I work pretty hard, but I have lots of interests when I get some free time. I love beaches and sea, I can captain a yacht, am a qualified diver and have even jumped with a parachute - twice!

I also read a lot and love music (especially live) of all kinds, from Bach to Snow Patrol. I have a beautiful guitar which I don't play as well as it deserves.

I have travelled a good deal, but I know there is much more to see. I have been to Australia, Asia, North America, North Africa and many countries in Europe. My favourite city (so far) is Paris, and my favourite place of all Pirates Bay, Tobago.

I am looking for a long-term relationship based on mutual respect, admiration and, eventually, love. I will do anything I can to help my partner achieve her goals in life.

Someone to be an equal partner in our life together. Beautiful inside and out (if only to me) you will be prepared to try new things, travel to new places and meet new people.

Age does not matter - you can be mature at 18 or more than 40 years young, as long as you want, like me, to learn, to grow and to experience life in this beautiful world of ours. At the same time, life is not beautiful for everyone, so a concern for people with fewer advantages is necessary to me.

Most important of all is communication - to support each other we need to understand, trust and respect each other.
