Female, 49, likes Turkish men

I am an independent, and educated woman with a little bit of an edge who seeks a Turkish male companion with a similar edge. By that, I mean someone who is adventurous, slightly sardonic, appreciates creative conversation, and not too predictable. While I enjoy people and socializing, I do have a side that likes to retreat to the quiet of my home and hang out with my dogs, ignoring the phone and other distractions from outside world. I have travelled internationally, though not so much so recently and am feeling the lust for that kind of travel again. My favored companion is one who would share a similar interest in travel, not mind sharing a long hike with dogs, likes to eat healthfully (mediterranean food in particular) and exercise, more focused on reading and talking than television, enjoys sampling different wines, and gets high on a beautiful snow-crested mountain or blue-green ocean waves lapping over white sandy beaches. I would also appreciate that this person likes time to himself and is happy by himself. I consider myself to be a basically enthusiastic and positive person, though sometimes don't deal with boredom and mundanity very well. To help with this, I practice yoga which helps be stay in the present and feel strong mentally and physically. I believe that friends consider me to be quite passionate, in part stemming from many years externalizing emotions and thoughts in theatre and acting.
