Date women from Canada / British Columbia / Burnaby, 58 year old

Date someone special from Burnaby, Canada. I hope you like my smile – because it’s often on my face. Yes, I’m a rather easy-going person and I believe that a sense of humor says a lot about a person’s intelligence. I’m told that my cool, calm and composed personality is pretty amazing considering some of the experiences that I’ve lived through: being a teenage mom, surviving a 17-year dictatorship in my native Chile as a human rights advocate and nine years in exile (in Colombia and Europe), among other life-changing experiences. I’m quite feisty when it comes to standing up for what I believe in, namely social justice and respect for people and the environment, but I am respectful and open to other points of view, if you are with mine.
IРІР‚в„ўm the executive director of a small non-profit based in Santiago, Chile working on environmental protection and local development, mainy in poor rural areas. Please don't say, "But she lives too far" -- IРІР‚в„ўve worked in this field for some 20 years and I love my job. But IРІР‚в„ўm also reaching a point where I want to shift the main focus of my life from work to just doing things I love and enjoy. And that includes moving close to my loved ones: my brother and sister (Miami), daughters and granddaughters (San Francisco and Vancouver(. So I'm here to spend a few months with them and, when I go back later this year ,I will look into an early retirement because I'm planning return to Vancouver next year to stay, during the warmer months at least. Cold and rain are definitely not my thing, so I think I'll flee to Florida in the winter.
I’ve travelled quite extensively in Latin America and Europe and it is one of my favorite things to do. Living in different countries (the US, Colombia, Belgium…) has given me a broader perspective of life and, I hope, a more open mind. I love to learn about other places and cultures. The more I know, the more I want to know. I love words. One of my passions is learning languages; I speak Spanish, English and French but would certainly like to learn several more (Portuguese and Italian are at the top of the list right now). I’ve recently started practicing yoga and I love it. I �m interested in photography at a totally amateur level.
My kind of guy? He is definitely someone who shares my passion for social justice; is interested in the environment and in cultures and people from all corners of the world; a man who enjoys conversation, but is equally comfortable sharing silence. Caring and affectionate, and not afraid to show his feelings. Things I enjoy? IРІР‚в„ўve recently started practicing yoga and I'm loving it. I РІР‚?m interested in photography at a totally amateur level. The simple pleasures of life: eating well and in good company, conversation over a good glass of wine, laughing with firends, listening to people and music, preferably live, the sun and the beach, the forest, the mountains. Walking in natural settings inspires me and is my idea of relaxing. Will you walk with me?
PS: I will not respond to winks, just email. I will also not respond to profiles that do not show at least one recent photo of your face, without sunglasses please.

Meet a soulmate from Burnaby, Canada. About Colleen………
For those who know me well, I am best described as being intelligent, attractive, fit, humorous,very caring, confident, honest, communicative, sociable, energetic, loyal, affectionate, perceptive, down to earth and great company with a touch of class thrown in. I can dress up or dress down and be totally casual and be comfortable.
The ideal guy for me would possess similar or complimentary qualities. He is a 'quiet' or a low key, Alpha male who is confident, kind, spontaneous, intelligent, humorous, generous in spirit , a great communicator and comfortable taking the lead in romance. He is a person of good character, integrity and substance, but also down to earth. He also is a "one woman kind of guy" who is looking for a long term, solid relationship. I DO appreciate a man who respects and take care of his health and body, smells great and enjoys both emotional and physical intimacy.Having solid friendships and family relationships is an added bonus.
Together, we would enjoy special times (and our own interests as individuals) including; long walks, hikes and the outdoors, great food and wine, movies, dancing from time to time, music, horseback riding (or someone who can help me improve!), the ocean, weekend getaways, kicking back to relax, fireplace time, wonderful conversations, laughter and the like. In general, just enjoying being together! Having positive, open communications along with that all important chemistry is a priority for me, as is truthfulness and candour. We're both looking for a fine partnership and that special someone to share this particular chapter of life.. A solid friendship and true appreciation of one another mixed with hopefully, something more enduring to follow.....Special requests? Well...I would appreciate a relatively 'recent' photo and those special guys who are good, all around conversationalists, that also believe chivalry is not yet dead. And, most importantly, the ability to 'communicate', verbally and in writing. Please.....no 'cut and pastes' or overly dramatic past experiences. Many of us are on this site, to explore a potential, long term partnership. Personal 'misrepresentation' intended or otherwise, really, tends to get in the way of this happening in a positive way.
