Have you ever wondered? Isn't there more to dating than boring dinner and a movie dates and meaningless boring conversations? Hi, I'm Vlad and welcome!!! A little about me, I am originally from the warm and beautiful city of Odessa -- the pearl by the Black Sea, which means that I am a warm romantic and spicy person. I believe that life is all about the simple pleasures, the excitement and experiences. An opportunity to capture and share good food, good drink, good company, and from time to time some mischievous fun :) I consider myself an idealist and pragmatist. Head strong, at times argumentative, but my best disposition is my never-ending quest to find and share knowledge. I value being different and not a follower. I believe laughter is the medicine of the soul and I take it with me everywhere I go...yes, indeed the people of Odessa are famous for their sense of humor. I believe life is what you make of it, and no situation gets me down...not for long anyway You’ll find my personality to be highly paradoxical – a complex combination of deep reflection and intuition, candid thoughts and carefree expressions, youthful ambitions and experiental wisdom. I freely admit that I've always been attracted to interesting, confident women that are passionate about life. I tend to be attracted to women in large part because of not only physical attraction but intellectual appreciation. I love to travel! Traveling is an aphrodisiac. Whether its local or overseas, the excitement of a new place always stimulates my senses. Taking in and being a part of all the world has to offer, the different Cultures, the Hotels, the Food...yes, especially the food and a bottle of Rum :) !!! There are so many uncharted territories within the individual that are almost impossible to explore given the constraints of this website. So why don't we get to know each other?
