Date women from Canada / British Columbia / Sooke, 46 year old

Date a woman from Canada. I keep hearing "put yourself out there", so THERE, here I am!
I'm a trasplanted Kootenay girl, having lived on the Island now for nearly 12 years. I love the ocean and all it has to offer: fishing, beachcombing, tide pools, storm watching. You name it.
Having lived most of my life in small towns, I consider myself a country girl whose not afraid of a little dirt, and animals are always around. I value others who can see that it's often the small things in life that bring the most joy, and it's not all about having nice things and a great RRSP.
My work as a a nurse has provided me with exposure to all the good and bad that life has to offer and the amazing resiliance people possess. I'd like to think I have become a stronger person as a result of getting through my own struggles as much as witnessing the challenges of others. Let's face it, no one said life was EASY! But, no one said it all had to be work and no play either, so I'm ready for a bit of the play!
Just about anything that takes me outdoors is great with me, but I must admit getting into the city and experiencing all it had to offer is wonderful as well. I consider my "clubbing" days to be over, but under the right circumstances I've found myself with friends at the after hours club!
I'd love to meet someone who just wants to get out of the rut of daily life and explore the things we love to do and maybe experience some new stuff too.
I have a great family and my co-workers are like a second family to me, but there's just something missing. Maybe I'll find it (you) here!!!
