In His Own Words
About Him
If you're after a kiwi bloke - into fishing, rugby, beer ... save your time and check other profiles. I come from an education background - Initially primary teaching, then English Language teaching. I spent as much of my 35 years in education teaching overseas as I did in NZ. I'm an avid traveller, and at 61 have as much wanderlust as I did in my 20's (although it's business class rather than backpackers these days). My strongest affinity is for Asian cultures, particularly Buddhist cultures. I'm more into art than sports, although I exercise regularly (mostly walking, though yoga and mountain biking still feature) and have maintained a reasonable level of fitness. My reading for the last 20 years (at least) has been almost exclusively non-fiction, although a bit of Orwell or R.K. Narayan makes a nice break. I love cooking - mostly Asian (Indian & Thai) and Italian ... my pizzas are pretty good, even if I do say so myself. Musical tastes are best described as eclectic.
About His Ideal Match
If you're still reading this you probably fit (at least some of) the criteria. Obviously, like-minded, similarly inclined ... to travel, love Asian & Italian food, maintaining a healthy body and mind, EQ as important as (if not more than) IQ. Finding someone who is compatible across intellectual, emotional & physical domains is rather a tall order, maybe a rare occurrence. But some similarly shared experiences, backgrounds, proclivities ... would certainly be more conducive to the moment when you need nothing more than to be sitting on the sofa holding each others' hands.
