Seven Days Personals - Introducing: Vermonters

When you're alone, and life is making you lonely you can always go
Downtown.

I moved to downtown Burlington last fall after spending 10 years on a Montpelier hillside. I am psyched to return to "city" living. Nothing beats getting everything you need on foot or by bike.

The move breaks a string of living in capital cities- Montpelier, Denver, D.C, and Santa Fe.

I enjoy both active, outdoor activities and the arts.

I am an avid runner, and also enjoy hiking, cycling and cross country skiing. I ran the Boston Marathon in April 2019. In the last few years I have hiked about a dozen of New Hampshire's 4,000 foot peaks.

I regularly go to the theater- I have had season subscriptions to two theaters in the region- and also enjoy movies, chamber music, and museums.

I crave keeping my brain engaged- reading, following and discussing current events. The world is fascinating and there is so much to learn! In recent years I have taken French language, dance and landscape design classes, and become certified as a Master Gardener.

In Montpelier I replaced more than 1500 square feet of boring grass with perennial, herb, berry and vegetable beds. I miss my Montpelier gardens. Fortunately, I am able to tend to a perennial garden in front of my Burlington condo.

Maintaining a healthy lifestyle and making an effort to reduce my carbon footprint are important to me. I became a vegetarian during the Pandemic. I enjoy cooking with fresh garden or locally sourced veggies.

I enjoy my work, and have had a varied, interesting career working to protect public health and the environment.

A sense of purpose and passions that one actively pursues are the keys to a fulfilling life. I'm looking for someone who pursues their passions, and shares some of mine.

Thank you for reading my profile. Please drop me a note if you are interested.
