I am well rounded and cultured. I value calm and appreciate cerebral conversations. I also appreciate people who are reflective and willing to grow. I enjoy cooking and feeding people. I am addicted to swimming in the ocean’s cold waters as it is therapy in its own way. I bike, climb mountains and enjoy traveling to unique cities around the world while living like locals do. I read all sorts of genres and find meaning in all. My ideal partner is one who is mellow, compassionate, warm, pleasant, sweet, NOT jumpy or aggressive or one who is quick to judge and attack at the slightest hint of misunderstanding. She asks and inquires and gives the benefit of doubt. Above all, she speaks Arabic and appreciates a cup of coffee & listening to Fayrouz :)
