I am 6'1", 205 lbs., dark hair and eyes, have been lucky to travel and/or live in over 70 countries -- I think that different experiences are more valuable than anything and that memories last a heck of a lot longer than a new couch:) Just looking to meet someone who has adventure in their heart and wants to take the world on head-on without fear or hesitation ...

A few other details about me. I used to be a kindergarten school teacher, but became a backpacker and now an attorney. I have written and published a few books, one fiction and one non-fiction. And I was stupid enough to stay in New Orleans when Katrina hit, allowing me to have a new experience I probably could've done without. I enjoy hearing about the life experiences and stories of others. Like to hear about yours, actually ...

As for the woman I am looking for, I'd like someone who laughs easily, doesn't take herself too seriously, can see the good in most people and situations and who can, at the very least, act interested whenever I talk about sports (actually liking them is a huge bonus). Oh, and of course, she loves to travel.

There is no "typical" first date -- just getting to know one another, whatever form it takes, will put a smile on my face, and hopefully yours ...
