I’m a retired college professor, artist, and author looking for a compatible travel companion. I enjoyed 30 wonderful years with my wife who passed from cancer in 2019. Before she passed, she encouraged me to find a vegan travel partner. I've found fulfilling relationships, but still looking for a suitable travel partner.
I love gardening, writing, massage, cooking, and travel. Some of my favorite outings include gardens (especially in Maui!), live theater, theme parks, museums, and art shows. My mornings start out with some meditation, breathing exercises, Qi Gong, then a workout. I love creating things, whether it be digital or something eye-catching for the garden. I have a Master of Arts degree in Mathematics and one in Educational Technology. I fully retired from teaching in 2020. I’m the author of 12 books and manuals, mostly on computer-related topics.
I spend a lot of my time improving my garden when not out and about. It's a tranquil retreat with plenty of fruit trees, garden beds, and a hydroponic tower. There is also a tea house, a flowing stream, and plenty of seating areas.
I am passionate about promoting a plant-strong lifestyle through writing, hosting pot lucks, and networking. I discovered this way of eating in 2012, and it has given me a new lease on my health. I believe strongly that our society needs to move in that direction if we are to cure our chronic diseases, protect our environment, and reduce animal suffering.
Now that Covid has eased up, I’m looking forward to finding a compatible traveling companion with similar eating style.

I am a relatively down to earth and peaceful person. I am a yoga teacher and I love cooking whole food plant-based foods. I am a relatively sensitive person. I enjoy strolls in nature and organic gardening. I’m interested in meeting a like-minded friend and potential partner, for positive and life nourishing activities.

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.

Intelligent, creative, down-to-earth, witty, open-minded (yet having definite opinions), athletic, in shape, honest, faithful, non-materialistic, sensitive, affectionate and sensual are some traits that could describe me. I'm pragmatic, yet also idealistic about certain things.
I'm a self-employed professional photographer. Since photography is my hobby as well as my profession
it is a major factor in my life. Let me know if you'd like to see my photography on my website. I'm very interested in computer imaging also.
Snowboarding, skiing, mountain biking, kayaking, skateboarding, and body boarding are among the sports I'm into. I’m always open to trying new ones. I'd much rather go participate in a sport than
watch someone else doing one. I love all kinds of visual arts and like to go to museums and galleries. I like to travel to new places, especially national parks. Gardening, especially with native plants is something that I enjoy. I also have a large number of houseplants.
My daughter was born on 12/12/03.

I'm not exactly sure what to write here... but I'll give it a go...
I'm definitely socially awkward, most probably on the autistic spectrum (self diagnosed).
I'm sober since September 22nd 2019, and intend on keeping it that way for the rest of my life.
I used to be a roadie as well as work at many festivals, you do the math...
I'm pretty sure I've consumed enough alcohol for a few lifetimes...
My main objective/aim is to live off the grid as much as possible, consciously living in harmony with nature and grow organic fruits and vegetables.
Treat mother nature the way she deserves to be treated, we are all a part of this magnificent world and we need to be more conscious, responsible and respectful towards our ecosystem.
Please don't discuss politics with me, for I'm disgusted by most politicians and current world politics in general...
My loyalty is only to this beautiful planet, and not to any specific country. I find Patriotism as a disease that hopefully will be eradicated with time.
It's a damn shame what we are doing to mother nature...
With that said, I'd much rather focus on positive things and love instead of hate and division.
I speak English, Hebrew and German.
Looking forward to meeting my special one, to love and respect each other in harmony with nature.

A student of mystic poetry.and a retired teacher, I currently teach part time. Additionally, I edit books and articles. I love words and languages (wrote and taught a poetry course for elementary school students). Most important in my life are spirituality, meditation, and service (volunteer publicist for several vegfests in the US and UK). Photo is from 2 years ago.

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!

Happy Year of the Horse! Horse sense may solve the world's problems, unlike AI, which, paired with greed, may be the end-all of the world, literally.
Strive to live a simple, nonmaterialistic, meaningful, and purposeful life. I'm a Luddite at heart, reminiscing about the halcyon days when we weren't overdependent on technology. I embrace sechel, not artificial intelligence, and modesty, not social media. 不患莫己知,求为可知也。"Don't fret about not being well-known; instead, strive to be worthy of being known" (Analects, book 4, verse 14). Jewish ideals inform and guide in all aspects of life. These include honesty and evenhandedness, including not saying anything essentially true but meant to mislead, as by controlling the narrative (e.g., in PR, marketing/sales, the media); not hurting people's feelings or saying negative things about them; giving others the benefit of the doubt and the opportunity to do the right thing; having a higher purpose in life, including work; and learning for the sake of learning, including from everyone! But people with similar values come from many paths in life, the ultimate expression of which is being a mensch or, as Confucius termed it, a junzi, someone who sets an example through his or her actions, which speak louder than words.
Enjoy hiking, being in nature, lizard-watching, learning, artistic creativity, and dry and waggish humor (but not sarcasm). Introverted and sometimes lost in thought, but hopefully thoughtful in more ways than one! Look for ways to help others while avoiding self-serving feelings like validation and pride. Adventurous but also risk-averse.
I live in the desert, which teaches humility, not only because we are dwarfed by the majestic mountains and the expansive valleys but also because we are humbled by the miraculous, mind-blowing adaptations that allow life in all its forms to not merely survive but thrive in the most challenging of environments. Nature can be our teacher and help us improve our character traits.
I stopped practicing clinical medicine 30 years ago when it was no longer possible to do so ethically. My magnum opus has been the definitive treatise on Jewish medicine, a moral, integrated philosophy and system of practice, free of self-interest, the cure for the present degenerate system.
And now, for the final course, mon petit chou, my sweet, here is your fortune cookie: 好话不在多,几句成知己。"Good-hearted words need not be many; just a few can make a close friend."

I am fun loving, live in the moment, really nice guy who has learned to enjoy life. This includes keeping a positive attitude in a relationship with a low demand (low maintenance) yet loving approach. Women often tell me that I am nice to be around for extended periods of time. I am kind, considerate, not demanding, and very loving.
My goal in life is to become closer to God, and to help myself and my loved one's be the best-version-of-themselves as we all can be. This is how I define a supportive relationship. In a kind yet disciplined way help support each other physically, emotionally, intellectually, and spiritually to be the best version of ourselves (and our Selves).

Animal welfare/animal rights are extremely important to me. Over the years, I have also rescued and provided hospice care for senior dogs and cats. I'm only interested in men with big hearts full of unconditional love and compassion. I'm a retired journalist (writer and editor) and college instructor.
Spiritual/inner growth is crucial to me. It's all part of the same idea, as experiencing and expressing love and compassion for all beings (including myself) are my focus and goal. I believe in the law of attraction and that we are all here to learn and grow in the Earth School. I'm interested in a variety of metaphysical studies, but being grounded is important to me, as is maintaining a sense of inner peace and gratitude. I'm sensitive to noise and crowds, fragrance and chemical odors, and enjoy a peaceful and fairly quiet lifestyle at this point in my journey. I'm more a homebody than someone interested in travel and wild adventures in the external world. Politically I'm extremely liberal.
Other interests include energy healing, psychology, writing, reading, natural/organic foods and nutrition, environmental issues, arts, nature, volunteering, alternative/holistic healing, walking, meaningful movies, theater, some concerts, inner growth activities, outdoor cafes, and more. Not into camping, backpacking, motorcycles, bars/nightclubs, loud music, frequent socializing, or sports (although I'd enjoy seeing the Yankees win the World Series).
I am sensitive, loyal, perceptive, supportive, intelligent, and very intuitive. Although I want an intimate partnership, I like and need to have some alone time and appreciate someone who might feel the same. I can be witty and humorous, and enjoy that in others.

I'm also here because vegan women outnumber vegan men by about 4:1 (nice job, Ladies), so I want to try to help give those incredible women more romantic options to choose from. An ideal outcome for me would be to connect with one very compatible partner and then devote the rest of our lives to supporting each other as we each work to be the best versions of ourselves.
I'm ready when you are ;) .
If you're vegan, I'm interested, and I'm more interested the longer you've been vegan. That goes for friendship or romance, too.
In addition, I'm also very willing to help support anyone hoping to make the transition to a more vegan lifestyle :). We all have to start somewhere.
Evidence-based vegan, progressively political, into lifestyle medicine, and frugal would be a perfect match.
(My idea of splurging is when I buy sweet potatoes instead of potatoes. However, I would definitely be comfortable splurging a little more for the right person :). The evidence-based, into lifestyle medicine, and progressively political qualities are a lot more firmly established.)
Otherwise, I'm happily single, but I'm always open to having more friends, especially more vegan or vegan-curious friends <3
####
Hobbies include daily exercise (with full body resistance training every other day), consuming content from NPR (especially via KQED Radio) and the PBS Newshour, and pursuing opportunities to help better myself or support the world around me :). Other than that, though, I'm very open to new experiences or activities, too.
Native English speaker and somewhat proficient in Spanish. I'm always up for learning more languages, especially if it helps me communicate with you or your loved ones better.
I was formerly pre-health (medical/dental) and then switched to project management because it has allowed me to continue working with and spending time with my family.
Twenty years from now, when those family opportunities are less prevalent, I'll probably look to go back to school (ideally to study something to help reduce animal and/or environmental exploitation, although hopefully humans are no longer doing that 20 years from now :p) or look into more lucrative professional options (and donate any earnings beyond what I would hope to remain a fairly frugal lifestyle to high-impact charities promoting animal welfare.)
Those plans are definitely flexible, however, especially if that flexibility would help me to better support the happiness of a wonderful vegan partner :)

What you see is what you get, but you also get so much more than appearances suggest! I am comfortable in my own skin. I know and like who I am. Therefore, I have no use for painting my face, prancing around in spiky heels, dressing like a whore, dancing backwards or hanging ornaments on myself like some primitive Christmas Tree. I don't need you to complete me. The right partner is a nice add-on. Likewise, I cannot complete you or make you happy if you're not an already happy person. Can you live with that, or will it make your orbs fall off? If you are secure enough in your own identity that you don't feel a need to boss someone around, if you can respect that we are both busy and you are not my keeper, not my boss, not my patient, not the only person or activity in my life, and you happen to like the Whatyouseeiswhatyouget look, then we just may have a winner. Everyone else, thanks for playing.
