Generally (and genuinely) friendly guy looking to meet interesting people both at home and abroad. It's interesting to share views on things, swap opinions. Although it's good to chat with people who have similar interests that's not vital as it is your passion about your interests that matters. Hopefully we'll be able to learn from each other and find out about different places, things or ideas.

The things I like doing best are walking in mountains (whether in The Lake District or up in Scotland), watching classic movies and listening to music. I like cooking and am rather partial to making Indian influenced dishes, although fruit cakes are good too.

I'm looking for people who are happy to invest the time and effort needed into establishing​ a good communicativ​e friendship. Ultimately it might be nice to be able to meet up at some point and for us to be able to show each other our own locations.
