I am an outgoing friendly happy, and sociable person yet I love some quiet time too. I am very down to earth, and a good communicator. I have lived a great life so far: travelled extensively, lived in another country, worked in different fields of work and more. I enjoy going away for a weekend to the beach or countryside to relax, visit markets, go bike riding, walking and exploring new places, or visiting wineries. I also enjoy being amongst a city with so much to offer, including great gardens, great coffee / hot chocolate, restaurants, bars, music, festivals, markets and much more. I enjoy trying different foods, and wines, which have been both my career and passion. I am just as happy at an inexpensive nice cafe as I am dressing up and visiting a nice restaurant. I also enjoy cooking a great meal at home or having a bbq. I love reading and learning new information: whether it be a book (about travel, biography, serial killer profiling and more), the weekend papers, the epicure, career. I am also active in a couple of sports that I enjoy. I am quite a strong, resilient, driven & positive person would love to share things with someone. I enjoy reading the weekend papers (or a good book when time), watching a good DVD or TV series, listening to music, and spending time with friends and above all a great partner.
