I'd describe myself as an attentive conversationalist, curious about people and life, creative, adventuresome, and sociable. No, don't own a Jaguar or villa in Monte Carlo to share, but am ambitious, thrive on challenge, and love operating on calculated risk. Am also a hopeful romantic and inspired by the heartfelt efforts, remedies, and stamina of others. Am affectionate, treasure close bonds, but am respectful of personal boundaries.

I'm grateful for good health, close relations, the ability to support myself, and the potential of being a life-long learner, which is my passion, along with my teaching, writing, and artwork. I love the excuse to visit friends scattered about the globe, to travel, explore, and converse with people who cross my path, students, colleagues, and neighbours. I lived in Barcelona for 15 years, and became inspired by the language, gestures, expressions, and sensuality of Spanish culture. Have been very fortunate here and am enamored with the Garden City of Victoria.

Courtesy makes me smile, witty logic and sense of humor. At best blunders are laughable so enjoy someone in my corner, and would like to reciprocate this. Tenderness and sensuality are also important traits, and am searching for that special man who has the desire to be treasured.

A perfect date might include red wine, provocative conversation, and to simply share time in the company of someone who makes it easy to be expressive, and is comfortable with themselves. I'm a bit of a flirt, enjoy banter and appreciate the same.
