Fierce Competition on these sites! Some Great profiles...all vying for attention with / without intention??? My Chronicle (Story)....Very new to this on-line search and chat dating thingy. But, will give it a try. Taking risks: if you win, you will be happy; if you lose, you will be wiser. My profession (United Nations) has afforded me to travel all over the world. I have spent a great portion of my life in Europe, South America and the Middle East. From narrow streets of cobble stones to some very remote region of the Desert. I've seen much more than I can recall Now I live and work in the Washington DC metro area..where traffic is horrible, but bearable as long I'm listening to classic rock. Why am I here....? Actually a very good friend paid for my month worth od subscription. A freebie! So, here for a good mutual interest companion (and maybe more, if we "click). Someone who would like to share in Weekend activities, getaways, new cities, sights, towns, different food, restaurants, coffee shops, etc. Hope to have captured your curiosity and a little of your attention and I'll leave it at that. If you're interested and up to drop me a line and will see what transpires from there.
