looking for an honest and committed relationship

Born in 1980, I am an Aries (for those who are interested in signs!). I am seeking a lifelong travel companion. Someone who is passionate about life, responsible, realistic, honest, and kind who values love, family, and mutual understanding in search of long-term friendships as I strive to do. It has been said that I'm kind, honest, and focused by those around me. But I’m not an accomplishment reliant person. It is my belief that simplicity is the currency of friendship, and there is no such thing as simple, simple is hard. Traveling, painting, working out, bike riding, fishing, watching movies, and sometimes golfing and shooting are some of my favorite activities. I enjoy cooking. Besides Persian style dishes, I can cook some other ethnic foods as well. Considering myself an atristic character, I ranked sixth in the art university entrance test, wrote some classic and modern poems, painted some water color and canvas, however, I'm an engineer working in mining!
