Hi. Never done this internet dating thing before but I'll give it a go. I'll try anything once. Within reason of course :)

OK, here goes. What can I tell you about me?

I'm really into music. I play acoustic guitar, piano and even the didgeridoo of all things! - which I picked up when living in Australia for a while. I listen to all sorts of stuff and have time for anything good. Not a fan of things made entirely on a computer and am not really into the club scene. I prefer a more relaxed atmosphere where you can talk or catch a live band.

I can't get enough of the great outdoors - hiking in the mountains or pretty much anything to do with the sea, especially scuba diving. I recently took up snowboarding and am totally loving it!!

I've been fortunate enough to travel in many countries and plan to see a lot more in the future. I am fascinated by experiencing other cultures and will never get tired of meeting new and interesting people.

I love pretty much all animals, especially dogs although I don't have one (yet). I just can't resist saying hello to any dog I happen to meet and could roll around in the dirt for hours playing games with them. At the moment I just have pet fish - but they're cool too.

I enjoy the challenge of cooking - but wish I was better at it. But I do make pretty good pizza!

I'm a hard worker, focused on getting ahead in my job and believe in doing the best I can in all things. But at the same time I also like chilling out, watching movies and relaxing with a cold beer on a hot day. I have a healthy sense of humour, can make people laugh and am very down to earth. And I can teach you kick-boxing if you're interested!

Anything else? Oh yes, I'm originally from London, UK. I moved to Vancouver about a year ago. I love this city!

What am I looking for? Someone who is fun, kind, affectionate, down to earth, has a sense of humour and loves animals. Who likes to experience new things, new places and have adventures. Someone who will tell me if my cooking sucks but who appreciates the effort. A passion for music and the outdoors is a definite plus, as is enjoying staying in on a rainy evening with a movie and glass of wine. Basically someone to enjoy life with. Not too much to ask?

Look forward to hearing from you! Any questions please just ask away.

Depends on the weather. If a nice day then maybe a walk somewhere (if you have a dog feel free to bring him/her along) or something else outside. If weather not so good then just something that allows us to get to know each other. I'm open to suggestions.
