The mind is like a parachute, it works best when it is opened. I try to walk through life with my eyes and mind open to new experiences and interesting people. I prefer to meet someone younger.... young in spirit, heart and appearance.... someone who knows that the journey IS the destination, filled with good friendship, laughter, great communication and of course, intimacy. Don't misunderstand me. I'm not just looking for sex. There's more to it than that. A friend once broke up with her boyfriend because she said he didn't "cherish" her. Now I know what she meant. But... it needs to be mutual. Some favorite things: traveling on roads less traveled, canopy tours and rain forest hikes, being near water, actively staying fit. I'm a flexible city and country mouse. I enjoy the city- its excitement and cultural richness, as well as country life with its peace and serenity. My photos are recent . If you don't post a photo with your profile, don't expect a response. Let's keep our mysteries to the books we read. No cat allergies, please.

First dates always seem like an interview. Let's do something that will allow us to relax and not think about the fact that it's the first date. I'm open for suggestions as long as it's not your place or mine.
