In traveling l like to learn culture and know people. My travels are more people oriented and not landmark oriented. Connection to the people, language, music, religion, customs, history, land etc.

I spent all of 2016 traveling Asia and appreciate different world views. A strong relationship based on trust and deeper connections makesfor lifetime friendship and strong bonds.

Respectful communication is important.
Open listening, and not just talking.

I am a gardener, horticulturist and Arborist. I work hard. Everything plants, soils, and trees.
I worked as a firefighter for many years.
I like trail running and long distance hiking.
I like local swimming, mountains, bathing in rivers, running, hiking, forests, outdoor things, sauna, onsen, etc...

I have traveled extensively immersed in other cultures for long periods of time. I accept all good from life and religions.
Being around many religions allows for a broader understanding of people’s different views.
I respect different views of people and religion worldwide, I do not feel culturally everyone should or must accept everything. That is impossible.
Good to be 35+ but open to all.

A few things if you stay with me-
No drinking, getting drunk or smoking pot

I sleep early around 9 pm and Im up at 5:00 am No arrivals after 8:30 pm

On connection -

I am about true freedom of choice, which truly pushes people, because most people are open minded only to what they believe and understand, without any varying experience or critical thinking.
I am open to all who are open and good.
UN-woke patriot lean hard to the right.
Vaccination no worry. I don’t discriminate and don’t live in fear.🇺🇸🏳️‍🌈

We will not connect if you are politically hateful and close minded to others views.
If you hate people because they don't have your opinion of American politics and cant accept that people that think differently, or have different opinions than you... dont hit me up.

There are no shoes worn my house.
