In His Own Words
About him
Like many men who have seen the decades fly by, I have a range of interests like traveling, enjoying good food (whether prepared by me or others), walking the countryside, going to the theater, listening to music, reading a good book, and so forth. I’m looking for a partner who will enjoy doing some of these activities with me as well as introducing me to activities that bring joy, happiness and fulfillment to her life. I also hope that she will enjoy cuddling and just listening to my stories, listening to music and watching our favorite and new movies as I will enjoy listening to and just being with her. I love strolling hand-in-hand “through meadows and along streams” to paraphrase a famous poet. I live in East Lansing Michigan. I have an active mind and still do some engineering consulting work. I have previously lived in NJ, NY, CA, WA, WY, TX, Canada (where I was born), England and India).
One plan that has passed through my mind is to rent a flat in several different locations that I believe may be interesting, staying at these locations for periods ranging from two weeks to perhaps even two months, using these as bases for exploration and enjoying what each region has to offer. Clearly, activities like this are much more enjoyable and fulfilling when shared. To give you an example, I have recently visited Portugal and spent perhaps a couple of days exploring several different places. I would like to return to a couple of these regions to enjoy them at a leisurely pace and get to know them better with a possible objective of finding a future part-time or full-time home. There are also other regions of Europe and Asia as well as US and Canada that I would like to get to know better; again, preferably with a travel partner whose company I enjoy and who enjoys my company.
We can start with short adventures and expand from there after you contact me.
About his ideal match
Most things under this topic are covered in the "Why should people get to know me" section above. In addition, my potential partner should like to travel not as a "tourist" but as an observer of humanity. Having some overlap in interests is great but I also want to learn about and have new times and adventures with my new partner and her interests. I do not want to spend endless hours exchanging thoughts with each other; a few hours on the phone getting to know each other is a good way to start but I would like to meet in person within no more than several months of us discovering each other here. I will get another photo to replace the current one that is 18 months old ... my hair is longer now!
