About me: I left America over twelve years ago, and have spent the last ten in the beautiful city of Zurich. Jumping into the void of singledom again feels strange but is inspiring and challenging at the same time.
I like to write,hike, read, and throw myself into projects that consume tons of time and energy and get everybody excited until the thing's over and never matters to anyone again - like building sand castles with an incoming tide. Lately I've noticed I'm not always so keen to be the leader every time on such madness, so I guess I'm wising up!
Anything creative excites me, and people always interest me - everyone has a story and no one has a boring one. But in the end, I need time to myself too and find solitude (in small doses) a source of rest and recovery from the energy I invest in people, places and things.
I'm looking for: I would like to feel like my partner knows me, including my character defects, and likes me despite them. My match would have a sense of humor and be able to laugh at me and at himself, too. (I tend towards black humor)
He would be aware of the world around him and curious about life. Without being too naive, he would try to see the good in people, never mistreat people he has power over, and have principles he tries to live by, even if sometimes he slips up.
I tend to shy away from overly aggressive or loud people...
