I am kind hearted and empathetic, and try to learn and correct my faults - everyone has them! I am educated, fit and active, love animals and nature, and activities outdoors, like kayaking, hiking, camping, and horse riding. I have travelled to many countries, but wish to do much more, and constantly try to improve my mind and learning. I am often called multi-talented, artistic, intelligent, and thoughtful. I am always learning something new and have a very wide range of interests and hobbies. I treat women as equals, and want a partner who will grow with me and face challenges together. I am not wealthy, but am financially responsible, and I consider experiences more important than possessions!

I look forward to your letters, and hope you have more to say than how romantic and pretty you are...life is full of challenges and hard times as well as good and easy ones. That is how we know the good from the bad, and both are necessary for each other. I want someone who will face both without flinching or doubts, committed to knowing one person for life.

I am very choosy, and want a woman of intelligence, who is independent, adventurous, curious about the world and others. Kindness is essential in my opinion, and never to be judgmental. Fitness and a love of nature, animals, and the outdoors are also my passions and I want someone who will share them. I want someone to be a true partner - not submissive, but neither overbearing. I admit when I am wrong and try to respect opinions of others even if I don't agree - and I wish for a woman who can do the same. I treat and respect women as equals. I believe experiences in life are more important than possessions and wealth, and I want a woman who shares that opinion. I don't want someone to be my servant, to look pretty like a model... no one can live on a diet of pure sugar and superficiality. I need someone who will challenge me to think and act, that I can respect, admire and learn from, as she does from me.
