I'm a Southern European man. I have a foreign accent, great table manners and a byronic air -only that I'm actually hilarious and upbeat. People describe me as charming, gentlemanly, witty, easy-going and charismatic.

I love traveling and can pack for a one-month trip in a matter of minutes. Cooking is sort of my yoga: I find it very relaxing, inspirational and, on top of that, the outcome is edible and, if I may say so myself, delicious.

I'm a big time lover of nature and outdoor sports. In fact, I'm singularly skilled at crashing my mountain bike in hilarious ways. Also worth mentioning is the fact that I once accidentally set my hiking boots on fire.

For those of you who believe in the Jung test, here are my results: "ENTP - Extroverted (E) Intuitive (N) Thinking (T) Perceiving (P). "Inventor". Enthusiastic interest in everything and always sensitive to possibilities. Non-conformist and innovative. 2% of the total population."

Anyway... I would be a hideous hypocrite If I asked you to have qualities I do not posses myself, even in modest quantities. Having said that, I will flatter myself by humbly requesting that you be funny, open-minded, balanced, sensitive, smart, outdoorsy, educated (street education is OK), sensuous (closet -------ity is ok), and well-traveled (armchair travelers are OK). Teachers, librarians, nerds and (not necessarily consumptive) romantics (or those who look like any of the aforementioned) get extra points... Well... actually, you know what? Forget it! What really matters is having a sense of humor!
