In Her Own Words
About her
I like the countryside, books, ideas, nature, Greece, classical and world/traditional music, health foods, oriental rugs and people who are intellectually curious. Used to work in publishing and then academia, now do things for pleasure - reading, writing, voluntary work, hanging out with friends, travel, exercise classes, yoga, meditation, natural health, growing and foraging, learning new stuff. In this stage of life I want to focus my energy on creative and mind expanding activities and exploring new cultures and places. I don't do anything involving uncomfortable clothing or footwear. Basically I see retirement as a chance to be a teenager again but with upgraded pocket money:) - what a privilege! Looking for friendship and, if the universe is kind, someone to learn, grow and be with forever.
About her ideal match
Someone who has travelled, lived abroad, or has a global outlook; who's intelligent, unconventional and compassionate; who reads and has ideas and projects they're pursuing; who values nature and time in the countryside; and who looks after their health. Ideally free to travel a bit and not primarily interested in conspicuous consumption, fine dining, beach holidays etc. Biggest turn-on for me is someone with interesting ideas whom I can learn from.
