I love to hike, and I'm very passionate about music. I've lived for many years in Colorado, and I'm now in the process of permanently relocating to San Miguel de Allende, Mexico. I would love to do more traveling, in Mexico, the US and overseas. My bucket list of places to see is still extensive!

While self-development and discovery is a life-long process, I have found a few Key-Values that I have found myself believing in and acting out on consistently over many years. Therefore, I am reasonably sure that they are a part of my core personality:

Life Values:

1.Learning- I enjoy learning through many modes – pursuing academic degrees, reading books, talking to others, hands-on, workshops. I am a life-long learner.

2.Minimalism – I have seen that I consciously make choices to keep my needs to the bare minimum. This not only helps me to keep my expenditure and environmental footprint down, but also to enjoy the peace of mind that I feel when I realize that I need very little to live a good life. For example, I have not had a TV for the past 18 years, have managed without owning a car or motorbike for many years etc.

3.Adventure – I see myself as an explorer who is curious to explore the external and the internal worlds. Yoga, Meditation, Adventure sports are examples that come to my mind that I pursue.

4. Family- I a family oriented man. I care about my parents, brother, relatives and want to have a good family life despite its many inevitable pushes and pulls.

5.Health- I value being physically, mentally and emotionally fit. I therefore engage in activities like healthy eating, running, yoga, meditation and gym.

6.Openness- I speak my mind rather than bottling up my feelings as I find that this helps me and others.

Diet -

I am vegan, eat organic when I have a choice.
always been a non-smoker; do not drink.

Fitness-

I've been a Marathon Runner for several years; have done many fulls, halves, 10Ks and 5Ks. Nowadays, I am not running for races but more moderately to just keep myself fit and I have realised the importance of moderation in everything including running.

Hatha Yoga practitioner and gymer.

Like to do adventure sports once in a while.

Personality-

INTP type personality - I do not read too much into it but take it as an indicator of my natural tendencies.

Philosophical Beliefs-

I practice Buddhist Meditation but am not a religious Buddhist. I have strong affinity to Stoicism and Epicureanism find them to be really practical ways to live life.

Hello There!
Thanks for visiting my profile (please read my entire profile and what I am looking for before messaging me). Am I the most attractive girl out there? Of course not. Do I have a good personality? No, not always, I am human with my ups and downs. But if you are looking for someone who is genuine, sincere, loyal, hard worker, understands compromise, mentally and emotionally ready for a serious relationship than we might vibe well. I respect traditional, monogamous relationships and looking for someone who wants to collaborate on life, supporting each other's goals and create our own. I enjoy being single but I would love to meet the right person to share this life with. I truly wish everyone on this site the best of luck finding your ideal partner.

About Me:
-socialist (very left leaning), progressive not liberal, vote 3rd party
-devoted animal lover
-mellow, calm, chill, playful, easygoing
-like going out but like being home just as much or more. I don't need to go out all the time, I am more of a homebody.
-hard worker
-monogamous
-family oriented
-into health
-INTP
-spiritual not religious
-not vaccinated (all of sudden we are supposed to trust big pharma? 🤷🏽‍♀️). I don't discriminate against vaccine status ( I could care less if you are vaccinated or not). If being vaccinated is a deal breaker for you, please move on as I have no intentions of getting vaccinated (being upfront). I am tired of wasting time on people just to find out they have a problem with my vax status.

I enjoy many things and love to be busy as often as I enjoy quiet time at home. Anything from reading, cooking, gardening, walking/hiking, discovering fun local shops, museums & galleries, wineries/breweries, live music, travel and time with friends and family.

For the most part, I live an average/normal life. I'm not that much into traveling around the world (I think North America has plenty to offer), not a big fan of large crowds, mass events, extreme sports, or wild adventures - not that there's anything wrong with it, just not my thing anymore... Nowadays, I prefer reading, watching TV documentaries or sitcoms, and listening to various podcasts. Hoping to meet someone with similar interests and lifestyle.

Currently on a 'heating strike' until war is over in Ukraine, so will reduce or turn off heating where I can.

I am a trained classical singer and musician.

I'm self employed living in a quiet village after relocating a few years ago. I enjoy yoga and meditation and listening to music and hanging out with people.

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

I am 6-1" tall, dark and handsome :) I am described by my family and friends as an easygoing,friendly,thoughtful, sincere,kind,honest,open-minded,creative and fun to be around.
I have been vegetarian for over 3 years now,but finally became vegan over a year ago. Wish could have done that years ago.
I am into meditation (Release Technique/Sedona Method developed by Lester Levenson.In my personal experience, 1 month of Releasing equals to 12 months of meditation),yoga, martial arts(kick boxing, mixed martial arts),reading,music, movies,financial trading,and traveling.As far as travel...I have been to USA (mostly lived in Texas on and off over 7 years), Canada, Mexico, India,and currently living in England UK.
I am constantly learning,improving and evolving.
One of my favourite quotes: *You can not re-live the past, the future is determined by what you do today, so NOW is the only time.*

I love to backpack in the gentle mountains of the Shenandoah National Park and the surrounding area--previously about 12 weeks each year--but lately my left knee has developed painful arthritis. I still backpack and sleep in a tent as often as possible, but I can't go as far or as fast or carry as much as I used to. I have recently had an injection of hyaluronic acid in the knee which seems to be working well: no pain for a few weeks. I also like to bike, dayhike, ski, read, play ukulele (but am no expert by any reckoning), sing, and paint. I am politically liberal; I believe in individual freedom and social justice for all. I do not believe in the supernatural; I believe in nature and in an irrational universe. If this life is all we have, that makes it even more important to create a kind and loving world for ourselves and others. I have been caring for my elderly parents for several years. Recently my father passed away, but I am still caring for my mother with the help of a good team of caregivers. I live in Virginia where Cannabis is legal and sometimes use it.

Uniquely creative with a pioneering-spirit and a passion for seeing things from a “different” perspective.
Thoughtful, grateful, positive and funny

I enjoy hiking, walking and cycling. I am health conscious and earth conscious. I also have read and listened to Lynne McTaggart. On Wednesdays I participate in a power of 8 intentions group where we meditate on healing. Healing each other and healing the planet. My favorite album is Super Hits of 1720. I enjoy the symphony and the opera.

Since there is no one on this website anywhere near me, I've decided to expand my search and see who is out there. A veg person, by definition, must be a lot more open minded than the average american. And it's obvious looking at many of your fascinating profiles. Over the past few years I've been focusing on energy using Tai Chi, Feng Shui, Tapping and EMDR therapy. I've also discovered don Miguel Ruiz, a writer who has enabled me to gain wisdom and peace. He has written many books, including The Four Agreements, The Mastery of Love, and many others.

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. 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 the only person, activity in my life, and you happen to like the Whatyouseeiswhatyouget look, then we just may have a winner. Everyone else, thanks for playing.

I'm a 50 year old single female who is vegan, loves animals, travelling , reading sci fi/horror/suspense, cooking, camping and 80s goth, punk, alternative and one hit wonders.

I'm a quiet, down to earth homebody, retired and making do with what I have. I like my daily walks and my evening television. Like to read, but don't seem to get around to it much. I probably spend too much time on the computer. Also, I plead guilty to sometimes writing poetry. The time has come for me to get out of my tight, little world, and make some friends, and find my true love (Could that be you?).

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 m trying to go from my heart and be honest in everything what I do. I’m a raw chef, a wellness coach.

Retired a few years ago due to personal circumstances and this has opened up time in a lot of areas I've yearned to explore, particularly art and now a relationship.
While not big on labels, I am an INTJ on the Myers Briggs, if that helps.
I am very grounded and enjoy simple things in life such as nature, walks, drives, flea markets, learning new stuff, gadgets, international travel etc... these intrigue me more than the materialism corporate lifestyle offered in a past life.

My pics are recent! I look like my pictures!
I am friendly ,a mixture of social and introvert . I feel content spending time on my own , since it helps me finding balance . This doesn't mean I don't need anyone, because I do . We all need people in our life to connect, and support each other
I Like intelligent conversations as much as playfulness ,and silliness.

Communication is very important it helps to clarify, and understand where one is coming from .
Otherwise, fear of communication could lead to assumption, taking things too personal, resentment, and letting the false ago ruin something that it was / is beautiful.
I truly want to find a loving intimate love, so we can support, and uplift each other .
Platonic friends are welcome as well .
Buti am not interested in PayPal .
I actually love to connect by phone conversations .

I am a deeply feeling, compassionate, responsible person, concerned about others, human and animal. An artist/musician/writer, and spiritual, but not religious.

Intelligent, creative, down-to-earth, witty, open-minded (yet having definite opinions), athletic, in shape, honest, faithful, non-materialistic, sensitive, 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 and I'm teaching snowboarding and skiing in the winter. 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, 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.

Aloha,

I am a long term ethical Vegan.

I am a good and decent Raw Vegan man. I am fit, active, athletic, fun, funny, warm, adventurous and sane.

Cycling, hiking, camping, kayaking, and sailing are favorite activities (no, I do not own a boat).

My spiritual pursuits include Kirtan, singing bowl meditations, yoga, and sweat lodges.

I am respectful, kind, compassionate, loyal, honest and passionate.

I am living the dream in an off grid cabin in the jungle and eating a lot of fruit.

I am looking for friendship and intimacy with a like minded Vegan woman.

In short, I'm a knight searching for my Queen. The One that I am happy to serve, worship, and obey for the rest of my days. Flowers and poems are a nice touch but at the end of the day, the only things I really have to give the woman in my life are my masculine presence, my undivided attention and loyalty, my protection, my emotional connection, my respect, and all of my love. With only these simple gifts, I will fill your cup to overflowing. No, I don't drive a muscle car or watch sports on TV. Yes, I am for real, and if these words scare you, prepare to be liberated from the old patriarchial paradigm. The future is feminine and now is the time.

On the practical side, I have achieved financial independence and am now looking to enjoy the finer things in life. Personality outranks age and geography so I'm open to relocating to be with the love of my life. I haven't met her yet but if you're veggie or vegan, high-functioning, and have a clue about life, I will respond to your note of interest. Our future together will include lots of soul-baring intimacy, laughter, gardening, travel, art, and possibly rescue dogs or foster children.

I'm certified as a yoga instructor, F.A.S.T. Defense instructor, and NLP Master Practitioner. I stay fit with lots of activities from swimming and kayaking to kettlebell and chopping wood so don't let my age scare you off... and on a related note: Aint no problem babe. Thanks to good genes and clean living, my plumbing is in good order and my flag raises every morning.

Now that I've piqued your interest, see if you meet my requirements below.
