I'm really into conversation and love getting to know people. Fun for me is going to a favorite restaurant, going canoeing or hiking, traveling to a new place I've never been, or just sitting around talking with friends. I love to joke and think the funniest things in life are the truest things. Or is it the other way around?I'm into exercise and the outdoors, but also love what big cities have to offer. I'm an avid swimmer in pools and lakes -- and the ocean, though rarely get to the sea.My jobs since college have been (in chronological order! what a nerd!): pastry chef (right before becoming a vegan -- and it was one of the things that motivated me to become a vegan), acquisitions editor for an academic publishing company, nonprofit activist, statistical software developer, statistical genetist, survey statistician, policy work for the State of California on inequities in mental health care, math and physics for a small high-tech company, and now a statistical software developer again. In 2017, I moved to Texas from Vermont, and am working at the same job I had 20 years ago!I've had 3 goes at grad school: physics, math, and biostatistics, nearly getting my PhD the last time -- and might have if I wasn't spending so much time teaching vegan cooking classes and writing a monthly vegan cooking column for the Raleigh, NC newspaper. I love to cook. I wish I were a chef at my own vegan restaurant. My cooking is nothing like most vegan cooking.I'm an INFJ on the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator -- and according to that I should be a monk or a therapist -- not this science guy. I do love talking about feelings, relationships, things that really matter.Last thing about me: Despite being raised in Canada and the Northeast, I love hot weather. I hate A/C and love fresh air. My ideal temperature range is 80-90F!

I live with 2 birds for whom I try to provide as happy and healthy environment as is possible in this human-centered society. Hazel, the Sun Conure, is on my shoulder right now preening himself.I have been a long-time student of relationships, which baffle and fill my mind with wonder, all at the same time. I know that both aspects that we are fully conscious of AND less conscious of are important when creating a relationship: the obvious wants, AND the ones that aren't so obvious, but feel very good when they're there, such as acceptance, positive regard, and passion.I like to be active, and I am both "a few extra pounds" and "athletic." I've been doing an increasing amount of yoga; so far, my favorite is hot Vinyasa Yoga.I have been blown away (in a really great way) listening to Eckhart Tolle.I think I have a great sense of humor, but that's hard to express in words, and humor seems pretty subjective. I simply find a lot of things very funny.During my life I've nurtured both human and non-human children; I've been a nanny to many children, and a friend/guardian to many non-humans. I love being around both.I work as a nurse in advanced illness, which is an excellent outlet for compassion, but I'd really like to work in a prevention-based clinic/setting.I feel that I thoroughly explored career opportunities before becoming a nurse: a nanny, pre-school teacher's aid, tofu-maker, undercover agent, waitress, dance and aerobic instructor (as well as full-time dance student), secretary, hospital/ED unit assistant, receptionist, and salesperson. I like being a nurse because it incorporates science, education, psychology, sociology, spirituality, and compassion; I also like that I continually LEARN, and there are many opportunities to assist others to learn(when they want to, that is!).I've been relatively adventurous in my life, starting with childhood, growing up with an adventurous parent! Then, in teenage-hood, I took some solo bicycle adventures. It's continued into "adult-hood" with a nice swim adventure, and attempting motorcycling as transportation(ended abruptly with a fractured leg). And, of course, searching for a sweetheart has been one big adventure.

Upon casual observation, I may be described as quiet....big crowds aren’t really my thing. I am very committed and enjoy one on one time with my partner. I have a witty personality and I like to joke around. I am very health conscious. I eat a mostly "whole foods", completely plant-based “vegan” organic. I enjoy music, cooking, tennis, bowling, kayaking, and paddle boarding just to name a few. I am also open to trying new things. I want to live a peaceful, simple, life with someone I absolutely love and adore. I am hoping to find someone wanting the same lifestyle.I don’t drink or smoke and never have. I have also never tried or used any type of drugs. I don't support the objectification of women and wish modesty, decency, and morality were more common. I don’t blindly follow what everyone does just to fit in, I think for myself. I would love to find a woman that thinks the same way. I am definitely not everyone’s cup of tea. I would however be a very appealing and welcomed alternative to the usual crop of available men for the right woman.

I enjoy getting outside and heading to the beach, going for a walk, catching up with friends. I am creative, like messing about making things, whether it’s drawing pottery or gardening. Love the small things about life, stars, sitting on the grass chilling. I think I have a great sense of humour 😁

I am passionate about animals and our beautiful planet. Animals fill me with fluttering joy and nature grounds me I am fortunate to experience life beside my loving horse, Keynai, and my little bird, Kiwi.I'm vegan and am obsessed with organic produce!I am an artist and love creating! I'm a ballerina and dance every morning, it sets the tone for my day! It's my meditation. I seem to have my best ideas when stretching...I'm not perfect. I struggle with anxiety, trichotillomania, and insecurities.

I'm a cosmetic chemist working in the fragrance industry. I paint and have an art studio across town... that's been a life saver. PA, TX, IN, and CO are places I've lived, then rebounded back to the east coast to begin a new career and explore NYC. I'm intrigued by languages (German, French), spoil my two cats daily I'm slowly learning to play accordion, with "La vie en rose" as my current goal ;). I love discovering new places in the city and definitely appreciate an afternoon lounging by the water.
I've been vegan for the past 15 years, love experimenting in the kitchen, and am trying to become more aware of animal/environmental issues and be pro-active.

I like to take walks, cold weather, the rain, reading, dancing, singing and laughing. Laughter is one of my favourite things. I also enjoy deep conversations and meaningful connections. I am demisexual and in the aromantic spectrum.

I like to garden and pretty good with it, on the count of my 2 green thumps, I can grow food to beneficial ornamentals, and a darn good cook and like to be inspired as well as challenged in the kitchen. Employed with the same company for over 30 years. I share my home with two cats that are loved and living well.

As time passes I am finding it increasingly difficult to be with people who do not share the same values as I when it comes to what we choose to eat. For the next chapter of my life I want to share this journey that I am on with friends who are similarly oriented with compassion.At my core I am empathetic, compassion oriented and kind hearted. I love to laugh, never take myself too seriously but am also very clear about what in my life is most important - my family and friends, being authentic, helping those less fortunate and being grateful for all the amazing gifts in my life. I have finally come to a point in my life where materialism means little and the quality I seek comes in the the form of simplicity, the work I do and the relationships I nurture. Today I think of myself as a minimalist-in-training.I am most alive in nature - walking in the forest or on a natural beach, paddling my kayak, camping, cycling or skiing in the mountains. While I enjoy short stints of city time (I was raised in a big city), I am happiest now when I am close to nature.

I’m an energetic person with plenty of spunk and sass! I enjoy a deep, dynamic and mind-bending conversation or a silly, riotous laugh, but I also have a quiet, peaceful side. I very much enjoy bringing joy to people and love to be in the company of folks who love to laugh. I’ve been told I’m very funny, a good listener and a loyal friend.
I run a dog training and boarding resort, and my days are spent educating people about their relationships with their pets.
I live on a farm so I also have my own dogs, horses, goats and chickens who live on the farm. I’m blessed to live on a very healing space that I love to share with others.
I enjoy kayaking, hiking, gardening, campfires and just about anything outdoors! Since I love to eat, I also love to cook!

Healthy, body/mind/ spirit, “biologically” fifty years old. My current focus is a ten-to- twenty year plan to create an integrated orchard, garden, art project, home, and visitor's center for people to learn about live foods, organic gardening, and more. I am a green libertarian, or sometimes I say “spiritual anarchist,” but not an activist; a practical idealist and artist. In my down-time, I like to read (study) and watch sci-fi movies. I want to explore life extension/immortality through diet, life energy and relationship. I think/feel real love is a choice rather than a "fall" with no control [as in “falling in love”]. I would like profound intimacy with a partner where we have a lot in common and both open our hearts and minds to each other. I am slightly alternative and have lived off-the-grid on solar power since 1990. I like to dance, have fun, feel good and aim for bliss and happiness every day. It would nice to find friends who can see the vision of an integrated place that also includes, the EFGP, the immortality cult, solar neighborhood, socializing with purpose, and more. Curious? Ask me questions!
I tend to be a futurist, so I do things in the NOW to make things easier later. I think of myself as a man on a mission who is a grain of sand on the beach of the evolutionary transformation.Update:
Well it's been six years into the ten to twenty year plan and the fruit trees are really coming on now since I planted a few years before the plan started . Had some visiters recently and they helped with weeding and mulching for six weeks. The Center is coming along so it won't be that long before we have a place for all kinds of activities while the world goes mad.Yes my photos are recent.Peace, Love and Monkey Business. A.J.....................

I love animals, cats especially. I buy most things second-hand, try to avoid plastic packaging, and like to spend money wisely. I don’t drink much alcohol and don’t smoke. I do love delicious food.Cooking is my passion (and my job) and I try to lead a healthy lifestyle, but don’t always succeed! I’m vegan and love to cook mostly wholefood dishes, but I also love eating out and tasting new things.I enjoy practicing yoga, especially hot yoga when it’s cold outside. I find meditation very difficult but I’m trying to be more mindful and present in my life.I work a lot at the moment, running a business with my business partner who is also my ex. That could be a hard thing for someone new to get their head around. It’s sometimes difficult, but it’s working! :-)Castles, beaches and forests are some of my favourite places, and I would like to spend more time outside. I like swimming in the sea.I enjoy watching crime drama series’ and listening to audiobooks to relax. I love Monopoly, but no one will play it with me because I take it so seriously!People describe me as “sunny” “always on an adventure” and say I’m a good person to know because I’ve usually got a snack handy.I think honesty & understanding are the most important things in a relationship.

I'm shy, quiet, considerate. I've been vegan since 1988. For activities, I like dancing, movies, board games, disc golf, going for walks, hiking, tennis, eating out, reading, camping, cards, and web surfing. I like small gatherings of people but am not into parties much. Just staying home with you would be fine, too. You can't tell it from this description, but I have a good sense of humor, too. :-) My cat says to say "hi".

Healthy and happy. Just kind of a regular guy I think. Being a single dad was the most wonderful challenge of my life. I live in a home which was built in 1889 that is located in a residential conservation area in a suburb of DC. Three doors up from me is a Clara Barton Historic marker posted on an 1860's church property which is part of a historic preservation area. One block to the west is the Fairfax Station Railroad museum. Of course outside of this protected area is the regular, crazy suburbia we all know too well.

I have been vegan for almost 4 years now. I enjoy trying new vegan restaurants as well as new recipes. I love going to farmers markets, antique shops and festivals, especially vegan ones. I have travelled quite a bit and I have to say that Berlin is my favorite vegan destination. Now that my kids are in college, I have more free time to do things on my own.

I teach within the audio engineering department at a local college and sing with a jazz & big band when able.I feel Its important to take responsibility for ones place in the world, to know that its your choices that created the life your living.I've spent my life collecting experiences. I've been a bartender and sound designer in IL, singing telegram girl/sound editor in NY a dive master/elder caretaker in HI. I've had wonderful adventures but need my partner in crime!I realized recently how important it is to spend quality time with those you love while there is still time to spend; which brings me "home" to IA.I am passionate about new experiences, new places, broadening my view of our planet and our place on it.I love a person who can debate a well thought out point without getting emotional.I will do things for the sensual pleasure of it, like running through a sprinkler, letting an Rice Dream ice cream cone get melty around my lips, licking the foam off a pint of Guinness or walking in mud after a rain storm to feel the warm squishy stuff between my toes. I will be adventurous and young at heart till the day I die.I'm a film school graduate and a syfy junkie. Thrillers, action adventure and mysteries are all close seconds. I can talk movies for hours! I went on a Prometheus rant for days.Spiritual growth is most important to me. I meditate and regularly reflect on and learn from the life I create day to day. I believe that thoughts have an energy that can effects us and the world around us. Science is just starting to measure and prove the existence of that energy.I am a deeply loyal, supportive and forgiving person but will not tolerate being mistreated. I have no problem severing ties with toxic people or those determined to be miserable.I don't believe in religious dogma.I'm really NOT into sports.Don't watch much TV but have really gotten into subscription show originals, Netflix, HBO & the like. Game of Thrones, House of Cards, Daredevil & Shameless are some favorites.

Positive, good-hearted, faithful, responsible, grateful for good things. Into personal growth, conscious and aware - have done the work and strive to be better, more mature, wise, kind, positive, caring, compassionate, and loving. Adventurous, romantic, affectionate, joyful, humorous (sometimes laugh-out-loud funny). As honest as they come; no "white lies". Quick to forgive, and quick to apologize if I mess up. If the relationship is right, I'm a man that knows how to love and knows how to make it work and last.Philosophical/spiritual/metaphysical/heart-based, rather than following religion - but appreciative of its good aspects. Peaceful, confident, accepting and serene. Not needing to insert my opinion, and not needing to 'be right'. I like a little yoga, but is not a spiritual practice for me.Full of integrity, clean, highly intelligent, fit, healthy, ethical vegan (also provides a multitude of health and youth-preserving benefits). Trying to make the world a better place in whatever large or small ways I can.Creative and multi-talented, I love creativity like writing, and also composing several styles of music & arranging/recording/publishing some of it. It seems to me that some music can connect us with the essence of the Universe.A renaissance man, for sure - I can do almost anything from cooking, decorating, and keeping house to Mr. fix-it (and that means I will work on the house, appliances, and your car if you need it), to many things requiring thought, creativity, intelligence, and innovation. Being kind and compassionate.A very good and understanding parent (son is now grown), youthful, alive, somewhat green/environment conscious, working on fitness and maintaining a good physique, and fun!Food - Thai, Indian, Mediterranean, fresh vegan or raw - good food that does not involve suffering or death of animals.I spend a lot of time thinking about making the world better. Trying to do the kindest, most selfless, loving thing possible in any situation. I don't always succeed, but that is my intent :-)I enjoy road trips, kayaking, hiking, the forest, Sedona, cycling, a good movie, a good veg meal out, a veg or raw meal made at home (cooking with a special someone is incredibly sexy), a great little coffee shop, or a quaint out-of-the-way place. Also deep discussions about philosophy, spirituality, life, science, and technology, and where they may intersect or be related.

open, honest, blunt, sarcastic, witty.
I tend to be very up front and direct. I can be a little intense at times but always mean well and try my best.I just moved to the DFW area for work. Starting a fantastic opportunity and I am fairly excited about it. Need to meet new people in the area.Big movie, and music fan. Also enjoy sports, being outside, working on my car, playing guitar and painting.

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.

Right now? A snapshot of me is a bachelor with a bunch of cats. How i got here is a good story that i would love to share. I like to imagine that i am nearing the end of my work career, but i still enjoy my work. I am planning for a change after one more winter. I would love a more rural setting for my next career. So, "willing to relocate", but not just yet.I love cooking for myself and others. Or, rather, i love eating delicious vegan fare. If i have to cook for one, i don't mind. It's going to be good. Recently added garden food to the menu and there is no going back. The quality of supermarket food is steadily dropping. So listen everyone; if your aim is for plant based diets to save the world, then promote local organic growing.I recently decided to jump start my music interest. The saxophone had been collection dust since college, so i bought a guitar to try. You know, i think being able play chords is what i needed. I already have a huge fan in one of the cats. She thinks i'm pretty good.

I'm an emotionally and behaviorally balanced, mature, witty, interesting and curious person. I'm thoughtful and kind and am often moved by people's difficulties. I'm not given to extreme swings of mood. I'm also consistent and try to view other's actions (as best as I can) from their point of view. I also lead a disciplined and moderate lifestyle and am not bored easily. My interests include reading, exercising, walking in cities, travel, coffee shops, cooking, world cinema, classical music

My friends would describe me an witty, intelligent, caring, friendly, loving girl who has a great sense of humour and loves to laugh. I am a genuinely happy person (an eternal optimist, you might say) with a positive outlook on life. : )Born and raised in Toronto, I love spending time with my family and friends. My hobbies include reading, nature, music, watching great Bollywood movies (which are becoming harder to find these days! :p) exploring the city/sightseeing, travelling and volunteering/getting involved in the community. One day I would love to travel the world.Also, I would like to confess that I am a bit of a geek - I harbour a love of great books, libraries, fantasy and sci-fi novels, board games and The Big Bang Theory. I also love British TV (Coronation Street, Top Gear, Britcoms).

I’m a practical person who values honesty and integrity. It’s important to me to stay active, as well as continue to learn, grow, and change as needed. But I also like to have some routine and predictability in my life. I have found and enjoy attending a local church Sundays.

I enjoy working outside, and outdoor leisure is cool too. I like to cook but don't really do much adventurous cooking anymore since I'm just feeding myself mostly. I love all kinds of music, however fringe area metal and baby making hip hop aren't part of that.

I will help you to relocate in Los Angels, California. I am well educated handsome, non smoker, vegetarian, fun loving, easy going

I like to bike, alpine ski, and play frisbee and basketball. I also enjoy reading, philosophizing, and going to concerts.

I am close to retirement and want to travel the world!

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.

I am a good hearted and mentally active spiritual man. I like being out walking in nature, watching birds/wildlife, and visiting prehistoric sites. I aim to eat healthy organic food. I am interested in environmental issues, technology, consumer issues, politics and complementary health. I enjoy the usual things like theatre, humour etc.

Ska, punk, art, museums, board games, movies, speeding, traveling, writing, activism, etc.

I am a positive person who loves nature. I love music (rock). I love movies. I like the 80s. I love to protect the weak beings.

I am active, upfront and like to venture away from the crowd and do my own thing...

.I am a vet emigrated from Portugal and living in England for 13 years now. It has been a country where I have evolved professionally but where I didn't feel like creating roots because of the clima. I tend to favour holidays where I work in developing countries to help as a vet but I am equally happy to travel with a partner and discovering things together.
I have a reserved nature and tend to favour being on my own sometimes than being out with people specially in the crowd
The animals company in my life is a plus and essential to my happiness .
finally I don't want any children

I believe that I work incredibly hard at everything in my life. I always want to be of the very best benefit to others, I don’t aspire for success I aspire to make a difference. I have a very outgoing personality and mostly get along with everyone. I am VERY happy in life.

I love doing things outdoors. Camping and hiking are two of my favorite activities.I work for a small company writing software. I am also the system administrator for the company. I like figuring out how things work.I prefer honesty, so in that theme to give a little history, I had a fall accident in 2003, which has resulted in me having some memory problems. I can generally remember things fine, but I may forget things. I try hard to remember things but occasionally stuff slips out of my memory. I also have twitches because of it and my mood can swing randomly. This might be a problem for some people, but it's something I have to live with.

I run two businesses. I started my farm about two years ago. I grow a variety of greens and vegetables. I like living a healthy and self-sufficient lifestyle. I believe in hard work, honesty and respect. I'm goal oriented and know how to take action to get things done. I'm easy to talk to. Even if you don't know what to say just write. "Hi".

Laid back and easy going. I rescue cats during the some and foster on occasion.

Hi! I am 39 years old, my name is Tera and I live in the United States. I have been a vegetarian for 10 years, love family and friends, tired of being single.

-enjoy learning
-enjoy trail running, hiking, kayaking, snowshoeing, boxing classes

I enjoy time outside hiking in the hills around eastern Washington. Cooking, electronics and amateur radio are a couple of my hobbies. I enjoy good cinema and so a trip to Vancouver for the VIFF film festival would be a great getaway. I tend to speak when spoken to and with the right person will be drawn out and very talkative but at first meeting I may seem quiet. I tend to be a bit too honest at times but most of my friends will say that is what they like about me. At my old job I used to bicycle to work every day and so biking is something that you will never have trouble getting me to do. I love to cook but with my present job I have not had as much time as I would like to do it. The Spokane vegetarians used to have regular pot luck dinners which I always attended, people loved the things I brought. I try not to get too wrapped up in current events although I do keep on top of them. I tend to keep my ideas to myself unless the other person is truly open to differing viewpoints as I almost always have an alternate point of view to others (Spokane is very conservative) but at the same time I always try to see the other side of things. I like working in my shop or am happy going out to see a live music performance, some times I like to go out with my friends to the local pub for a beer. I love British humor and the television shows that highlight that, so if you like Monty Python, or A bit of Frye and Laurie or Black Adder then more the better :)

Love to travel and experience out amazing planet , enjoy adventures and love the beauty of nature

I like sports, going out, Netflix, and more! Love trying new vegan foods!

I am warm-hearted, caring, affectionate, nature-loving, health conscious, fun loving and a zest for life. I like the simple things conversation, music, cooking, gardening, reading and spending time outdoors.

Donkeys are so cute.

Kalama Sutra

I would say five words that describe me include caring, enthusiastic, driven, reserved, and a leader. I have been living a vegan lifestyle for almost six years now. Initially, I made the transition for health/fitness-related reasons but have gradually evolved towards ethical reasons as well over time. I am currently pursuing a career in the wonderful field of physical therapy and this is something I am very passionate about! I am also an avid endurance athlete. In my free time, I enjoy running, weightlifting, trying out ninja warrior courses, watching sports, listening to music, and spending time with my family & friends.
