I like a healthy balance between work and my personal life. But it goes without saying at the moment, the personal life could be more fulfilling with someone to share it with.

I enjoy being active and also the moments of being totally casual. I enjoy hiking/walking, biking, any water related activity, and especially scuba diving. (Although I have not dove in tropical waters. Maybe I will take a trip down south and forget to come home. ) I swim and hike to stay in shape.

On the leisure side, I enjoy many types of music, reading, and studying history. I especially enjoy wine tasting and matching food and wine. travelling is always great, and I try to take time to see sites whenever I travel on business.

The person I would like to meet would have some common interests and some different ones too (to keep things interesting). Good communication skills, self-confidence, and a sense of humour would be nice. I believe that the more you freely contribute to a relationship, the more you will get back out of it.

For a first date, I would like to keep it relaxed and in a quiet environment so we could talk. Sitting over a coffee or a glass of wine would be great. That would be followed by a walk to continue the discussion. Hopefully where there is something nice to see.
