Date men from Canada / British Columbia / Powell River, 40 year old

Date single man from Canada. I am a man who enjoys having fun and inspiring laughter whenever possible. I am inpsired by compassion for others and by people who are trying to achieve unity with themselves and with their neighbors. I enjoy philosophical conversations about the Universe we live in; about life and its history on this planet; and about the possible future we are all living into. However I also enjoy keeping life simple at times; reading an exciting book or watching a cleverly crafted movie. I am a cook by profession and I enjoy food. I am quite passionate about organic food and trying to support local growers. I see that this will become more and more relevant in the near future. I do not agree with the way our corporate world is seemingly running amuck with its ever present manipulation of our government and its policies.
Having said that I believe in the words of Mahatma Ghandi that we need to be the change we want to see in the world; so I am trying to work on not just speaking but also acting in ways that support my belief system.
On the lighter side of life a truly enjoy a good laugh whether it occurs from watching a good comedian or naturally in conversation with others. I enjoy a good conversation with someone special; sharing a glass of wine and a nice meal. These are a few of the things I try to remind myself of daily in taking on a full appreciation for my life and where I live in the world. I have freedom. Freedom of choice and freedom of health and vitality. As there are so many people living today without even the basics of life; I remind myself of how lucky I am to have access to clean drinking water and an abundance of food choices and opportunities.
What I am looking for in a relationship is first and foremost friendship. Finding someone who enjoys spending time with me and me with them. I would like to find a companion who inspires new possibilities in my life but also accepts me for who I am ... and who I am not.
I would love to be with a woman who is adventurous but grounded at the same time; someone who has a sense of who they are now and what they want from life. I would love to travel; starting with Canada and then moving around the world if possible. I am not interested in having kids right now but I am open to the possibility in my life. There are a few things I want to accomplish before I take on the responsibility of raising children; because I believe it is something not to be taken lightly; parenting truly is a full time endeavour. I am inspired to create my own business which involves what I call a "bustaurant" where I travel from region to region seeking out local organic growers and then applying their food to my menu and supplying that food to people at festivals throughout Canada... from Tofino to PEI. Then I would like to go back to University and complete a degree in Political Science and then possibly move onto a Masters program. My goal in the future is to become the Prime Minister of Canada with the intention of transforming our government in a direction that better serves the people not the corporations. To inspire a true sense of transparency and authenticity amongst our leaders.
Now these are all just thoughts right now; and right now is right now. What I am looking for in my life in the present is to find someone who is inspired by life and who enjoys spending time with me and who wants to laugh and learn together from each other.
