In His Own Words
About him
Hello…
You could say I’ve lived a reasonably full outer life - but the real richness has come from the inner journey.
I’ve had my fair share of adventures and lived in some beautiful places overseas. While that was exciting, it taught me this: if you can’t tend to your inner world, it doesn’t matter where you are, what you have or who you’re with - you’ll miss the sweetness in it.
These days, I’m semi-retired and moving at a slower, more intentional pace. I spend a lot of my time on a narrowboat in the slow lane - literally and metaphorically. I’m not chasing long-haul travel anymore, but I am open to shared adventures closer to home across the UK, discovering quiet places, and savouring those journeys.
I’ve practiced meditation and yoga for years (but not obsessively), and I value self-reflection, emotional honesty, and enjoy the balance of a grounded, practical life. That said, there’s still a spark of the wild burning. I love to laugh - not at someone’s expense, and I find joy in simplicity over sophistication.
Some of the things that light me up: motorcycling, drumming, stargazing, music, narrowboating, drawing, walking, bird watching, and hiking. I’m learning German (slowly), and I have a harmonium that’s patiently waiting for more attention. I’m fascinated by the intersection of psychology, myth, and astrology - think Jung, Robert Johnson, Joseph Campbell.
I lean slightly toward introversion: I recharge alone, avoid crowds, and limit exposure to the news. I see the world through a slightly esoteric, unconventional lens. I care more about depth than status, and I value generosity of spirit, emotional steadiness, and free-spiritedness.
I’m friendly, reflective, kind, emotionally present…and hygienic. 😉
About his ideal match
I’m in a place where I’m not looking to rush into anything. I’d like to meet someone for easygoing, honest connection - something light, playful, and real. Not a fling, not a dabble, not a situationship. Just something with no pressure, but also not trivial.
I’m drawn to people with curious minds, open hearts, and maybe a touch of wild/unconventional in their spirit too. Warmth and kindness matter deeply. So does emotional honesty. If you can move between depth and laughter, feel at home with both intensity and silence, and value intimacy that builds organically...with the odd bit of swearing for emphasis...we’ll probably get along.
Ideally, you’re self-aware, thoughtful, and unafraid of honest conversations - but also know how to be playful and light. I believe in connection that feels natural and balanced - where we're just actively comfortable together giving each other space to be fully ourselves, and allowing closeness to grow with time.
If you value growth, beauty, soulfulness, and a bit of the unconventional… and you’re not in a rush, we might just nurture the spark and build something quietly beautiful together.
