I love to hike, go for walks, mountain bike. I would love to ski more. I like to do things outdoors and be active, but I have to admit I’m definitely a Netflix Binger as well. I’m pretty middle of the road politically. I used to lean more to the right, but now lean more to the left. I strongly believe in doing what we can to minimize climate change, I’m financially conservative, but definitely not a Trumper. I spend most of my time in El Paso where i work, but do also own a home in Albuquerque where my two of my children live. I visit them every few months. I also have a daughter in NYC and a son in Japan. I go to NYC a couple times a year, and I’m trying to coordinate with my son to go visit Japan. I would love to travel more but work gets in the way. I would like to cut back on work and would be willing to if I had a significant other in my life. In the meantime, I’m just enjoying my job and interacting with my clients and co-workers and visiting my kiddos when I can.

I'm having a good and an interesting life, that is inspired and sustained by keeping a sense of wonder.
My body is in reasonable condition for its age and mileage.
I've managed to keep my mind open, yet not so open that my brains fell out.
Instead of spending my younger years identifying myself as a career, I decided to keep myself open for possibilities. Doing so rewarded me with so many life enriching experiences.
Cultured and Well traveled.
I spent 10 years living overseas: England, India, and Malaysia. I also lived in a Bhakti Yoga, Ashram, for 8 years as a student monk.
My overall attitude to life is Casual: adjective, Suited for everyday wear or informal use.
* What Does Being Conscious Mean to Me.
More than ever I choose carefully as to where my time and energy go. I pay attention to what is happening in the world, and am definitely more Awake, not Woke. I am a critical thinker who factors in motives, consequences, and rhetoric before deciding whom I trust, or what I believe.
WHICH BOOKS DO I LIKE TO READ
*I find most reading pleasurable. Especially when the concept is intriguing, or the story is riveting.
For example, I've been pleasure reading and studying about: 'Sapiens', 'Other Minds'
'The Mountain in the Ocean,'
'Immense Worlds,' - Unwelt,
'The Spell Of The Sensuous.'
I recently finished reading: "How Forests Think." (Imagine being in an environment where every living being is- "I and We"
*I flippin'love coffee table books, 'The Golden Book' series. was my "Gateway."🕺
*Also, biographies. Patti Smith and Ray Davies were especially insightful and are terrific story tellers.
... and why? It gives me something to do when I'm not listening to music. 😎
A FEW OF MY FAVORITE QUOTES
"I'm sick of following my dreams, man. I'm just going to ask where they're going and hook up with ’em later.” Mitch Hedberg
"It is the mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain a thought without accepting it."
Aristotle
"There is almost a sensual longing for communion with others who have a large vision. The immense fulfillment of the friendship between those engaged in furthering the evolution of consciousness has a quality impossible to describe."
Pierre Teilhard de Chardin
"Those who have a good sense of continuity of who they are appear to be better adjusted in later life. They are less likely to identify themselves with being "old," because they identify as being who they Always have been."

I’m energetic and conscientious. I love nature and being positively connected with it.
I worked with children and families in a mental health capacity for many years and I continue a small practice. Currently I build/renovate homes and prefer to retrofit older homes to be more energy efficient and healthy (air quality) for those who live there.

I'm a single man never married and No children. I live in a very small village in the Central Louisiana area . I am a kidney transplant recipient and like exercising, cooking and experimenting with Vegan foods . I was Agnostic and now a Christian... Long story. Labeling someone on their political status is nonsense... Politics has divided the world. It's very simple ... You Cannot Love God and hate his Children at the same time.

I spend a lot of time outdoors. I kayak, hike, bike, birdwatch, and love meeting all my wild neighbors. The year before Covid I took my first surfing lesson. Although I did ride a couple of waves all the way in I mostly practiced falling. I got quite good at it. I was hoping to get back to practice more of the not falling part. But Covid got in the way. Hopefully this year I can try again with the help of a new competent president and vaccines.
I write and advocate for causes I care about and have had some successes. The circus no longer comes to my town, there's a beautiful preserved forest that does NOT have a cell phone tower, there's a large city park where ALL smoking is banned.....
My favorite issues are environmental, animal rights, and those concerning poverty and human rights. I think in another life I must have been a peasant in a peasant uprising.
This might seem odd but for fun I collect trash. My kayak often looks more like a garbage scow as I gather plastics and other trash while kayaking on the river and at the beach. I mostly just find trash but I've found some interesting stuff too, including something the bomb squad had to blow up on the spot. I'm still waiting to find either a briefcase full of half a million dollars of drug money no one claims or a chest of pirate's treasure sticking half out of a sandbar.
I love gardening... for wildlife, for food, for beauty, organically, and with native plants.
I enjoy a variety of things and am always eager to learn new ones. I'm open to suggestions.....
I admire Thoreau, Gandhi, Paul Watson, Ric O'Barry, johnpaulgeorge&ringo, Zonker P. Harris, Jeremy Hilary Boob Phd.......
"If I had no sense of humor I should long ago have committed suicide." - Gandhi

My life values are learning, minimalistic but materially-fulfilled living, adventure, family and health.
I am almost-vegan except an occasional chocolate. I am a non-smoker, non-drinker, fitness-enthusiast, love salsa, bhangda (popular punjabi dance) and philosophy. I like reading, listening to western classical and punjabi music, going to the gym, home-cooking and doing yoga. I prefer living in compact / decent-sized homes instead of large homes. I am a data scientist and machine learning researcher by profession.
I'm looking for a partner who has the same or similar life values, who either is vegan or vegetarian or is fine being so moving forward and is Covid vaccinated.
I am a feminist and am very much for equality between men and women. I also desire to have a traditional husband-wife-kid(s) type of family as I feel that it is a beautiful thing :)

Work in printing. Fairly laid back - enjoy exploring the countyside, hiking in the hills and coastal paths. Travel. I play guitar and ukulele and record and perform as part of a duo.I seem to spend too much time renovating my Victorian home - I even built my own kitchen (although it took nearly 3 years!) My tastes in music, film etc I'd describe as non mainstream. Spent much of the 80s/90s listening to John Peel - any Belle & Sebastian fans out there?
I like to cook and make a mean curry if nothing else!
Oh and my favourite comedians are Stewart Lee, Mark Steel and Jeremy Hardy if you're wondering why I left that lifestyle section blank!!

I love Nature and ALL animals; I find Nature and animals endlessly awe-inspiring and fascinating.
I love walking in the outdoors, exploring the landscapes of Britain, especially in the Lake District and Cornwall.
I love the coast, hills, woods, waterfalls, and starry skies. I prefer being in the countryside or at the seaside to urban places.
I like reading and I love history and visiting historic sites, like castles.
I love old films and a variety of music, especially from the 60/70s, like The Kinks, Pink Floyd, Kate Bush.
I'm not materialistic and I love free, priceless things, like sunsets and cuddles.

I like to be out and about in nature, especially by water: Lakes, rivers and the sea.I also like history and enjoy visiting castles, historic buildings, museums, art galleries. I also enjoy, spending time with family and friends, eating out, cooking, DIY
I guess alternative is a word I would use to describe myself. For instance, I don't watch television or listen to the radio on a daily basis, and would also say I am more into vintage than modern. I would also say I am creative and enjoy making and doing things.

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 :)

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.

I am a decent, intelligent, funny guy who is debt free (except the money pit). I am looking for a warm, honest, responsible, fun, and intelligent woman.
I love movies and documentaries. I prefer anything that expands views or is thought provoking. I also love music, or audio books, and play them whenever my hands are busy working. I love many types, except most rap and some country. I really enjoy 90s alternative rock, 80s, 70s, but am really open to new things, and old... such as classical. Lately, I have been listening to modern techno music while I am working. It is busy but doesn't distract me.
I am looking for someone to do things with, hang out, and develop a relationship. Looking for a life companion rather serial dating... that's not me! You won't find a more generous and caring person, or so I've been told. I'd love to find my new best friend!
Besides a walking the dog every day, I also use my elliptical and weight bench often. I am pretty healthy... knock on wood! I'd love to take day trips, go hiking, play tennis, basketball, rollerblade, or bicycle partner... or just about anything outside!
I own a 5 acre farm that is very relaxing to come home to! Lots of deer, birds, and other wildlife. I have done the city thing and spent a lot of time in NYC. I love it and could adapt to that, but there is nothing like looking out back and seeing no other man-made structure; just woods and animals!
Not vaxed and won’t be, but I don’t judge.

I have my own successful business. I enjoy traveling and have lived and worked in the United States and U.K .I love all animals, and abhor any form of cruelty to any living creature, including insects and invertebrates. It's well known these days that even so-called 'lower' forms of life are far more intelligent than previously thought. They have as much right to live on this Earth as humans do.

Grew up on the East Coast (Maryland), divorced (1999); 2003 moved to West Coast (Northern CA); divorced in 2006; Now in Southern CA (2013-present). Plan to move when I retire in 18-months (2025) to Tennessee. No children; family in Colorado and Maryland. Graduated with English major. Retired film producer (1982-2013) with National Geographic Society.
I am open, easy to talk to, a good listener, curious about life, a world traveler, love WATER and nature. So much more to say.
Super-impressed by Schwarzenegger's "Game Changers" movie - vegetarian's the way go! Hope to make it 107 years!
Would like to speak on phone with any interested friend, with the goal of finding my partner for life.
For those put-off by my being in CA and scouting TN - I'm traveling back and forth over the coming 18-months, so will meet in person. With Skype and Zoom and Google Meet, much of the chemistry can be determined. Telephone conversations will tell us a lot.
