I am going to be straight forward . . . During my twenties I traveled the world as an investment banker. I still love to travel, but now I am more settled and would eventually like to meet someone to create a life with. I believe in a traditional lifestyle and would enjoy one day being the caretaker of a family in regards to cooking, cleaning, and taking care of children: a stay at home mother. I do not want my children to grow up being raised by a babysitter. I truly value family and all the joy and happiness it can encompass. I hang out at the gym, not the bars. A physically fit mate is very important to me. I workout five days a week. I'm highly educated with a master's degree and I would like my partner to be educated. I love to travel domestically and internationally several times a year. This is VERY important to me. I hope to travel with my mate. I'm also an extreme optimist. I love life and seek the best out of each day! I am looking for a relationship, not a hookup. Believing in God is a must. I can admit I don't go to church every Sunday, but I can't be with someone who doesn't believe. What else? I love deep sea fishing, running, swimming, laughing, going to the movies, wine tasting, traveling, dancing, spending time at the spa, working out, writing my novel, attending cooking and writing classes, and volunteering for my community. I must be honest that I really don't like camping. I prefer a hotel.
