I'm currently living in Madeira, Portugal even though I am originally from the UK and will be returning early in 2010. I'd love to eventually settle down overseas, with the odd UK shopping trip every now and again.

One of my passions is music and I have a very ecclectic collection from Stevie Wonder, Luther Vandross and Fleetwood Mac to more current bands and artists such as The Killers and even have the odd trashy pop song. My guilty pleasure is listening to Girls Aloud!

I think that I'm good fun to be around, although I do have quite a sarcastic and dry sense of humour. My favourite comedian is Eddie Izzard and one day I'll hopefully get the chance to see him perform live.

I'm a very loyal person and once someone has gained my trust I am on their side for the long haul. I'm very expressive, I talk with my hands and I find it very difficult to hide my emotions, my eyes always give it away.

I'm looking for a man who is comfortable in his own skin and who will treat me with the respect and consideration I deserve. Being quite tall myself and a big lover of heels you're going to have to be in the 6ft region to not look a bit odd next to me!

Thanks for reading this far and have fun xxx

I would love to be taken to a nice restaurant for dinner and conversation and then maybe a walk through Funchal to a bar for a drink.

Alternatively the Madeirans love to go for a coffee (which inevitably means beer) so maybe we could go local!
