***** UPDATE ---- ok , i've been on here for quite a while ( too long !!! ) and i've been on a few dates , and even had a relationship for two months with a very nice girl too ... ( so maybe this site can actually work !!!??? )

.... but during the last few months i've been on a few more dates , and it seems that i'm probably not going to meet the right person on here ... ???

i would love to meet someone special to share my life with ..... but it hasn't quite happened yet !!

so , now i've decided to go off again on my travels ... i'm heading on another huge trip of a life-time ( as i have most winters for the last 20 years !!! )
i'm off to south east asia and china for the next ?? months !!!
flying to thailand on 5th january , then gradually travelling through cambodia , laos , vietnam and china ... to beijing ( where some friends of mine are getting married in the spring )

then i hope to travel back via the trans-siberian railway , from china , via mongolia , siberia and russia / moscow ...

back to europe next spring / summer .. ??

so , there we go ...

anybody like to come with me !!!?????
you've got one month to let me know if you want to join me !!!!!
start packing !!! *****

hi .. well , if you are wondering what i am doing in my profile picture ... i am eating a piece of natural sugar cane , in a small village in the indian himalayas .
..... and thats someone elses laundry !!

hello ...... i am looking for a really nice girl-friend ...

someone to share lots of great times with ... going for walks and pic-nics ,
going away for weekends and holidays ...

....... and being a close and loving couple ...

i have been very lucky to have enjoyed lots of experiences so far in my life ...
i've travelled around the world and done lots of interesting things / activities / adventures .. etc ..
i've worked mainly as an outdoor activity instructor , seasonally in UK/europe for most of my working life . then i've travelled each winter to different parts of the world . which was great !!! like a 20 year gap year !!!!
..... now i've decided that its perhaps time to settle down for a little while .. and return home , spend some time with my family and put down some roots ..
so we shall see how that goes !!

i do still have that adventurous and fun-loving spirit in me , but i would like to meet someone special to settle down with , and share my life with ...
..... and maybe sometimes we could go on some little adventures , too !!!
..... and some great holidays ...
..... and enjoy everything in life together ..

i enjoy sharing time with someone special ... cooking a delicious meal together , a glass of wine , cuddling up on the sofa ...
going for walks , pic-nics , days out , holidays , etc , etc ..

i would really like to meet someone to share my love , and my love of life with ...
could it be you ?? i hope so ... !!!!

*** update - i have a dream !!!!! yes , what i would really like to happen , is this ....
to meet my someone special , and for the two of us to travel (indefinately ?)
together , moving around europe ( summer ) and the rest of the world ( winter )
working / staying on help exchange locations , working seasonally , organic farms , etc ...
yes , it is possible , as ive done lots of it before .. i would love to go on this wonderful journey , but i really would like a partner to join me ...

what a beautiful life-style .. complete freedom to roam and enjoy everything the world has to offer !!!! ***

well ... as i am such a gentleman ... i will let you choose ... !!

( a ) go for a stroll , then sit down somewhere nice , like a bar or a cafe , for a drink and a chat ..

( b ) super-market trolley racing in asda car park

( c ) a 24 hour scrabble marathon for charity

( d ) dress up as super heroes and run up and down the high street shouting " yadel "
