Date women from United States / California / Playa del Rey, 56 year old

Date someone special from Playa del Rey, United States. I have a great life (I know, everyone says that, right?). However, what is most satisfying is to share it with someone special.
I'm creative and curious, light-hearted and serious, passionate and practical, and I find many things to laugh about during the course of the day.
I am a lover of travel and exploration, learning about other cultures excites me, and my bags are usually packed and ready to go out for an adventure, whether near or far.
I'm curious about people and what makes them tick and am thrilled whenever I can help someone evolve.
If you have an appreciation of art and beauty, the human psyche and philosophy, we will have much to talk about. If you are passionate and principled, communicative and kind, we will have even more. The rest we can figure out along the way....
Life is in the experience, not the description and I am definitely open to experience as much as possible. Maybe we can do it together?

Meet a soulmate from Playa del Rey, United States. ItРІР‚в„ўs more difficult to write a profile than I thought. Some of you do a great job!
So, I will try. I am generally easy to amuse, and appreciative of my friends. IРІР‚в„ўm interested in meeting someone who has a variety of interests, is kind, affectionate, with integrity, and a sense of humor. IРІР‚в„ўm looking for someone who feels settled in life, and has worked things out for the best or is continuing to do so.
Several years ago, I returned to school for a graduate program in urban planning-which I enjoyed because it covered a wide range of topics ranging from statistics to policy to architecture. Also, itРІР‚в„ўs one of the few programs that mesh well with a humanities B.A. At present, I do a lot of nonprofit and volunteer urban planning work (in addition to work in another area).
My “favorite things” and “for fun” lists show interest in culture and art, and the outdoors. But I also enjoy sharing in friends’ interests and new experiences. For example, reading through my profile, you might not think I’d like to attend a Dodgers game or an Angels game, but I would!
A typical weekend for me could be a movie or dinner with friends on Friday night, regrouping on Saturday morning, going to a farmers market or the gym, or biking or walking on the beach (here in Playa del Rey, we are all within a 10 minute walk to the beach), a visit with friends or family. Relaxed but productive is always a good theme.
Essentially, IРІР‚в„ўm looking for a nice guy to share time with.
P.S. This is a relatively new profile. Will be adding more photos soon! My current profile photo was taken just after my birthday in April 2012. My age as shown is accurate - it's not been optimized for search purposes.
