In His Own Words
About him
I am quite happy being solo, but ideally would prefer to share the wonderful experience of travel both at home and abroad.
My profile photo was taken in April this year - the rest are either 25 or 26 apart from the Drakensberg shot clearly marked as 2020.
I’m a solvent/comfortable/enough, n/s, cycling/walking/push up fit, slim, young at heart bloke of 79 who travels predominately during the dreary winter months, having hopefully enjoyed decent UK summers. Nothing has fallen off yet due to rugby in my youth, but ‘with benefits’ are but a very pleasant memory, but can be circumvented should a travel hook up develop further!
My glass is always more than half full - life is for laughter and living to the max.
I really enjoy road trips - recently 5K miles in South Africa. I’ve driven to Calabria and extensively in the USA recently. Last year travelled to Japan and Rajastan and took a ‘short’ road trip around Ireland. City breaks are also most enjoyable.
My travelling style is in the Premium Economy cabin on long haul flights (in the boot for short haul!) and depending upon circumstances, from budget to 5 star.
Comfortable & confident in the transition from scruffbag all the way through to black tie and I’m told I scrub up well.
I’m a Tina & Rod fan and much of the early R&B Stones plus Dylan, Dire Straits, Fleetwood Mac, Queen, Andrea Bocelli, Adele, Springstein, ‘non highbrow’ classical music plus plenty of 60-80’s hits.
I love animals, especially dogs, but my lifestyle would be unfair on a dog, so I get my fix from my adult children’s doggies.
I’m averse to - meal ticket seekers (works both ways), tattoos/piercings, retail therapy, bling/leopard prints, classical music concerts/theatre/dancing (2 left feet) and last of all co-habiting! Somewhat of a daunting list, but best to be honest from the get go.
About his ideal match
An independent lady who’s fit, active, looks after herself and above all else is fun to be with and young at heart. The ability/willingness to share costs is a must, as clearly is the desire to travel.
