Carmel

I believe the day we stop learning and exploring is the day we die. I started my professional career late in life after a long career in mining. I am divorced and have two daughters aged 10 and 13. After the stress of work I get my therapy from cooking and dining out. My kitchen is my sanctuary I tend not to be a shed guy so much. I cook asian and Mediterranean but enjoy exploring anything thatв¿¿s edible. I am looking for a woman who will join me in making plans to have fun anyway it comes. I relax by bush walking, reading, watching docos and movies. I globe trotted for over 6 years before settling in Tas but I am over it now and Melbourne will be my new home for 2011.

I am a suit and tie man during the week but at other times I like to be shown what clothes look good on me. I love shopping but prefer a woman to dress me. I can seem conservative to people who don't know me but I think that to act your age is important and graceful. By that I mean guys over 21 should not do air guitar on the dance floor. I am not religious but respect that other people have spiritual needs. I was raised as a strict Catholic but ditched it many years ago.

I am lucky that I look young for my age and I put that down to genes and staying out of the sun. My hair is going south but I plan to go south with it. I just cannot imagine myself getting hooked on desperation products. I would rather spend money on wine and air tickets. I love adventure and it should be a full time job and that's the way I want my life to go. I just think that sharing it and having somebody to bounce off would make all so much more exciting.
