I'm not merely looking for a mate for companionship, but for someone who is capable of deep understanding, independent , smart and also charming enough to be able to keep me from boredom. I know this might sound like a long list, but it really isn't, and I will reciprocate these qualities in return. I'm an Iranian of Azeri descent, with deep roots in the Caucasus and Anatolia (Turkey) and Iran. I've lived most of my life in the U.S. My short term goal is to live part time in Turkey and United States, and travel between the two as I please. I do generally thrive in the outdoors and love nature and animals of all kinds. I consider myself sensible and not a huge risk taker until I have evaluated most situations as closely as possible. If you like what you see and we click, please be prepared for a video chat, phone conversation and to present recent, not overly doctored photos of yourself. I hope you understand. Thanks for reading my long jabber:)
