I am a very loyal, energetic, sympathetic person. I value friendships and experiences. I spend a lot of time solo doing outdoor activities but also enjoy doing things with others. I am not someone to deliver excuses or reasons why I can't do something but more often I look for the things that I can do within my own abilities and financial capabilities. I care about the world and my impact on it but choose to focus on what I can do vs. wasting energy on what I wish others would or would not do. I am interested in spending time with someone that is grounded and knows who they are, both their yin and their yang and can be honest about it. Direct honest communication is what I give and also what I want to receive in all my personal relationships. I have a dog and anyone that I am with must also love dogs, they are a huge part of my life. I love anything to do with water and mountains and have done many forms of outdoor recreation throughout my life but now focus mostly on hiking, fishing, swimming, motorcycles, and making things with my hands. I am a creative optimistic person and am looking for someone that possesses those qualities as well. I love to dance and see live music and also love to travel and explore cultures around the world. I used to speak Spanish very well but because of lack of practice now just speak enough to get by. I am interested in getting to know someone to build a passionate joyful relationship where we respect and honor each others differences as much as our similarities. It also must be known that I value alone time and sometimes I want to do things by myself. I spend little energy worrying about politics, the worlds problems, and things beyond my control and instead focus on the daily life in front of me and maximizing everything I can from it. I work in human services and take much joy in helping others. I accept all values of others even the ones I don't agree with because I am sympathetic to each individual mind and understand how one's unique life experiences can shape their view of the world. I am nearly 35 years old so I am past the stage of weekend flings but am willing to get to know anyone and see where it goes. Learning, work, and recreation occupy a lot of my life and I put a lot of energy into each so the person I am with must understand that I am loyal to those things as well and balancing a relationship with my passions and my work is something they'll have to do. Live the life you love, love the life you live, and gratitude for all experiences both good and bad.
