BUDDHAPALIAN, 62
I recently retired and now have time to make long visits to far-away places with very different cultures. Would be lovely to have a traveling companion and partner who is also interested in having new adventures and experiencing other peoples and countries. My interests in doing so would be multi-dimensional -- serving, learning, spiritual, and just being a tourist. I am interested in being with people who want to understand what is going on in the world around them and who want to make a difference at whatever level they can contribute. I love good books, good music, good wine and sidewalk cafes. I like puttering in the yard and gardens, seeking out adventures near and far, cooking and enjoying foods of all ethnic origins, going to small venue music performances (folk, blues, blue grass, rock, indie), foriegn and indy films, reading the newspaper, doing the crossword puzzle, listening to NPR and watching Jon Stewart, Bill Maher, Rachel Maddow and Bill Moyers. Love anything by Anne Lamott, David Sedaris, and other funny but very real folks.
