In His Own Words
About him
I would like to see a relationship in terms of evolution and understanding. Plus a development of intrinsic knowledge. Also Fun!
I am interested in writing/reading,walking, exploring foreign countries and so on, plus that elusive something. I've worked for Air Traffic Control and as a video engineer at Bournemouth Univerity for 25 years and have played drums in a group in the 60's. Also I have been involved with a 'School of Estoteric Education' in the 70's 80's.
Ideally, I would like to find a fellow traveller to accompany me for explorations throughout Europe and maybe beyond.
I finally retired in September 2011 from Bournemouth University and went to live on Gozo (sister island to Malta) for a few months working for the SPCA. Writing has been a bit of an interest and I had a book published in 2011!
It's a travel book, or actually a parody of a travel book ..
Also, I've been trying to reach some kind of a perspective involving Psychological observations and Esoteric/spiritual experiences of the inner and outer worlds..
I'm still considering moving abroad to live, maybe France or elsewhere, sometime in the future. I think I need someone to help me decide exactly where because I find that there are lots of places I like the look of!
About his ideal match
I would like to find someone of intelligence, not just in the ordinary sense but a person who is interested in the big questions, etc. Also hopefully someone who would have a developed sense of humour. Not too much to ask, hopefully... An open minded person, who is non-judgmental would be more than helpful however!
