Academic and artistic, my life revolves around European culture, its history, art, music, and literature. Speak German. Would like to meet someone who was born in and at least in part raised in Germany. Prefer someone educated in the liberal arts, yet a professional in business, government, law, medicine is certainly welcome. I've had primarily an academic and writing career. Even though my time is taken up mostly in sedentary pursuits, I work out with gym equipment, take long hikes, or jog daily. I enjoy especially backpacking in the California, Oregon, and Washington mountains. I'm in Europe every other year for the entire summer.
