I am a recent transplant from Chicago to Venice Florida. Having lived in a very cold climate during the winter months, (and if you have ever spent a winter in Chicago, you know cold winters) I have decided that I prefer to live 12 months a year outside. I am drawn to sunshine, water, happiness, lack of all drama and simply a positive outlook to spending the rest of my life. I have successfully tackled a great many challenges in both my personal and career life, and now want to just slow down to smell those roses I've heard so much about while enjoying everything that my new move offers me.

I would like to spend an afternoon or evening outside enjoying the natural elements that Florida offers. Watching a sunset across the gulf or walking on the beach. A lively cafe of dining al fresco. I am not a huge fan of large crowds and am not greatly competitive although I never shun a challenge. I would only enjoy spending this time with someone that is honest and respectful and pretty much void of any and all baggage. We all have issues, but how we address and deal with those issues is hugely important to me.
