Hi everybody. I am new to this forum and site. Looking around for permi sites to which share and leran from, I came across this single perms list. Interesting ! Because, its very true the fact that one spends most of the time “out there” doing the stuff one loves ( gardening, dreaming, working with soil, being creative, living as sustainable as possible, etc) … its very fun and would rather do this then bar hop ( although a good night of a couple of drinks and dancing also is very fun). I am 48, live in Ecuador, coast, beach…rather dry area… 3 miles away from a lively bohemian party surftown plaged mainly by youngsters and teenagers. Not my thing.. been there, done that…. Long time ago. I have small business/hobby: a mini Lodge where tourists looking for some peace and quiet come to escape the noisy night life of the nearby towns. I feel happy and lucky to live the life I am living: simple, peaceful and in harmony with everything and everybody. I believe in the present and do my best to live by it. I cant say I am exactly “looking”, but you know, as I a came across this, I thought it would be wonderful to share dreams, to share lives with someone special. On the other hand, I see myself today surrounded by wonderful people and I am very grateful… but their lies a place, in my heart, that smiles all the time at me with the conviction that life is just the way its meant to be. It feels nice to think there is someone out there not only to share dreams and lives, but also love, respect, hold hands, cozy up, look deep into the eyes and feel a rush of love from head to toe. Not only the love that needs to be felt for all things and people, but also the love that makes you grow as a human being, as a partner in life. A romantic? I don’t see myself as one… maybe its just my latin blood . I enjoy gardening and learning about permaculture, and of course applying it wher possible. I also own a small area of land nearby with a river bed very near. This is where I want o build a dream, a house and share the happiness of feeling the perfection of every day and being grateful to the universe. I like making friends, lots, but also enjoy privacy, time and space. Again, a fussion of things… as most things in my life. Welcome to post, as friends sharing ideas and dreams..and who knows, maybe we find further connections in life.
