I'm a graduate student/research fellow/young public policy professional based out of Washington, DC. Former consultant/journalist/paralegal with global experience.Currently trying to pick up new hobbies. I welcome suggestions. Maybe this is something we can bond over.

Music, art, books, and film are what I care most about.I studied English Lit in college. I am a self-employed carpenter.

I enjoy hiking through forests, especially those containing water features. I enjoy walking, kayaking, swimming, exploring new places and favorite familiar ones. I get my greatest joy from being in nature, especially when shared with like minded persons. I have been a pet groomer for over 35 years with a great love of companion animals. I used to bike ride and horse back ride, but have not done so to any great extent in recent years. I would be open to those activities and others. I would love to learn to cross country ski.
I find it challenging to find restaurants that offer vegan options, although eating out is not at the top of my list due to the lack of restaurants in my area that do vegan well. I do not enjoy drinking alcoholic beverages, but may on occasion drink a
glass of wine.
I have not traveled extensively, but would love to accompany a special someone to new and exciting places. I do not consider very commercialized places exciting. I prefer locations that revolve around the natural beauty of an area.
I am environmentally minded, and try to make a minimal impact on the earth. I do not use chemical insecticides, with the exception of spraying my hiking cloths with pyrethrin to ward off the ticks. Tick borne diseases are prevalent in my area and I have already had Lyme disease twice.
I used to garden quite a bit, both veggies and flowers. I have been an organic gardener since I first rented a home. Even though I do not have my own home now I continue to compost and grow flowers by my door and herbs in containers.
I am a nature girl who enjoys live performances, natural foods, travel, and the love of a compatible man.

I like to stay active, and live a very simple life. The Upper Pioneer Valley region of western Mass has a wide variety of local events and destinations that appeal to all tastes.

Thanks for dropping by. If I'm out feel free to leave a message.I spend a lot of time outdoors. I kayak, hike, bike, birdwatch, and love meeting all my wild neighbors.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

I have an visual arts background (college and professionally) and have recently started doing architectural restoration for a living. I enjoy being outside as much as possible (kayaking, hiking). I am a big music lover with a weird sense of humor. I’m looking for someone who has a great design sense who loves cooking and wants to travel!

Besides thinking that animals are better than most people, I love to be outside with my dogs . I love to read also and watch old, black and white movies.

I need everyone around me to be in happy. So I am a helpful person for anyone including animals too. Children like me. May be I am kind. I am nonviolent so I am a vegetarian. I don't believe in religion but believe in science. I am a teacher of maths and physics.

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

I have a big heart and I am passionate about living a natural life, local cultures and a lot more. I am a faithful and dependable guy.

I am looking for a long/short term friendship to whom i can share my feelings and who could a good friend/well wisher.

I am a very energetic, happy and positive person. I am hard working and determined, I fight for what I want and do not give up easily. I am very caring and loving, faithful and loyal to those I love and care for. I love my family, and my children are my most precious treasure, I love laughing. At first I am looking for friendships, and then I will look into it and see if there is a future for a relationship. I am very honest and do not enjoy playing games or drama. I have a healthy life, eating fresh and organic products, no sugar or gluten.
I believe in karma and reincarnation, and these concepts have changed me.
I am studying quantum physics like professor Helio Couto, Dr Joe Dispenza, Greg Braden... they are my inspirations.
I treat people the way I want them to treat me, and expect the same from others.

I am a researcher (PhD) in engineering and over the years have realized the fine details of how the human body works. Although an engineer I am equally interested in biology and human psychology. Most of the time I wander researching on topics that interest me instead of focusing on my work. Recently I have developed keen interest in stock market analysis and effective ways to investing $$$.Outside of work I enjoy playing squash, chess, badminton, ping-pong. Last year I have also learnt how to swim and bought myself a ukulele. When time permits I like to go for a hike. I also do freelance photography and love going for long drives.I like tasting all kinds of plant-based foods; I am also very good at checking food labels and looking up for pros and cons of each ingredient on our health. At home I like to cook my meals everyday because I like to eat fresh cooked food.I also practice yoga and meditation everyday for which I like to get up very early. I believe in a disciplined lifestyle and motivating others.

Im not religious, dogmatic or literalist. I am spiritual: I'm Christian. I'm non-denominational (Interdenominational?)I eat mostly healthy.I'm eclectic.I love walking in nature.Into sustainability, community development.Talents in dance, music, art, massage, philosophical thinking...Hobbies e.g. beginners dancing Zumba, beginners' tai chi, beginners' sewing, church services at different churches, trying to take up writing...coursesHealthy lifestyle.My friend just said "...and you're a good conversationalist and not into messing people around."Eclectic re film, TV and music (not horror not death metal). I don't watch much TV.I have a pet cat.

My birthsign is Capricorn and I pretty much fit what is said regarding capricorns; independent, self reliant, kind, a bit stiff emotionally but warm and kind once you know me. I have two dogs from the shelter I love. If I had to describe myself, I would say I am like a car that is 18 years old with 5,000 miles on the clock; I am older, but, for the right woman to whom age is not the most important thing, I have a lot of service and love to offer, and kindness too. Soon I will post photos so stay tuned Bill

I love life! I am a hard worker but also stress free and wise regarding lifestyle. I love to travel (especially to beaches), laugh, hike, bike, boat, tan, eat fresh organic food, camp, communicate, cuddle, have regular sex, be romantic out doors, be outside or have windows open (even when it's cold), fires, drink wine and Strawberry Ale and whiskey, drink natural spring water. I don't tolerate prejudice nor anger (thus why I'm still single) I see things on a global perspective. I am confident, yet giving and always looking for change for the better and more experiences in life and lessons. I am a few pounds over my own desired size, but actually am very energetic, healthy, and have stamina that few have. I am actually athletic build with a few extra pounds, but with going vegan will be changing that quickly. I also loose a pound per day when fasting. I have researched and practiced natural great health for many years and do not take any meds nor supplements. My food is my medicine and my medicine is my food. (love spring water also)

Passionate, funny, intelligent, romantic, animal and earth lover...work from home, have 4 parrots (would love more), am allergic to cats...hate cooking, like to exercise, not big on partying anymore, but can be social if needed. My family is very important to me. Sometimes I'm too sarcastic and blunt. I love cleaning. Music. Magic. True love.

I’m a hard working carer who enjoys life

I must say I am shy but humorous at the same time (although that may seem contradictory :) ), honest, and independent, always happy to help others.
At a short distance, I am a joyful guy (or at least that's what I think) who appreciates the life's simple things, inspirational chats, laughting, ... I also love learning new things, from science to spiritual development.Rather than a party animal, I am a lover of the peaceful countryside and parks, cultural events ... Although, you can find me breaking the rules in vivid social dancing too! :DI am from Barcelona and I moved to UK a few years ago. I'm glad to work in the environmental sustainability of buildings sector.So English is not my native language, and part of my heart always dwells in the Mediterranean sea.

I'm a lover of animals and all things artistic.

Some say I’m a dreamer in fact more particularly a creative type test Adobe has! I believe in the interconnectedness of the universe and all beings. I love to live in harmony with nature and work on projects to make the planet a better place. People, planet and profit is the bottom line for the little startup I’m currently trying my hands at. I also love writing creatively and traveling sustainably learning about other cultures, foods (veggie), history and architecture. Really though what makes people tick!

I'm a creative and deeply spiritual person. I'm a Jesus person, but I'm not religious. My family here in Arizona includes three big dogs and a few cats. I have been evolving and re-assessing habits and beliefs for several years. I am grateful I stepped back and took the time to examine my life and how I'd support my values. It took me a long time to see how my choices directly affect the status quo.Now that I'm clear about not wanting to support factory farming, I have a lot less in common with meat-eaters. I'd like to meet folks who have broached this moral issue, and are moving on in their spiritual walk.My life is very peaceful. I don't like drama. I'm living in the suburbs, something I never thought I'd do. I don't like having to get in a car just to go get a good cup of coffee. My job is in East Mesa.... so I compromise.... I don't like to commute and living out here keeps my commute to only 10 minutes.I like NPR, PBS, history, movies like 'Ice Age,' 'Children of Men,' 'Master and Commander,' 'Cloud Atlas,' Dan Brown movies, 'Maleficent,' 'Kingdom of God,' and AFV.And I'm an amateur videographer. Love telling stories..I'm hoping that in the years to come, I'll find a niche/community that includes more like-minded people, and ultimately a neighborhood with light rail, and walking to good stores.Thirty years ago, I rented rooms out of the house I had in a college town. Sharing the living space was delightful. I would love to give this kind of house-sharing another try when it's possible, again.

Romantic, kind, and gentle guy with a virtually endless variety of interests. I'd like a partner to help me explore the world, and to build a lasting, loving, and supportive relationship. I am able to move almost anywhere to spend life with my twin flame.Easy-going, witty, patient, loving, compassionate, non-judgmental, and a good & loyal friend. I am very open and emotionally available; some would say evolved. My attitudes and behaviors are very positive, light hearted, and consistent. Chronic hand holder and hug monster. I believe that common values are more important than common interests.Some of my interests: travel, kayaking, biking, hiking, swimming, keeping fit & healthy, yoga, beaches, mountains, volunteer work with special needs people, biographies, classical music, NPR, continued learning, word games, writing Haiku, American Southwest, French language & culture, museums, fine art, foreign cinema, and romance in any form. Animal rights supporter and member of many vegetarian/vegan/raw groups.Thirty-five years of a plant-based diet and a lifelong healthy lifestyle have blessed me with a body, mind and spirit far younger than my chronological age (except for accumulated wisdom, of course). My profile photo is current, and the others are about three years old, but I have not suffered any significant physical deterioration since they were taken.

Do a lot of activities (sports, drawing, writing, programming, playing music, doing scientific experiments, math) but have no one to share it with. Professionally I am a game developer. I have quite poor communication skills cause was bullied for my entire teen years which made me afraid to talk to people and expect them to react me negatively by default, have low self-confidence.
