I am an animal and nature lover that is not for the squeemish, as I am especially fond of reptiles and invertabrates. I am a down to earth, open minded, smart, funny 35 year old originally from New Jersey. I enjoy outdoor activities including camping, horseback riding, boating and beach combing. I work out 10-12 hours a week, swim a mile 2-4 times a week and enjoy yoga and meditating. My beliefs are metaphysical and I am very spiritual, I live my life with respect and consideration of everything around me. I am honest, sincere, affectionate, adventurous and free spirited, and do my best to keep stress, power struggles and drama out of my life. I am looking for a long term relationship and although I am in no rush to get married I want the stability and security a steady relationship will provide. I do not expect to find "Mr. Right" immediately, but believe you can never have too many friends.
