Date women from Canada / Northwest Territories, 56 year old

Date someone special from Northwest Territories, Canada. I am interested in sharing some good laughs and experiences with a man that has lived his life too. There is so much that may have been very important when we were younger, yet now at this stage in our lives, is no longer of great significance. I am a kind, genuine, intelligent, passionate, independent woman who loves to travel ...white sand beaches and oceans in the winter months and anywhere else at any other time!!! It is an experience to meet new people, try different foods, red wines in particular, and one does not necessarily have to travel outside of the home in order to do that! I believe that if people are together because they want to be and not because of any other reason, you have the basis for a good relationship.I love where I work and live and would like to meet someone who can appreciate it also, however a distance relationship is alright too as my work takes me away from home a lot. I have a good sense of humour and love good conversations and discussions about just about anything. Different viewpoints and ideologies are ok but I do believe that an open mind and a willingness to accept can only go so far if there are major and fundamental differences between two people. I don't expect anyone to change who they really are, nor would I be willing to do the same. Honesty and integrity are essential qualities in any relationship for without them whatever develops is false as well.
I have travelled to several tropical countries, but my absolute favorite place is Punta Cana in the Dominican Republic. I love to experience different cultures, foods and environments, and having experienced them by myself, I would like to share adventures and experiences with a partner.
Intimacy is a very integral, essential part of a relationship and the time it takes to build the foundation for the trust and respect of another person is definitely something I feel has value and am willing to invest whatever time and effort it takes.Of course we can have a lot of fun along the way.....and even more as time goes on!
