I enjoy a man who's going to push me to my limits and then pull me back with a warm hug at the last minute. I love funny guys who can hold me spellbound with a story or make me laugh until I cry. I also love intellect and passion. The right man not only fascinates me but also brings out the best in me. If you're comfortable in your own skin, have a strong sense of self and aren't afraid to expose your flaws, I'm sure we'll get along just fine.

I definitely have an adventurous streak -- whether it's trying out an exotic recipe in the kitchen, hiking with my dog or traveling the world. I have travelled to 16 different countries and there is a lot of the world left to discover. One of my dream trips is to backpack through Malaysia. The other is to take the Orient Express from Paris to Venice to Budapest, then relax on a Greek island with nothing but sunscreen.

I have a very curious mind about everything. Sex with the right person, is like art, an endless discovery. A long walk with the dog will always turn a frown upside down. Oysters and martini's are always appropriate. A cup of tea makes most things better. Self-improvement should always be work in progress.

I have a great job which has been very good to me. To indulge my need for a mid-life career change without change and satisfy my passion for nice things I have started a jewellery business on the side.

Hockey is a big part of my life. It would be a bonus if you know the rules of the game....because I could use some help with all those hand signals.
