More about me

I'm definitely an extrovert and thrive on interaction with others. Looking to meet other 50+ single men and women for: dining out, movies, concerts, plays, festivals, hikes, art openings, walks, beach parties, bike rides, etc. I am so in love with the Monterey coastal area and don't want to leave it, even after retirement. Although there are plenty of enjoyable activities to do here on my own, it's simply that much more fun when I do them with other peopl(or one special man.) Locals only please!
