I live in London in an international vegan houseshare in Hackney.
I was married in my twenties for five years, no children, and we eventually separated because, as our counsellor said, "you both want such different things." I then moved to Europe and travelled a lot for years, changing career from software engineer in multinationals to vegan writer and promoter working in various organisations and through my own vegan publishing company. I returned to London as it's the best place to be vegan and it's so multicultural, I feel really at home here, especially around Hackney and Shoreditch and in the centre. My housemates are French, Italian and Finnish, and by sharing the house I keep my overheads very low which makes it easy to travel and not have to spend half my income on accommodation.
Things I like to do: travel (been to many countries around the world),
watching movies, and cult tv like Star Trek or Criminal Minds,
lying in parks with a book or going to cafes,
sandy beaches,
massage (I took some classes),
making or going to dinners,
meditation (TM, raja yoga, zen),
yoga, pilates,
martial arts (mainly karate),
chess (I play in the London League),
learning languages (I'm bilingual in French, good in Italian and Russian, can get by in Spanish and Portuguese, and have enough of a few others to get around in those countries),
Oriental religions and philosophy,
psychology and personal growth,
modern and ancient history,
natural history,
all kinds of music except rap.
I changed career from programming to doing something I believe in to make the world a better place. My work is getting busier and busier because of the vegan explosion in London, which is fabulous.
But sometimes it's nice to just "do nothing", relax in the park or with a book or kindle, go to Paris for a few days, and I would love to "do nothing" with someone else.

I have a youthful appearance and attitude--photos are recent. Friends and family are important in my life. Some of my interests are to enjoy the outdoors, keeping physically fit, enjoy yoga, horseback riding, walking along the beach, bike riding, going to see a good movie to name a few. Some of my favorite times are spend getting together with friends, traveling, going to local events and activities, exploring a new place in town or trying something new. I am an optomist...honest and sincere, pretty easygoing, but I have been known to stand on principle. I can be adventurous, but won't be jumping out of any airplanes!

I'm a private and introverted person. I prefer to spend my time alone, with family or small groups of close friends. Not into larger social gatherings. I live a fairly modest life. I don't appreciate (economic) materialism, fame or snobbery. I am not remotely interested in impressing others...except for lovely vegan girls. :)
Although I did quite technical and profitable work in the past, I now work a menial job that pays the bills, spend more time with family and study a subject which is of great interest to me. Basically, I don't let others dictate to me what is important in life and how one attains success and respect. I can decide for myself.
I enjoy reading (philosophy, fiction), watching films (drama, art house, documentaries), solving puzzles and listening to music. I love rock music (Pink Floyd, Queen, Yes, Muse), metal and classical. I appreciate most styles other than pop, rap, electronica, country and opera. I loathe television!

Being a vegan has not been easy for me, and that's a dramatic understatement. My family was not accepting or understanding when I decided to adopt a vegan diet, and it's had lasting effects.
When I first began eliminating foods from my diet, my parents didn't know what to make of it. They thought I was crazy, and reacted with fear and hostility. They took me to psychiatrists who tried to discourage me from going vegan; I was banned from eating at the dinner table with my parents (I could only eat after my father was in bed); and other family members refused to speak/associate with me, afraid that my vegan "insanity" was contagious and they might catch it.
Perhaps worst of all, my parents, especially my mother, began controlling all aspects of my life. My mother has always been a "smother-mother," or "helicopter-mom" but after I finished high school and became a vegan, it became exponentially worse. She now controls about everything in my life, and it's absolutely suffocating. I'm not allowed to do anything or go anywhere without her permission.
But she thinks it's for my own good; that she's protecting me. She thinks, if left on my own, I'd never make it. That the world would eat me alive. Which is why I'm reaching out here: to try to connect with other vegans, hopefully find a soulmate, and escape from the unhealthy and soul-crushing authority of my parents.
And of course, I'm not perfect (that doesn't mean I stray from my veganism, which is incredibly important to me). I have flaws, and I want to be honest about them. I think it's only fair to any potential partner. I have depression (largely from the way people have treated me over the years, but it also runs in my family), as well as Obsessive Compulsive Disorder, which is an anxiety disorder (if you've ever watched the show "Monk," you might be familiar with it).
But that doesn't mean I'm not still a good person. I'm an introvert, sensitive, quiet, patient, and a good listener. I'm very low-key, and a home-body (yet in my current situation, I'm very lonely).
I'm trying to be a writer (short stories, novels, graphic novels, poetry), and am very much the artistic/intellectual type. I wanted to be an actor, but my parents forbade it. I also used to paint/draw, but my parents took away my art supplies, and now I just don't have the time anymore. I haven't had much luck in publishing, other than letters to the editor and a few online articles for an animal rights group.

I'm trying to lead a relatively simple, uncluttered, rewarding life, with an emphasis on striving for personal growth, doing no harm, and making the world a better place. I've been an ethical vegan for 10 years now, and there's no turning back on that. It's the best decision I've ever made.
I highly value compassion, honesty, integrity, and creativity. Things I particularly love include the outdoors, animals, and culture.
I work for a large nonprofit dedicated to animal welfare. My job is fairly intense, and when I'm not working, I like to enjoy my time in the outdoors (hiking, cycling, watching birds, etc.) or watching films, listening to music, playing standards on my electric piano, or reading.
I love to travel, too, (at least I did before the pandemic) and have been to Europe (many times), Costa Rica, Thailand, Japan, and Hawaii. I am not at all religious, but I have a longstanding interest in Buddhism as both philosophy and practice.
One of my nephews recently wrote this to me: "Values really should drive our actions in life, and you have been far more active in implementing that philosophy than anyone else I have met."

I am a fun loving girl that tries to enjoy life without harming others. I like doing just about anything as long as the company is good.
I travel a lot in my job so it makes dating hard but I'm looking for a job that doesn't require travel.
I would like to find the love of my life. I would do anything for love, including relocating so distance is not a barrier though it would take longer to get to know someone that I don't see often. . I am very loyal, faithful, dependable, honest, trustworthy, and most of all I am FUN!!! I don't mind staying at home but it's nice to go out and do things too. We can have fun doing simple things OR extravagant things. It's all about who you are with, not where you are at.
I am not materialistic. I care more about how you treat me, and others.
I like travel and would like to do more of it, especially the Caribbean.
I don't like pressure or expectations. I would like to find someone that would be happy to go out and do things together and let nature and chemistry do the rest.. Becoming best friends is the most important part of a great relationship. .
I have a great sense of humor and love to laugh and I hope you do too. Life is too short not to laugh and have fun with it.
I am spiritual but not religious. It'ss all in how you treat people, animals, and our world.
Sports....I'm not really into sports except a little football, but I love tailgating.
Politically I am right of center. I am very open minded politically and can see good and bad on both sides. I am actually a conservative but I don't always agree with their point of view either. What I don't like is criticizing people that are different or believe differently. It's all about respect and comprise. I believe in gay rights and gun rights so.... please... don't try to put me into a box.
Without honesty, we have nothing that is real, so please, Keep It Real!!
Thank you for reading my profile. I am looking forward to the possibilities.

Looking for a co-captain of my team! I view life as an adventure with new beauty and surprises every day. Would you like to join me on the journey? It's more fun together.
I shun conventional rules and expectations & I value my freedom and creativity, which is why I'm self-employed. I used to work in non-profit and even had a brief primatology stint studying monkeys in the Venezuelan rainforest.
Travel's a favorite pastime, especially to see wildlife in nature and snorkel spots. I've lost track of how many countries I've visited and still have a lot of places on my "list". I've lived in Israel, Venezuela, Canada, New York, California, South Carolina. I exercise daily. Swimming, walking, or running. You can see me with my doggie, in two of the photos. Open to moving almost anywhere in the world for the right person, but need to live by the ocean and have warm weather.

I'm discoverer, creator, fairytale. In short :) I'm very honest . And I need honesty from the other.
I'm guided similar focus - "be the change what you want to see in the world". IN EVERYDAY CHOICES. As with every little choice I create/add/confirm something to the world and I really care what do I do and what my way of being is promoting, encouraging for others as well. I'm learning to notice more and more myself and around me, so I my sight can grow widert and integrate into my actions.
I'm serious and I'm not afraid to notice anything.I also value joy, laughter, happiness. Sometimes it's challenging to do both when to see harmful actions very close. Yet, I'm searching the way (+trough idea/project at work), to see, admit and be proactive about reducing/ending harmfulactions in the world, while feeling compassion and in the same time expressing the joy the fullest and freely, with lots of laughter, joyful freedom, creativity and mission/meaningfulness.
I love persons' eyes and see trough eyes to very far place ..
I like to touch souls. And I like to be touched. The sparkle of being cared is so beautiful.
I'm very practical about love, I need love, care in actions. Theoretical/philosophical sense of love and little bit love in actions is boring and dry for me.
Music I feel strongly related with my future.Don't know yet exactly how. I love honest, sincerer singing or honest self expressing. I need to learn singing a lot :) and I have studied voice therapy so far.
I love painting and little bit also other forms of art. I just love colors and see them forming, playing with colors and connect with wisdoms within. Have done art projects, next need to focus on presenting.
Professionally I like integrity, Strategic management has been important profession and education for me. Moving towards arts (2nd degree in educational art and creative education), the core points are the same: sense of mission, creating a difference inside and outside.

Petite, quiet, sensitive, caring, loving, witty, enjoy camping, travelling, crafts, textiles, arts and love animals. Would love to sell up and go travelling around the world in a VW camper van..........One day maybe!
I work in a high school teaching textiles which I enjoy but it can be challenging some of the time. I'm not one for clubbing and would much prefer going out for a meal and an odd drink or staying in with candles lit, watching a dvd or listening to music, curled up on the sofa with the open fire blazing giving off a warm glow.
I enjoy visiting different parts of the uk and other countries to learn about their history and new cultures, would much prefer that than sat by a pool all day sunbathing (that in my eyes is so mind numbing!)

I’m a funny, playful, positive, creative, spiritual, kind, empathetic, warm, honest, healthy, Jewish organic vegan. My friends describe me as a socially and environmentally conscious mensch who is a great communicator, highly evolved and committed to personal growth.
I’m a successful sustainability leader, author and business owner with a sustainability consulting firm and start-up creating a global community of abundant health, sustainability and kindness. I’ve served as a White House and Congressional aide, Wall Street broker assistant, Cargill grain merchant, British assembly line worker, Boston Cab driver and co-founder of the Sacramento Community Garden Program and Alliance for Sustainability.
I have a beautiful, zen-influenced home overlooking a quiet pond and a magnificent Japanese Garden. I live in St. Louis Park, a progressive community (first suburb west of Minneapolis), a 10 min. drive or 20 min. bike ride to Downtown on the beautiful regional bike trail.
I love to eat and cook organic, vegan food from all over the world. My daily routine includes meditation, exercise and yoga, bike riding or x-country skiing with my dog Teddy, playing sports with my sons, and watching the PBS News Hour and Stephen Colbert. I’m involved in various community organizations and progressive politics.
I’m deeply spiritual and was raised as a Reform Jew, which I’ve continued along with being a leader of the Jewish Renewal Community and Jewish and interfaith environmental efforts.
I had a wonderful 14 year marriage and then my wife fell in love with a woman who was a mutual friend. After extensive individual and joint counseling for more than a year my wife decided she is gay (her term). We had a very loving, conscious uncoupling divorce (Oct 3, 2018) and are co-parenting our four fabulous children, a 26-year old daughter (in grad school for Piano Performance) and three sons 20 (College), 17 (Senior at StatecArts School) and 13 (7th grade). All the boys also play piano and were or are in the MN Boychoir so I am blessed with lots of great music.

I love to laugh, tease and have fun. I can be very playful, outrageous and silly or serious at times. I am used to getting what I want. I’m looking for a woman who is used to the same.
I am a driving instructor (more accurate driving coach). I love that I’m helping make the roads safer and what a woman who feels she help others in some way, be it their health, happiness or safety. I think it’s important to always be aiming to be the best you can, and therefore I love reading self improvement books.
I am passionate about dancing, and regularly go to dances. I love playing in the snow on skies, walking especially in hilly or mountainous county, or just enjoying the wonder and beauty of nature.
I enjoy travelling especially to other countries and observing the different cultures and ways of life. Out of all the places I visited my favourite was Kathmandu Nepal. Touring to and around Wales on a bicycle was a great fun challenge.
