Hello, Hola, Bonjour, Hallo, Ciao, Kia Ora, Sawa Dee, Aloha,
Salaam, Shalom and Namaste!
I'm here in search of friendly folks to do fun things with, such
as: hiking, camping, traveling, sharing some tea &/or (vegan!)
food, watching a movie,
snuggling, or *YOUR IDEAS HERE*! If
something "more" develops between us - great! If you are simply
looking to be "just friends", that can be quite nice too. Let's
just be ourselves, get to know each other and see where this leads
us!
While open to different possibilities, I am most interested in
finding someone to share a deep, intimate and lasting relationship
with. Please note that I am *not* interested in
legal/religious/"traditional" marriage.
I greatly enjoy physically expressing affection but I also tend to
be somewhat reserved so please feel free to take the
initiative!
I've had a
vegan
diet since I was 15 and I do not foresee being in a lasting
intimate relationship with someone who is not vegan or quite close
to it.
While I'm not "
straight edge", if drugs of any
non medically needed sort are a major part of your life then
sharing much time together will probably be mutually frustrating.
And yes - alcohol, tobacco and "herbal" drugs are still drugs by my
definition.
My wonderful children live with their mother and I am with them
daily or near daily. If you and I share much time together then you
will almost certainly get to know my kids. That said, I am not
expecting or asking for you to be another parent. On a closely
related note, my
vasectomy is about 6 years old. I love
my children and children generally but I do not wish to help create
any more.

Collecting and using
coupons. Playing tour guide: I enjoy
showing folks around my city/region ( Portland, Oregon /
Cascadia ) but I research
just about everywhere I go & often find cool places/stuff even
most locals don't know about!
Physically I'm told that I have great legs and a nice ass, as well
as kind eyes.
Words I've heard used to describe my personality include: fun,
down-to-earth, kind, relaxed, sarcastic in a good way and a good
listener.
Books: Mostly non-fiction and mostly travel or "how-to"
guides.
Movies:
Tillsammans aka Together,
28 Days Later,
Everything is Illuminated, Lord Of The Rings, Foxfire, Panther,
Shaun of the Dead, Drugstore Cowboy, Man On Fire, Salt Of The
Earth,

Music: Manu Chao,
Dead Silence, Los Crudos,
Contropotere, Dead Prez, The Coup, Casey Neill, Tch-Kung!, David
Rovics, The Knife, Akil Ammar, Sin Dios. In general, I like music
that makes me feel and/or that has a positive message.
Food: I'll try almost any
vegan food at least once but I
generally prefer wild, raw, local,
organic,
natural foods. I'm particularly
fond of
blueberries,
watermelon, fresh multi-colored
salads,
hemp foods,
dark chocolate with nuts,
kombucha,
Yerba Mate,
Thai,
Vietnamese,
Mexican,
Ethiopian,
Greek and
Lebanese.
finding a wonderful friend and sweetie to share fun adventures
with, traveling - regionally & worldwide, what it would be like
to live in other countries, education/training & gear that I'd
like to have...
I tend to be more motivated and active when I have someone to
share/do/be with...
You've read my profile and think that we'd enjoy each others
company. Also message me if there is anything that you'd like to
know about me that I haven't yet covered here.
