There is so much that I want to experience in this life. I have an innate curiosity about people and love hearing their stories which lends well to my chosen career. I feel lucky to have a meaningful career that is constantly teaching me what is important and how to live my best life. For my 40th birthday I walked the Camino de Santiago by myself, 480 miles across Spain. I try to take risks and push myself out of my comfort zone. I guess these are reasons why I am here, simply waiting for the right companion to come along does not seem to be working for me so I think it is time to take more risk in this area of my life. I'm looking for someone with shared values, interests and attraction (chemistry). Having different interests makes it fun too. I'd like to be with someone who will introduce me to new music, want to go to Austin, TX one of these days. I have an ecclectic taste in music, listen to most everything except heavy metal, rap and Kenny G. As for my dating style, I am not someone who likes to be together all the time, I need a fair amount of space in a relationship, especially since my work is pretty emotionally intense. I am an introvert so alone time, walks in nature and yoga are ways that I recharge. I am comfortable in my own skin and pretty independent. I've been told that I am too picky but I'd rather be single than settle for an unhappy relationship. I love doing just about anything outdoors and don't mind getting dirty. I like to cook meals together with a glass of wine and a new recipe, but to be perfectly honest, I enjoy having someone cook for me even more. I'll take care of the cleanup. And if you can fix things and teach me how to fix things and have an interest in doing home improvement projects together, wow I'd love that! I am technologically challenged, have rabbit ears and only one remote control for the t.v.. I tend to attract men who prefer naturally attractive women. I like window shopping but get stressed out by malls, especially the parking lots. My shopping style is to go in, get help finding what I need and get out. I enjoy getting dressed up when the occassion calls for it. I like planning big trips with some kind of adventure like biking, hiking, skiing or kayaking. I have a long list of relaxing weekend getaway trips I'd like to take. I love road trips. I also appreciate the simple things like relaxing on the couch watching a movie, breakfast in bed with a good book, a walk with my dog, sleep, thought provoking conversation and sitting in the sun in my backyard listening to the birds. There is just one thing missing in my life...
