I am a 46-year-old teacher and generally nice person looking for someone to hike/travel/spend time with. If something more comes out of it, that is great, but I am happy just finding friendly interesting people to hike with and who enjoy exploring the world, both close to home and far away.
I have spent my entire life connected to the outdoors, growing up with camping trips out west during the summer. In college I studied geology degree and found a calling teaching science to teenagers. Recently I have been putting time into hiking, travelling (Iceland this year), X-country skiing, disc golf, poetry and a new interest in photography. I am willing and excited to try new activities and visit new places. I am an introvert who does not like crowds but enjoys being around and getting to know people. I need time occasionally to be away from people to recharge.
My life went through a major change a few years back when my wife unexpectedly passed away. At this point I am refocusing and building up my new life. Finding again things that I love (like the outdoors), discovering new interests and finding new people to share the future with. If you might want to be a part of this then let us chat and find something to do together.
