I'm a New Zealander who likes things from Iran especially the music, classical dances, arts and history. And, I love the outdoors. I walk 20 km a day sometimes and longer. HIking is my favourite thing. I would like a man who loves mountains and hiking with me. I'm known to be independent, very direct and creative as a person. I have high expectations. Seeking a caring partner, not a controlling one. I don't want any idiots or liars! Maybe this is too much to ask. I don't want men's divorced ex-wives, in-laws or grown-up children interfering in any relationship I have. Freedom from the stress is something that I value highly. I like my sleep at night...and dance every day to Middle Eastern music! Sorry that Persians did not create the oud, but I do own one! I'm looking for care, respect, common sense and intelligence.
