In His Own Words
About Him
Carpe Diem
A thalassophile and hodophile (lover of the sea and of travel).
➤ Catamaran sailing in Greece; skiing in the Alps; kitesurfing in Antigua; island hopping in Fiji and always up for something slightly outrageous.
➤ Am I happy being single? Yes. Would I love to share life with the right person? Absolutely. But I'd rather be on my own than with the wrong person. If, like me, you want someone whose company makes life better, then we're likely a good match. Peace and self-respect matter too much to settle for less, on both sides.
➤ Me: adventurous, loyal, and I love to laugh, often at myself. Whether I'm being silly, spontaneous, or planning the next adventure, I know what I want and go after it, and I'd love to meet someone with that same boldness. A great sense of humour is a must: laugh at the little things and don't take life too seriously.
➤ You: confident, curious and feminine, a woman who embraces her individuality. Secure, optimistic, generous, and up for a great conversation.
➤ Together, we complement, not complicate, each other.
➤ 2024-25 was work and travel through the Alps, Venice, Egypt, Doha, Mallorca, the Caribbean and more.
➤ 2026: New Zealand, Fiji, Sicily, Santorini and sailing the Ionian.
➤ Next: Hawaii, perhaps back to NZ or more sailing, and a new business idea. I don't mind travelling solo, but places are better shared with someone just as curious.
➤ Day to day: sports, family and friends, eating out, cooking, reading, and quiet evenings in with a movie and a roaring fire.
➤ What matters to me: equality, compassion and honest communication. Two people who are self-assured yet humble, committed to growth, and willing to compromise. A relationship built on understanding and mutual respect.
➤ So tell me: what's the best trip you've taken, and where next?
Photos: most recent from May 2026 sailing in Greece. Others from skiing in Morzine, Wapalapam in Mauritius and kitesurfing in Antigua.
