Date men from Canada / British Columbia / North Saanich, 41 year old

Date someone special from North Saanich, Canada. Just moving to Vancouver island this month, and thought this would be a great way to make some connections, with the possibility of creating a friendship or two before I arrive. I am not looking to hook up, my intentions are completely honest, and if I am lucky enough to find someone special, than it was meant to be.
Ever since I was a child I have been drawn to the ocean...I can still remember looking for creatures in tide pools as toddler. Almost forty years later, nothing much has changed, I am still 85% water and always feel alive while playing in it. That the main reasons I find myself pulled to the west coast once again. I prefer playing in the warmer part of the ocean, but as a Canadian there is not much in the way of tropical islands to choose from, so this is the next best thing. I have been fortunate to have lived a charmed life, filled with much love, friendship, travel, excitement and like most people, a little hardship.
I am fortunate to have the freedom to choose where home will be, and for many reasons it feels right to settle in this part of the again. As much as love the tropical lifestyle, I am Canadian at heart, and miss the smell of the seasons changing. I am recently adjusting to the longterm effects of snowboard accident I had several years ago, which has slowed me down a little, but I am still determined to make the most of what I have been given, and keep living life to the fullest. Having to cope with these setbacks, has given me a better perspective on life and nothing is taken for granted, especially the people closest to me. It has also provided a new found admiration for people dealing hardship or circumstances out of their control. I try to find joy in the simple things in life, while sharing time and love with those closest to me. Although I have no expectations from being a part of this online community, it is no different than waiting at a bus stop and bumping into someone that could be a part of your life forever(except there is a lot of people waiting for this bus). So whether it is here or walking through the park, I am still hopeful I might meet the person I was supposed to spend the rest of the future with. In the meantime if you would enjoy making a new friend, that is loyal, kind, compassionate and loves to talk about anything and everything...send me a line.
