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 in the 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.

Being a vegan has not been easy for me, and that's a dramatic understatement. My family was not accepting or understanding when I decided to adopt a vegan diet, and it's had lasting effects.
When I first began eliminating foods from my diet, my parents didn't know what to make of it. They thought I was crazy, and reacted with fear and hostility. They took me to psychiatrists who tried to discourage me from going vegan; I was banned from eating at the dinner table with my parents (I could only eat after my father was in bed); and other family members refused to speak/associate with me, afraid that my vegan "insanity" was contagious and they might catch it.
Perhaps worst of all, my parents, especially my mother, began controlling all aspects of my life. My mother has always been a "smother-mother," or "helicopter-mom" but after I finished high school and became a vegan, it became exponentially worse. She now controls about everything in my life, and it's absolutely suffocating. I'm not allowed to do anything or go anywhere without her permission.
But she thinks it's for my own good; that she's protecting me. She thinks, if left on my own, I'd never make it. That the world would eat me alive. Which is why I'm reaching out here: to try to connect with other vegans, hopefully find a soulmate, and escape from the unhealthy and soul-crushing authority of my parents.
And of course, I'm not perfect (that doesn't mean I stray from my veganism, which is incredibly important to me). I have flaws, and I want to be honest about them. I think it's only fair to any potential partner. I have depression (largely from the way people have treated me over the years, but it also runs in my family), as well as Obsessive Compulsive Disorder, which is an anxiety disorder (if you've ever watched the show "Monk," you might be familiar with it).
But that doesn't mean I'm not still a good person. I'm an introvert, sensitive, quiet, patient, and a good listener. I'm very low-key, and a home-body (yet in my current situation, I'm very lonely).
I'm trying to be a writer (short stories, novels, graphic novels, poetry), and am very much the artistic/intellectual type. I wanted to be an actor, but my parents forbade it. I also used to paint/draw, but my parents took away my art supplies, and now I just don't have the time anymore. I haven't had much luck in publishing, other than letters to the editor and a few online articles for an animal rights group.

I have many passions. I work in the health field. I love working with people who are wanting to make a positive change in their health. I am interested in doing more public speaking, and possibly creating a movie. I love the outdoors, am physically active, and play classical guitar. I would love to do more travelling. Spiritual growth is important to me. I am interested in questions about the meaning of life not just for me, but also for all of life.

I am a retired educator social worker and I am now working part ime as a yoga instructor with a private practice in counseling.
I am seeking like minded people for friendship and soul connection. I have always wanted to have a friend that likes to communicate on deeper levels of life. Communication is a must. I realized that I must connect with not only like minds but also people with similar dietary preferences. I enjoy sharing what is in the deep recesses of my heart.

I am happy. I would like to fall in love and add to my already amazing life.
Love my full life and my community. Hoping my match is within an 1 hour maximum radius.
I don't fuss much over nails, hair and make up. I like to look good naturally, be ready to go quickly and love getting my hands dirty. I like to dress up for special occasions.
My energy can be contagious and/or overwhelming and yet I require quiet down times, long country drives, cuddles on the couch.
I love walks/hikes outside, trails, mountains. I'm more a Lake and forest kinda of girl but will walk along a warm sandy beach just don't ask me to lay there for long. I'd rather explore the area, culture, history or do something fun and active.
I care about my health and my partner will also care about theirs. I’m not perfect and don’t expect that from my partner. We’ll be perfect for each other. Also won’t be put off by me being a vegan and ideally is also one.
Be smarter, kinder and better looking then me ;)
Appreciate my hard work and truly value our time together.

I took early retirement so I’ve time for long walks, growing plants, keeping honeybees, and pottery. Plants are my lifelong passion. Whenever seeds germinate or a cutting takes, I’m full of childish wonder. Bees are amazing too, someone remarked that they are my pets, I adore them and they would die without my care. Walks, I think, are best done accompanied by a dog. Mine died two years ago; now I’m looking for one to share.

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, 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. I work with special needs people in recreational, social, and athletic programs.
Forty 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 four years old, but I have not suffered any significant physical deterioration since they were taken.

I really enjoy being in nature, quite literally - barefoot hiking, swimming, exploring off the beaten trail. I have been known to crawl through brush and bracken to find that secret grove, beautiful waterfall, or epic view. I value the experience of life in all its diversity and strive to live in harmony. Kindness, patience, and tolerance are important to me as is adventure and family.
My home is off grid on the slopes of Mauna Kea overlooking the vast Pacific Ocean. I share a beautiful farm with 4 of my 5 children, my mother, and about 100 animals of all types. We have orchards, gardens, and pastures. I love and cherish my home and family - animals included and am grateful everyday to wake up the song of birds and the rustle of trees. It is a special place that I would love to share with the right person whose dreams align with mine.
Travel and adventure is also important to me. The farm and family is a lot of responsibility, so it is important to take the time to enjoy the freedom of exploration. I try to travel at least 3-4 weeks out of the year off island and also enjoy little mini vacations on island (staycations) where I typically camp.I even enjoy mentally traveling and am learning how to journey in the more shamanic traditions.
I am fascinated by spirituality, consciousness, and the body and how these interrelate with reality and the universe. These are some of my favorite topics and musings. I do not enjoy politics or current events much but history(herstory also) and storytelling in general is super enlightening.

1. Phrases I try to live by – “"Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover." and “If I am not a part of the solution, then I am a part of the problem.”
2. People usually first notice my eyes, then my energy. I’m also really good at making people feel welcome and included, and making them laugh.
3. I have a cat who I brought back from Alaska in 2006.
4. I read non-fiction primarily – Musicophilia, anything by Eric Schlosser etc
5. Highlights of 2020 so far have been going to Iceland in late February and still managing to get a few camping trips in this summer so far, even with the pandemic throwing us all a major curveball.
6. Jeff Buckley’s version of Hallelujah makes me stop in my tracks – every time.
7. I love Amazing Race, Seinfeld, It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia, and Flight of the Conchords. I also love movies like Shawshank Redemption, Good Will Hunting, Garden State, Field of Dreams, and documentaries.
8. I’m vegan and I love to cook vegan food for people, even if they don’t usually eat that way. I enjoy Thai, Indian, Mediterranean, Middle Eastern/Lebanese, Ethiopian, Sushi and the food carts we have in Portland!
9. I don’t want to live without: traveling, volunteering, friends/family, outdoors, passion/love, laughter
10. I spend a lot of time thinking about: What else should I experience/try? Where will my next trip be? All the good things in the world. How else can I make a difference – in a person’s life, as a consumer, for animals and the earth?

I prefer simple living and enjoying the flow of life in a sublime way - calmly and serenely, keeping the company of precious few or just myself. I do some yoga and a lot of walking and like to keep my body-mind clean. Spirituality is a big part of my life - the nonduality way. I value honesty, simplicity and kindness the most.
On a more subtle level I'd like to say I'm usually a calming and accepting presence. Having done quite a bit of shadow work I can relate to where people are coming from without judgement. It's not easy being human.
I guess at this age health becomes more and more important. I'm relatively healthy and have been putting an increasing effort in keeping it this way. This transaltes to eating healthy and detoxing the body regularly as well as moderate exercise and lately yoga. I also walk a lot, everywhere.

I do tend to stay home mostly, which I enjoy very much. Social outings are fine if the company is good. I am not materialistic, do not wear makeup or am much of a "consumer." That being said I do own a comfortable home with a little property.
Movies/shows/documentaries, walking/hiking and interesting conversations are a few things I enjoy doing. Most often I am found at home because my property has become a mini-sanctuary for several species of birds. Plus I share my home with several rescued cats, all of whom are fosters. I enjoy growing vegetables and fruit too. Very satisfying!
Good conversation is something I truly enjoy. Sadly, it is very difficult to find. I enjoy an exchange of ideas and sharing of philosophies, but people are too sensitive these days and are too easily offended to talk to if our positions differ, especially where I live as an atheist and vegan. I value rational thought and integrity very much.
Spending my time outside with my sanctuary residents and garden is fantastic. Plus it is so beautiful here and the weather is great. All of that being said, I have been taking in fewer rescues over the past few years in an effort to decrease the number in my sanctuary. I want my life to include more freedom and to save more money for my future. The plans for my future include travel to other sanctuaries and conferences. My efforts for animals will change to temporary fostering and transport to allow for this. I am also retired, but that could change if a great job came along or I really needed the money.
My serious side also involves maintaining my health. I earned my living as a pharmacist, but I am actually more of an anti-pharmacist. Prevention and acquiring good habits are the keys to a vital and long life. I worked in hospitals and know that western medicine plays an important role as well.
I take care to make environmentally-friendly choices when I shop and follow reduce/reuse/recycle as much as I can.
I was raised in Brooklyn, NY, lived in NJ and am now living in NM since 2004. The natural open spaces in NM are wonderful to me, but I also appreciate what cities have to offer at times.
Having a partner and a relationship where we really like and know each other, share our thoughts and ideas, care for one another and spend time being silly together would be wonderful!

Our Life would not be centered around working, but on living and enjoyment--being active in biking, hiking, kayaking, snow sports, or any combination involving exploration of culture and the world. I'm somewhat interested in volunteer work both inside and outside the USA. You can often find me on Westy ventures...use the search. ;-)

Hi. I am Marcus. I live in Melbourne , Australia. I am very fit and healthy. I am a good standard bike rider. Would love to go on bike rides with a partner. I can teach bike riding skills to novice riders , and also how to get fit. I also can do ballroom dancing to a good standard I love dancing specially Jive and Tango and Cha Cha, but many others as well. I can even teach dance to a potential partner. I enjoy travel. I go to Asia nearly every year and meet with other highly motivated vegans at a festival . I truly love helping others where I can. I help out at vegan outreach events. Naturally I love all animals. I have been a non meat eater for more than 30 years. I do not keep pets at home prefering to leave habitat for as many wild animals as possible.In my spare time, I attend animal activism events, and also financial support to local and international direct action. I like to attend Vegan restaurants in Australia and Thailand. Two I attend regularly are Rasayana in Pattaya and Bangkok and Good Souls Cafe in Chiang Mai. Where I live in Melbourne is a beautiful area with many Vegan restaurants close by. Melbourne is among the fastest growing Vegan cities in the world. I love travel , and specially in Asia and more particularly in Thailand. I enjoy teaching English to foreign students. I own a business and run it myself. I have a good understanding of subjects such as health and disease and feel I can speak authoritatively and passionately about these. All my shoes and belts and wallet etc are not made from leather. I have exclusively used these type of products for over 20 years. I am Very aware of and own books by early health pioneers like Herbert M Shelton from the US and Arnold Ehret from Germany and many others. I like making short movies and documentaries etc.
