PLEASE READ MY PROFILE BEFORE CONTACTING ME! I am in SE Asia from September through the end of January (2015). I will visit Cambodia, Laos, Vietnam, Indonesia, Singapore, and Thailand (NOTE: SORRY, BUT I WILL NOT BE GOING TO THE PHILIPPINES OR CHINA). I also apologize about my age, as I incorrectly entered it. I am 59. All of my photos have been taken in the last 12 months.
I like to travel and do volunteer work. I retired almost 9 years ago, so I am fortunate to be able to have the freedom to do what I want and go where I want. Earlier this year, I spent 2 months in Vietnam. Last year, I took a 5 month round the world (RTW) back pack trip, where I visited 10 countries. This was a life changing experience. I did a similar 3 month plus trip in 2012 - exploring Central and South America.
I believe people/memories are far more important then money and material things. I am quite spontaneous and rarely plan anything I do. In fact, one of my favorite quotations is, "The happiest and most successful people are those that have a Plan B."
I live in Denver, Colorado, but most of my family is in the San Francisco bay area and I go there often. I have lived in Hawaii and Europe (Great Britain) and have relatives in Spain, where I have also traveled. I'm honest and loyal to a fault and if I fancy you, I won't play games or hard to get. Also, I do not drink or smoke.
This is a dating site, not a marriage site. So many people are confused about this. Almost like they think this is a mail order bride service. LOL. If marriage is your expectation - then you have the wrong guy. However, if you are looking for a friend FIRST, then perhaps some day our relationship may develop where love . . . and even marriage is possible. In other words, do not contact me if that is your ONLY goal and motivation for being on this site.
This is also very important, so please read this before messaging me - Do not contact me if you do not have multiple photographs of yourself, preferably photos that have not been modeled or done with a professional photographer. I am interested in "real people." Do not ask for money, because I will delete you and possibly report you. I will also report you for abuse if you try to lure me off this site by asking me to chat with you on another site or request that I contact your email address. Why would I leave this site to chat, email or text, when I can do the same thing here? If you ask this, YOU ARE A SCAMMER AND I WILL REPORT YOU. If you are from anywhere else other than the South East Asia area, Canada, or the United States, I will probably not be interested. Keep it real and we will get along. Thank you for reading this.
