I'm a half-German, half-American guy, currently living in London.

Hard to sum oneself up in a few paragraphs - best to have a proper conversation, e.g. chat, phone or in person.

====================

I guess my profile is in need of a little update:
Here's what I've learned about myself during the last few months - maybe it'll help finding the right match...:

I have somewhat of an idea of what I'm looking for in a relationship, and equally what I'm not looking for (read on and you'll get the picture)... BUT... I don't have a specific "type". I'm pretty tolerant and honest, and in return I ask for an equal amount of tolerance and honesty.

I'm economical, i.e. I think twice before I spend, I prefer backpacking over five-star resorts, etc... BUT... I'm generous - I like inviting people out, going on long holidays and treating myself as well as my significant other. (Ever read "The Four Hour Work Week"? You don't have to be a millionaire to live the lifestyle of a millionaire...)

I'm well-organised. I tend to live a busy and active life, so good planning makes the most of each day... BUT... I can also be very spontaneous, and I enjoy living day by day - e.g. showing up at the airport and booking a ticket on the next available flight (previously: Jakarta, Amsterdam, Nice, Orlando, Paris, Geneva, NYC).

Looks matter - especially on an online dating site like this one (bonus points for tall and fit)... BUT... if you consider yourself high maintenance and don't feel comfortable leaving home without excessive make-up once in a while, then I may not be the right guy for you.

I'm happy with my life as it is, i.e. I'm not desperately looking for a relationship... BUT... the best things in life are even better when shared. And I would eventually like to find someone to share my life with. So if you've read this far and feel the same way, then get in touch!

For work? I sit in front of a computer screen (don't we all?). Sometimes my work involves shouting and gesturing, especially when the markets are in turmoil, but that's all part of the job. And from time to time I'm paid to travel and party :)

When I'm not working, I love to travel, for a weekend in Europe, or backpacking across Asia, Africa or America. When I'm in London, I enjoy gigs, time with friends, walks in the park, hanging out at a local cafe having soy latte and home-made carrot cake! I also enjoy a quiet night in from time to time.

If you really want to find out more about me, ask me for my last name and look me up on facebook or google+.

Being spontaneous!

My smile? (Or so I'm told)

Too many favourites to mention.

Music - mostly anything, from Aretha Franklin to Pink Floyd, from Marley to Mozart. Most of all jazz though, as I enjoy playing it.

Food - I've been mostly vegetarian for the last ten years or so, but that doesn't mean I'm not adventurous when it comes to food.

Just got back from a number of unplanned trips without any luggage and these are what I relied upon the most:

1) Smartphone (Android all the way)
2) Passport (in order to get past immigration)
3) Enough cash or credit cards to get me through the day (mainly for food and drink, but a dry place to sleep helps)
4) Toothbrush (twice a day)
5) Change of underwear (for obvious reasons)
6) House keys (in case I ever make it back home)

... oooh, donuts!

No, but seriously... I've been thinking about change for a while - either a career change, or taking a sabbatical and travelling the world. I may not end up doing anything radical, possibly just taking on a new hobby or doing the things I've been wanting to do...

... either recovering from a long week in the office or on the road, having an early night in.

Or I'm ready to hit the town with my friends. I love exploring familiar and unfamiliar parts of London. Any recommendations?

I have a pair of leather pants (Lederhosen), which I wear to the Oktoberfest once a year. Check out the photo in my gallery!

Also, I think I've figured out what I'm on here for. I'm looking to meet someone with a good heart, the education, humour, optimism, looks, spontaneity and energy to make me want to leave my single life behind. How will we know if it'll work out? We won't unless we try. Until then I'm hoping to meet interesting and fun people here and have a good time...

... you are interested in finding out more about myself, and want to meet up with me.
After all, life is only half the fun when you're not sharing it!

Also, if you've read this far, would you mind sending me a quick message, regardless of whether you're interested or not. I'd just like to find out if you think I'm doing anything wrong...
