applying for posts, generally further south. I lived in North Wales for several years and rural Wales would be such an easy decision if only the right job turned up. There's the problem? Mountain goats don't get paid much. I don't need much but I can't retire outright just yet.I think I'm quite unconventional. I'm learning to play rock piano. Doing okay at it too although I'm no Rick Wakeman just yet. I prefer to be outdoors when the weather's right. I like to travel off the tourist trail when I go on holiday. Albania/Montenegro/Bosnia - places like that. I'm not big on flying. Perhaps it's the Capricorn in me, I don't know. For me the less time in the air the better, although being up there is obviously preferable to plummeting back down like a dart. So anyway, short flights really. I discovered overnight trains in Europe although I haven't traveled for a few years now because I had a gorgeous cat to look after. I miss her very much, but c'est la vie. Now I can travel again. I like sailing but I'm rubbish at it. If I ever move to the coast again I'll buy another yacht and get some proper tuition this time around.My neighbours appear to consider me to be sane although possibly they may think me a little eccentric. I wouldn't be too surprised, I think I am a little bit 'off the wall' but not in a bad way. I'm not really a fan of TV as a rule. A little bit here or there but I'd usually rather find something interesting to do. I adore animals, I'd probably even find a soft spot for a bengal tiger. Well, on TV, which I hate apparently - I like good nature documentaries. What else? List of faults, those I'm aware of - ha! I have a genuine reason to be single. I've been reading some cynical profiles regarding single males, how all the decent ones are taken leaving the, you know. I've generally had long term relationships but never been married and I've no children. Perhaps it felt too conventional, I don't know. Just didn't happen anyway.I'm not perfect but I'm very considerate and I have a lot about me. I work, own my house outright and I have no debts. I like living a fairly simple kind of life and I'm not into taking myself too seriously.A common interest or two would be useful if we're going to get past chatting over coffee. Chatting over coffee is okay too, but proper coffee please.

Music, art, books, and film are what I care most about.I studied English Lit in college. I am a self-employed carpenter.

I focus a lot on nutrition and healthy living. Mind and body. I live in a place with 4 seasons, and about 5 months of the year it is quite cold. So I get outside during the warmer months daily to soak up the fresh air and sunlight. Dabble in creating music and art. Enjoy learning new things, need to travel more, but I have an open heart and mind for what is out there, and what comes next. The world is what we make it.

I've been living as single mother for some years without any need or feeling that something's missing. But lately I notice that it would be nice to share more than the every day social relationships with someone else. I have read in several profiles here that men look for "someone without a package of the past" - I have no idea how that should work, I am rather a product of my past, in good and bad sense.It was much easier in the past to fit into social groups, I was a happy hippie and a happy street activist, a not so happy student, a happy biker, a happy freelancer in the medical field. But with the years and especially going vegan 8 years ago I find it more and more difficult to feel a part of the people around me. There is still a hippie in me who doesn't pay much attention to style and look as most people around do. There is the activist in me who does not think that pacifism would be the only option as most people do. There is the biker in me who feels sympathy for the "sons of anarchy" as little people do. There is the mother in me who attends parents group meetings and bakes cakes for the school events, as many people do, but that's not where I'd feel at home.I live with my child, moving or moving together is no option for the next couple of years. Nevertheless I would love to love and be loved, like most people, I guess. As I saw, most people here are from the US, which is where I want and intend to move within a reasonable time. Not an easy base to start, but I 'd like to try and find out.

I immigrated to this country from Jamaica when I was 13 year of age, I grew up in Pennsylvania attended Jr college in 1973, and that was the time I started to change my eating lifestyle.
I am honest , thoughtful, caring and a good listener. My values center around kindness and compassion and leaving this a better world. I am happy being home with my partner just doing things together at the house , or out walking holding hands or listening to music at home or in the car traveling . I keep fit by walking weather it's around a track , in the park ,on the beaches or hiking in the woods. I also enjoy reading, movies , helping others, traveling. The most important thing is just being together and doing things together and just enjoy each others company.

I'm a nature lover, love to walk in the woods or along the beach and I feel quite at ease when I am surrounded by nature. I'm planning on taking diving lessons and I would love to do it with someone experienced and patient.... I love travelling but I feel I've not travelled enough.... this world is so beautiful! So much to see, so little time....I am resilient and always try to see the good side of things. In Spanish we say "if life throws lemons at you, let's just make a lemonade!", so, I just like to think positive, get up, and keep on going with a big smile :-)I can be quite happy at home, getting into my PJs right after work specially when it's cold but I also love travelling and going out with friends to see live music or the movies or a nice restaurant, or exploring new places, new experiences....I love going to the gym which for me is a sort of sanctuary where I push myself to do more, enjoy the effort and get those endorphins flowing! And yes, I love that as a bonus I get really fit doing something I love! Working out and keeping a plant based diet go hand in hand both are part of a a healthy, compassionate and environmentally friendly life style.I'm an expat currently located in Hong Kong but I'm looking to relocate and grow roots somewhere I'd like to call home.

When I was a redwood logger I lived in the woods in a tipi; I have been a military scientist for the army at the US Army Electronic Proving Grounds, and for the US Air Force for the Site Activation Task Air Force; a redwood logger; a violinist; an experimental brain surgeon (and that's a long story); an ultra-runner, a college professor; and a clinical psychologist. Now that I am retired, I create museum quality musical instruments that are a hybrid combination of lute and guitar. Check out the attached photo! My reading is extensive and tends to be mostly biographical/political/historical.

I'm single, funny guy, work in construction and I want to meet new people

I like metal, gaming and intellectual talks

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.

American expat, gardener, cyclist, dreamer.
I'm also healthy (fitter and more active than most my age), adventurous, imaginative and left of center. I'm finding my community here in Melbourne, and figuring out how best to do more favorite things more often. A companion would be nice.I can be a lot of fun when I'm with someone else who is curious, unconventional, and likes to explore. I am good at conversation, though a friend recently told me that tact is not my forte. I also have a good sense of rhythm and of vocal pitch and I enjoy singing and dancing. I'm good at gardening, cooking, and body surfing, discussing film, and discussing most things. I think I'm also good at go-cart racing, and I have a talent for cat massage. I like to read and to discuss books at book clubs, and like though provoking films and the discussion that hopefully follows.Some books I've enjoyed and remember are Attwood's Alias Grace, Tom Wolfe's Electric Kool-Aid Acid Test, John Irving's Hotel New Hampshire and The World According to Garp, and non fiction on the topic of neuroscience and brain plasticity.Movies: Whiplash - this is one of my favorites of all time; The Ice Storm.... Family drama about a wealthy Connecticut family, and twisted fate; The Shawshank Redemption; American Beauty (and anything with Kevin Spacey); Lost in Translation (ditto Bill Murray); Memento - great mystery thriller, Proof,
One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest, Dead Poet's Society, Wings of Desire, Far Away So Close, Paris Texas. A favorite genre: films that seem dark at first but then become illuminating.Music: Blues, Rags and Hollers - Koerner, Ray and Glover, Daft Punk, Prince, Of Monsters and Men, Mumford and Sons, William Orbit, Madonna, John Renbourn, Bon Iver, Leo Kotke, Ledbelly, the funk genre, Gotye, Edward Sharpe, Queen....my favorites change and I easily change my mind. I like music that makes me want to move (funk) or surprises me with its beauty, or makes me feel joyful, or brings back strong memory of a good moment or happy time.Shows: West Wing, Good Wife, House of Cards, House, Transparent, In Treatment, Utopia, though I don't have a TV.I also love travel but don't do it often enough. My last trip was to Thailand.Swimming in the surf makes me come alive.

Quite lucky to live in Victoria since 2015 as it allows me to merge with the ocean and feed myself directly from Mother Earth.Being vegan (yes, it is a deal breaker if you are not), I cook mostly from scratch using locally grown organic produce whenever possible. Gluten free, no sugar and mainly raw.I am currently building my book of business and my first career was a professional classical and modern ballet dancer so I still need to include some dancing in my life and I mainly love to tango.
Planning on finishing my commercial pilot license because I would love to volunteer with Pilots'n Paws to rescue dogs.Healing and self growth are what I mainly focus on, that is why I have studied TCM and did a Kundalini yoga teacher training but I prefer to practice Ashtanga every morning as it makes me sweat and do more of a cardio work as well as balancing my energies. Would like to introduce some tai chi in my daily rituals.Since I am a crunchy mom, I keep electronics away as much as possible, so I will be a bit slow at responding, especially if it is not me who initiated the conversation.INFJ.

Have recently moved back to the beautiful Willamette Valley for many reasons. One of them is that I need to be able to grow at least some of my own food in this beautiful soil (where even a popsickle stick can be stuck into the ground and grow into a tree!)
I live with a beautiful, shy, incredibly smart cat named Grace, who adopted me ten years ago. She's an indoor cat; doesn't get on MY furniture (she has her own) and wouldn't think of sticking her claws into anything but her own scratching post. (Hey, I'm an animal lover, but I love my "stuff" too!)
I am a good cook; love anything having to do with the home; have a full history of travel; have lived outside the US; have high energy; can talk about most subjects with most anyone; clean up well so I won't embarass you, but am NOT the "little black dress" type. Some things I think are far too personal to talk about on sites like this, so, know that I WILL discuss anything honestly when the time is appropriate, but please.....be respectful and polite with your comments. Ok?

I was born in Russia and grew up both in Russia and Ukraine. Two years ago I moved to US. I like the country very much but feel lonely a bit.
If you are interested I'll answer all your questions ))

I love flowers, garden, sport, travel ...

I am a Nature-Lover & Animal-Lover who is looking for a Life Partner to join me in a Healthy Lifestyle, Mindful Conversations, & Engaging Journeys. • If Meditation/Mindfulness are important to your lifestyle, then we may be able to share at least one meaningful conversation together. • If Music, Nature, & Art inspire you deeply, then we may share similar interests. • If holding hands together sounds romantic to you, then we may share a similar dream. • If Empathy, Kindness, & Compassion are central to your values, then we may be very compatible.
• If you love to eat or try delicious plant-based recipes, then I may be your Last First Date :-)

I consider myself to be thoughtful and caring of others. Others say, (and I suppose here I am saying also) that I'm highly intelligent and considered by close friends to be very funny. I'm deeply spiritual and like to relate to others deeply on a spiritual level. I don't think or practice that spiritual like needs to be or should be dull or painful. For me it is joyous. I make musical instruments, write and build. I'm using the musical instruments to make music.I began teaching martial arts at the age of 16 after years of training. Studied dance, joined a small dance company and toured for a while. Worked as a photographer. Many other things going on as well.I do struggle with describing myself. Should I try to be humble and write nothing? Should I write about how great I am and sound like someone who holds an exaggerated opinion of himself? I don't know.I will go very, very far to support friends and I make efforts to support those I've never met.Oh and... I don't seem to grow much hair on my head so I chomp it all down to almost nothing.
I eat simple pure food. Lots of fruit. I don't like to hurt plants so I mostly eat what I believe has wounded as few plants as possible.Always seeking knowledge. Wanting to learn and grow constantly.I am profoundly faithful. There's more of course... happy to tell if you're interested.If anyone is interested I have more photos. I might put some up on the profile soon.
