Part-time astronomer, full-time dog whisperer, Can you watch our steps?

Single, divorced and clear / ready for a new relationship. Looking to build a friendship that can grow into a long term stable and rewarding relationship with a woman who is in the same stage in her life. My friends see me as reliable, responsible, and ethical. I love to laugh and could be funny or amusing sometimes in a serious tone , that's my way of not taking myself too seriously at times. My religion is Nature and humanity, music is food for my soul and “reading books furnishes my mind with the knowledge I need to live ; it is thinking that makes what I read my own.” I am interested to meet someone who is comfortable in her skin, who has done the work to know and accept herself. My own experience makes me believe that people who practice introspection have much broader horizon and lead more holistic lives and have better understanding of complex or ambiguous situations. I am at a point in my life where I can have more leisure time and travel, I am hoping that I can meet someone who has a similar situation and we can explore the world together. Tell me your favorite travel story, and I'll tell you mine. Bonus points if it involves getting lost!
