I'm a middle aged American expatriate working in Europe. I'm not the "hunk" type, but I stay physically active and it shows. You might say "high mileage, well maintained."

I love travel and new experiences, but I find I also have a growing desire to nest. There are still a million things on this planet I want to see, and even more I want to revisit.

I like good food and will try anything once but reserve the right to not pretend to like it if I really don't. I love accoustic guitar and candlelight.

I enjoy hiking and camping - have to get outdoors once in a while so I don't go nuts. Or maybe that should be "nuttier".

On a BDSM spectrum I'd fall somewhere near the middle, a sWiTcH who enjoys both roles too much to give either up. I love to give and receive sensations - like massage or thorough bondage (or both at the same time).

I'm not terribly religious. I'm open minded and liberal on social issues and somewhere to the right of Darth Vader on defense, and I don't think that either Bush or Kerry is a good choice (and I hate lesser-of-two-evils elections). I drink on occasion, and regularly try to quit smoking.

I'm looking for a lady with similar tastes and interests. The only hard and fast requirement I can think of is a sense of humor; I try very hard not to take anything (particularly myself) too seriously.
