Originally from Lebanon, I’ve been living in the U.S. for a long time. I'm a software programmer, and also just because I love the surprise of the unknown. I love to learn about new places, people and cultures. I like the out doors, nature, and of course the beach... I’m the father of 2 girls. I like to read, take long walks and spend time with friends. I like to keep up with many things–politics, social issues, culture, travels, people. I especially value humor, being able to laugh at yourself, being able to communicate, culture in general, social issues, staying healthy, and the freedom to think out of the box. I’m looking for a long term companion–somone with her own life, with a simple and happy personality, yet also able to make the compromises that life sometimes requires. Someone who isn’t too thin and who is able to laugh at herself.
