Love LIFE and believe in positive thinking - inhale blessings and exhale gratitude is my belief! Have a teaching and research background and now use these skills in an advisory capacity in a local government position. I believe that a job does not define you so the REAL things I want you to know about me are as follows: I believe in being grounded within one's family and investing time to make these quality and lasting relationships. I adore making new friends, LOVE to laugh and crack jokes and am very sociable, love to go out to dinner and drinks, LOVE the arts and music scene, visiting museums, galleries, concerts, festivals, seafood, hangi, community debates, environmental issues, poetry - spoken word and creative writing. I love engaging with open-minded and articulate people who can feed my mind and challenge my perceptions. Education is important to me but rather than just quals, having life experience is equally important. I delight in visiting beautiful places to discover their hidden gems and history - My favourite thing to do is to spend time with friends and family preferably near water as I love swimming - beaches, rivers, lakes or pools - you'll find me in the water!
I am looking for someone who is generally of a content disposition - this is my number 1 requirement - I'm an independent and free-spirited so will need someone who is emotionally secure and is prepared to have a trusting friendship or relationship. My extended family is vital to my well-being, hence someone who is family-orientated is essential. I have many friends and need someone who can accept the wealth they bring into my world without playing the jealous game all day, every day - my motto is: "If I'm yours, I'm yours - just trust". I am also looking for someone who is open to diversity - disabilities, culturally, status - all of these things are only a thin veneer to the beauty within and I need to be with someone who can recognise that in people and duly accept them. I am a firm believer in social justice and am always prepared to fight for the underdog. I am looking for someone who is financially secure and is prepared to meet me half-way if we go out to dinner etc...I also would like to meet someone who is adventurous, up for a good time and is prepared to reciprocate. Reciprocity enables appreciation and appreciation enables loyalty and that is the true breeding foundation for any type of relationship or friendship. Get in touch - you've got nothing to lose and at the very least possibly a new friend to meet? Look forward to hearing from people who are like-minded - let's get connected:)
