Hello everyone who visits me. You already have some information. But I guess I can try as best I can to verbalize what I'm looking for in a relationship at this stage in my life.

I look for integrity in a man whether he be a friend or a lover. I look for qualities such as kindness, generosity of spirit, energy, a sense of humour. I can promise the same in return. I also would like us to feel genuine affection for one another after getting to know each other for a while of course.

I am a homebody at heart but I love to travel and have done so extensively in my life. Being now retired from the federal government, I plan on taking courses such as painting, photography, law, salsa and mambo for an upcoming trip to Costa Rica, and I need to brush up on my spoken Spanish for that trip as well.

I like to take hikes in the Gatineaus on a Sunday afternoon or stay in and watch movies. A nice meal once in a while is nice especially if followed by lively conversation. A weekend at the cottage...

So, if anything I've said interests you and you would like to know more, please contact me and I will respond.
