I have a passion for dancing (ballroom mostly)...also like to cook and enjoy entertaining family and friends. Italian and French foods are my favorites, but also like many other cuisines. I love to travel and have lived in Portugal many years ago...have travelled to Spain, Paris and Switzerland and would like to go to Italy next. I have a good sense of humor and love to laugh...it's food for the soul. I am a very social person...an optimist and like to be with positive people. I live in the present and have a joy for living. I am in excellent health and enyoy exercising and aerobics which I have recently started again. My taste in music is very eclectic. To relax, I like to read.

On a first date, I would enjoy having dinner and good conversation that includes laughter...dancing would be a positive plus, but not mandatory.
