Healthy, stable, intelligent, active vegan on a most excellent journey in this life.
Took me a long time to get here, but feel very lucky to be here now that I am.

Always looking to improve, learn, explore, and hoping to find a good mate, to share this wondrous journey.
I want to be a more positive force in this life, with my partner.

Very passionate about cycling, riding 6,000-8,000 miles a year, spring, summer, fall, winter........love spending 3 or 4 hours in the saddle!

Cancelled my cable TV subscription years ago,(don't miss it!),but still enjoy good movies documentaries......as well as good books/music.

Recently started yoga and meditation, and have found it to be very powerful....wish I had started a long time ago

I've been blessed to have lived/traveled all over the world, Phoenix, Aspen, New Mexico, California. Oregon, New York, Arkansas, Louisiana Florida, Hawaii, Puerto Rico, Cayman Islands, Mexico, Canada, England, Scotland, Australia, New Zealand, British Columbia and have found it to be one of the most valuable learning lessons of my life.
Made so many wonderful friends, and amazing memories along the way.

I recently spent a few weeks camping/hiking in southern Oregon, and British Columbia, and absolutely fell in love with these places!
Slept under the stars every night.....miss that already.

Retired adventurer! Looking for more adventure at a relaxed pace.
I have traveled to 40+ countries by foot, train. plane, bus, boat, car and motorcycle. Never a plan but always an adventure. Of all the places I've been, the Galapagos would have to be my favorite - not because of the scenery (which is pretty good) but because of the animals. They were not afraid of people and being able to be inches away from a sea lion, a pair of nesting blue footed boobies, a marine iguana, a penguin, a frigate bird was amazing..... small birds would actually land on my head totally without fear. Pretty cool.

My income as a nurse practitioner allows me to fund my life mission, a nonprofit therapeutic equine and outdoor program that provides services for children, adults and Veterans with challenges. I value good friends, travel, dancing, outdoor activities and real estate development.

Iam a fun loving guy, i love to cook, work in the yard, drive, travel occassionally, watch TV...more later

I work in the environmental field. I believe in questioning all things & seeing the beauty of life. I love outdoor activities; camping, hiking and feel the need to live near the ocean (which ocean is up for grabs). I love to cook & have been told I'm a good cook even by hardcore carnivores. I try to find the humor of life and share it will others. Innately giving, affectionate and in search of the same in return. And I have a bad case of the travel bug.

I’ve dabbled in all aspects of left leaning granola crunching protests, animal rights actions and antiwar rally road trips. Albeit a lightweight in terms of my success, I have a quiet hippie soul with an overt conscious capitalist outer façade & life mission. I'm fairly stubborn but love to discuss & argue my points passionately (I have Latin lineage, can be loud & my hands do a lot of talking). I'm gently sarcastic, but typically not overly obnoxious. Sometimes I become obsessed with learning about projects, educating myself and lose a lot of time going down rabbit holes in search of answers, normally regarding business projects. I’m tenacious for those things that I truly want to seek out, but can easily let go & walk away if I become disinterested, bored or feel a disconnect. My normal disposition is to work vigorously if I feel a mutual support or find a sense of accomplishment in a task. I can be overly verbose, easily excited about politics, veganism, new business projects & especially my daughter! I can go off on tangents in a myriad of directions but can also be myopic, laser focused & diligently driven – I fall somewhere between those two diametric gulfs. I believe I’m open to constantly learning & growing in all aspects of life. At the same time, I can hold a grudge or resent serious aggressions. I can let small things go, but I’m certainly not enlightened like Gandhi or the Buddha – albeit I strive, I don’t seek perfection just comfortable solutions. I can be extremely empathic but have little tolerance for constant self-pity & weakness. I believe there are times in our lives when EVERYONE needs a helping hand, a kind listening heart but also feel grounded in my belief of pulling up your bootstraps and getting back in the game. Dusting off the dirt and trying to make the best lemonade from the sour fruit that you deserved, settled for or ended up with. I believe that if you have your health you should use it to bring about the most positive change for you & those around you. I’ve never been a drinker, socially or otherwise. I’ve never smoked & can’t stand the smell. I have LOTS of interest these days in (other than my beautiful daughter) – everything NZ, RE development, RE investing, green stocks, building science, business opportunities, hiking, trails, cooking, ecological advancements.. In a self-acknowledged contradiction, I love everything about Disney & can be a big kid running around Orlando (albeit I suffer from motion sickness).

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.

Happy person. Love fruit/spicy foods. Like to travel - specially to tropical places.

I'm interested in getting to know someone as friends and see where it goes. I'm in no hurry! 😁

Outside of fitness and outdoor activities,I enjoy the adventure of Vegan cooking. Likes include movies,music,great conversation,random acts of kindness, nature, just relaxing at home .

I'm Ken with the VeggieConnection.com Customer Care team.

I am looking for a partner
A true partner...where we SEE each other

Everything that came before is gone & yet not gone....and leading up to THIS!
I am not demanding, and live a simple life, yet have big aspirations....wanna help seem them to fruition?

I DO try to make the world a better place. I serve on the Democratic Committee proudly representing election district #4 in Beautiful Gardiner, NY, .....next to New Paltz. Gardiner was not a choice in the drop down menu.
Gardiner is a lovely, scenic place to live, and recreate)(re create), with Mohonk and Minnewaska parks. Great restaurants, wonderful arts, and a vibrant progressive community.

And perhaps I am unreasonable, but I want to find a happy, light-hearted, deep, intelligent, creative woman who can love my kids with me, and love me, for who I am, being equally loved in return, and we can ride the tides of time to the end of the line....But, I have found that the best things can often be beyond reason. And Love online search engines.

We are just waiting for you! I hope you find me!

And...they say that age is just a number.....I plan on BUSTING through 100, so be prepared to have me for 50 years!

I write songs and poetry.....and would love to support your creative endeavors.

WHY DID THE CHICKEN CROSS THE ROAD???....You have to message me to find out!

I do tend to stay home mostly, which I enjoy very much. Social outings are fine if the company is good. I am not materialistic, do not wear makeup or am much of a "consumer." That being said I do own a comfortable home with a little property.

Movies/shows/documentaries, walking/hiking and interesting conversations are a few things I enjoy doing. Most often I am found at home because my property has become a mini-sanctuary for several species of birds. Plus I share my home with several rescued cats, all of whom are fosters. I enjoy growing vegetables and fruit too. Very satisfying!

Good conversation is something I truly enjoy. Sadly, it is very difficult to find. I enjoy an exchange of ideas and sharing of philosophies, but people are too sensitive these days and are too easily offended to talk to if our positions differ, especially where I live as an atheist and vegan. I value rational thought and integrity very much.

Spending my time outside with my sanctuary residents and garden is fantastic. Plus it is so beautiful here and the weather is great. All of that being said, I have been taking in fewer rescues over the past few years in an effort to decrease the number in my sanctuary. I want my life to include more freedom and to save more money for my future. The plans for my future include travel to other sanctuaries and conferences. My efforts for animals will change to temporary fostering and transport to allow for this. I am also retired, but that could change if a great job came along or I really needed the money.
My serious side also involves maintaining my health. I earned my living as a pharmacist, but I am actually more of an anti-pharmacist. Prevention and acquiring good habits are the keys to a vital and long life. I worked in hospitals and know that western medicine plays an important role as well.

I take care to make environmentally-friendly choices when I shop and follow reduce/reuse/recycle as much as I can.

I was raised in Brooklyn, NY, lived in NJ and am now living in NM since 2004. The natural open spaces in NM are wonderful to me, but I also appreciate what cities have to offer at times.

Having a partner and a relationship where we really like and know each other, share our thoughts and ideas, care for one another and spend time being silly together would be wonderful!

I m trying to go from my heart and be honest in everything what I do. I’m a raw chef, a wellness coach.

I love nature and appreciate art and good books. I am an out door person, likes hiking, long walks, camping and love ocean/sea as well as I am in-door person; reading, practicing yoga, cooking, enjoying documentaries/movies of certain directors etc.

I'm a kinder special education teacher. I like to joke a lot and about anything. I like to exercise in my free time.

Hello fellow vegans! I became veggie for the animals over fifty years ago. Before Covid, I was a peaceful warrior for the animals, on the street, and essentially my life purpose is as a dedicated animal liberation activist, and to inspire Universal Oneness for all beings. I was on this site several months ago, and soon became overwhelmed. I've never done anything like this before, have been married for decades, and was not yet ready. However, from my last experience, please be vegan, (including raw vegan) only--unless you have a powerful intent to become vegan. Vegetarian is not the same as vegan. It's a journey, I understand that, but no exploitation of animals of any kind is desirable to me. I'm the Publisher/Founder of a vegan online e-magazine, and the Founder/Host of a radio show that interviews vegans, and features a vegan musician as well. I'm also an Author/Screenwriter.

Spirituality, but not religion, (I do celebrate Jewish holidays) is very important to me, as is physical exercise. I like to be young, fit, and attractive, do not look my age, and desire that in a future romantic relationship. I am visually impaired, but do not wear glasses, except to do my computer work (and l love audio books) and would prefer the same no-glasses in another. I love to be looked in the eyes, to be "seen" soul-wise and physically, and I want to do the same for another. I'm an empath and very sensitive. A like-minded soul would be a gift. Thank you so much. I wish you all pure love in your lives. That's what I'm seeking!

I am simple, nerdy, humorous and an introverted guy. I practice moderation with everything in my life good and bad, and believe life is a gift not to be wasted. I collect as many experiences as I can in life and value the time a person spends with me more than money.

I am compelled to be a part of nature on a daily basis. Since I have a small, 18.5 acre farm, nature is a few feet outside my farmhouse. My horses, dogs and cats keep me connected to the basics of life. As a writer and fine artist, I like to create something every day. When at my leisure in the evening, I like to read, watch movies or go hiking with my dogs or horses. I have two day jobs: fraud investigator and mortgage loan underwriter and am currently studying for my second Master's degree in creative writing.
In addition to caring for my animals, I dabble in growing vegetables. Currently I have two asparagus raised beds and blueberry bushes. Since most of my organic vegetables are delivered weekly by Misfit Markets, dabbling in growing vegetables doesn't take as much time. But I am interested in permaculture and hope to make the acreage surrounding my home a food forest.
My life has not changed much with the pandemic as I have worked from home for years and go camping with my animals for most of my vacations. Although there are some yoga retreats I would like to try.
I enjoy peace in relationships, avoid toxic, intolerant people and enjoy meditation. My pick me ups are comedy (movies or stand up), great books, trying to play and sing along to my favorite songs on my keyboard, or throwing a ball for my very eager dogs, one of which thinks I should throw the ball whenever I am mowing my lawn with my push mower. For some reason, he always thinks I have nothing to do when engaged in that activity. I do not have TV service at my home and use the internet to watch a few favorite shows. Since I rarely listen to the radio, my news is always a day old.
Pre-pandemic, I enjoyed having friends visit for the weekend so that we could spend our evenings sitting on my front porch, watching the sunset and either sit in silence, listen to music or discuss whatever is on our minds. Right now I sit on my front porch with my dogs and cats to meditate, write or watch the egret dance with the cattle in the pasture across the road.

I work at NASA writing software for satellites and similar stuff. I'm vegetarian and don't drink or smoke. I don't have kids and would prefer to find someone who either doesn't have kids or they are grown and "launched" or "almost launched". I love movies (Sci-Fi / Fantasy / Action / Adventure). I love 80s music (New Wave, etc.). I need time to meditate daily. Spirituality is very important to me. I'm also pretty athletic -- played varsity tennis in college. I tend to be good at most sports.. also enjoy hiking, a little running, some lifting and walking.

What was the reason for turning vegan?

“My dad was having problems with high blood pressure, so I went on a plant based diet with him to support him. We got into it together and have never looked back.”

What does world Vegan day mean to you and is there a way you celebrate it?

“I will hopefully eat with some of my good friends and share the gratitude that I have for my life as a vegan.”

How has being vegan helped to improve your lifestyle?

“I have lost weight and have become more mindful of the nutritional value of my food. I have gained much more compassion for other animals as well as my fellow man. It is a lifestyle of compassion. I am eternally grateful for the opportunity to choose Veganism in a world where for most this is not the norm.”

Do you cook any vegan food, if so what are some of your favourites to cook?

“I love to cook. One of my favourites to cook is an oatmeal fruit bowl for breakfast. All you need is a variety of fresh fruits and some oatmeal. Add in some walnuts, fresh ginger, basil and flax seed and you have the breakfast of champions. I also love to make a fresh tomato sandwich using organic tomatoes and add some avocado slices with some fresh spinach over bread spread with vegan mayonnaise.”

Any advice to anyone who is considering going vegan?

“For any prospective vegans, I would say watch the documentary; Forks Over Knives. Also, I would suggest becoming vegetarian first and then one day wean yourself off the dairy and eggs and you will be vegan. Have fun with it and make it a personal challenge to see if you can do it.”

Healthy, intelligent, happy, honest, spiritual, loving and lovable. I do Travel a lot because of my unusual career I restore old barns all over the United states. This allows me the opportunity to meet people from just about any back ground you can imagine.

I enjoy cooking, coffee, relaxing music, cryptocurrency, nonfiction, working as a nurse (I work in acute care and routinely take care of covid patients, PLEASE get vaccinated if you haven't. ALL of the unvaccinated patients I've taken care of wish they had been, it's worth noting 99% of covid deaths are among the unvaccinated- steps off soap box), hikes in nature.

I was vegetarian for about 5 year before becoming vegan. It sure would be nice to have best friend and partner to share this lifestyle with. Sharing the quite times and the fun adventures (big and little). I can be quiet until I get to know a person or situation better but do enjoy a good humor and good conversation (both light or serious). I enjoy going to concerts, book stores, museums, Starbucks and the like. Usually tea over coffee for me. House flipping and DIY shows, (Need a partner to hand you tools for a DIY project? I could help you there) going to the Tour Of homes, good conversations, naps, sleeping in or getting up early to go on a road trip, exploring new places, driving around listening to good music, a farmers market, good movies, seeing live theater, art, music and vegan festivals, apple and pumpkin patches. Going to see the christmas lights and the renaissance fest (in costume is the best). I appreciate sweet, PDA. To me it is an important way to stay connected. I appreciate old fashion chivalry. Really for me, I think if you are with a person you like even a trip to Menard's (or home depot) can be fun. Actually, I enjoy Menard's and home depot even by myself so maybe I should have said Walmart, but you get the point. Together is better. I would like to have a best friend and partner to do life with.
