Date men and women from Canada / Alberta / Canmore, 55 year old

Date a soulmate from Alberta, Canada. Hi ....
I'm looking for someone to share life with. Friends and family tell me that I have an old soul and a gentle nature. Exploring new cultures and places is a passion for me. Not to mention new foods.
I live in Canmore which is good for the soul. I work in Calgary ... which allows me to have a house in Canmore !
My job keeps me on my toes. I work with teams and departments to change their organization, processes and/or systems. Helping people navigate change always brings new challenges. Luckily I'm usually intrigued about what and why people do what they do.
Love travelling - have been to places like Turkey, Egypt, Cambodia, India, Vietnam, Argentina, Chile, Nepal ... plus the occasional trip to Healdsburg in the California wine country ... heading to China this summer ... really love the Himalayas.
Love hiking - Living in Canmore offers many opportunities near by
Love cycling - did the Gran Fondo from Vancouver to Whistler in Sept ... doing the Ride to Conquer Cancer in the summer ... and so on ... just started mountain biking last year ... I'm not very good at it so get pretty battered up flipping over rocks and tree roots.
Love x-country skiing and snowshoeing - have to get outside since winter hangs around so long here.
Love art - all trips to Europe need to be planned around visits to Art museums: the National Gallery in London, the Prado, the Louvre, and the Rijksmuseum are some of my favourites. Though the Fine Arts museum in Buenos Aires is none too shabby!
Love music - play the guitar, banjo and African drums ... picked up a Baglama in Istanbul but not really too good playing it. World music is my passion; of the 15,000 songs on my iPod only about 1,000 are in English. Indian, Middle Eastern & African ... anything with a good beat! Plus the occasional Tango.
Love cooking - mainly Asian style, though French is good too! Since I am a man, I also adhere to the law in Canada that men must BBQ anytime the temp is between -30 and 30 C.
Love eating - favourite restaurant in Canmore is The Trough, in Calgary would have to say Teatro, Divino's, Thai Sa-on and Rajdoot.
Love photography - especially B&W's of people I meet while travelling
So if any or all of the above interest you, then we should meet!

Meet a woman from Alberta, Canada. I like to make time for family and hang out with friends. I love my job and very passionate about my work helping seniors. I like to be outdoors but also like to curl up with a good book or movie. I am shy at first but am a good listener and friend.

Date a soulmate from Alberta, Canada. I love to be outdoors, playing sports, skiing, hiking, camping, gardening, driving the coast. Nature is very important to me, and if I am not taking time to be outdoors, I really suffer. I also love to dance. Downhill skiing and swing dancing really make me ecstatic, but I routinely play softball and hike all the time as well. I will try almost any sport! I am also an academic (mind/body research) and appreciate being able to talk about ideas, learn about your thoughts and your profession, and explore the inside as well as the outside world. I hope to continue learning throughout my life, and would be happiest with someone who also wanted to learn and grow with me. I also have a domestic side. I love to cook and have big dinner parties or spontaneous barbeques. Cooking with someone is very cool. I also used to quilt, have a big garden, and canned vegetables. I come from the midwest and bring with me lots of those values...strong community ties, honesty, warmth, and wanting to really know my neighbors. Though I enjoy spending time with groups of people, I can also appreciate quiet time. Being on the go needs to be balanced with down time for me to be happy. I also have a strong passionate side, and would love to find someone who is not afraid to feel things deeply. A sense of humor is really important! I have one son, and we are very close. He is a videogame producer, living on Huntington Beach. I am really ready to have a great time with a wonderful lifelong companion.
