Pretty much what it says on the title.

I do consider myself intelligent (both emotionally and intellectually) and I've got exciting stuff going on in terms of career and everything in life is great. All I need is the right person to share all of me with. In the past I've sought out women who are emotionally sweet since I find that very attractive, but lately I've come to realize that I need someone who is more than just sweet and feminine. I need intellectual stimulation. I want to be able to share my ideas and feel excited by how stimulating our conversations are. I want us to share hobbies, travel together, make new memories and teach each other new things. I want an equal partner to match me in calibre, speed, depth and breadth.

The reason I'm just seeking a travel partner to start with is that I've come to realize that it's better to start off as friends and explore each other in terms of our compatibility and then see if there's any room for more than just a friendship.

A few random facts about me:-

1. Let's get the physical out of the way - I'm 6ft tall, broad shoulders, average build but my goal for this year is to tone up and get more muscular. I am big into fitness, running, swimming, yoga, meditation among other things.
2. I have a degree in Cognitive and Behavioral Neuroscience from a private liberal arts college in the US. I've always been into science, tech and other geeky things.
3. I work full-time as a Business Analyst but I have my own non-profit startup on the side. I'm working on my second startup, also on the side. Waiting to make them independent/profitable so that I can bail out of my very comfortable 11-to-7 work-from-home job.
4. I love traveling and exploring new experiences. I want to travel to as many places as possible. I love solo travel, but the right companion can make things even better.
5. I'm not crazy about video games, but I do use it as a stress buster to chill out and play a nice puzzle platformer or a nice story campaign on my PC to relax. Bonus points if you're someone who is also into gaming.
6. I'm not serious about these things, but if you are then this might give you some idea - I'm an INTJ-A. I don't take astrology too seriously, but I also don't shun just anyone who's into it. So if you're into it maybe this helps - I'm mostly Capricorn (Sun/Venus), Virgo Moon, Scorpio Mars.

I'm looking for someone who scores high on the following qualities:-

1. Love for travel and exploration
2. Love for animals
3. Love for reading
4. Love deep conversations
5. Emotional sweetness
6. Femininity
7. You take pride in your intelligence
8. You know how to take care of yourself and you're stable with your life
9. Kindness and compassion
10. Respect for yourself and others

If you want us to get to know each other please message/chat me with responses to these:- 1. Age and physical description 2. What made you message me? 3. How would you describe your personality? 4. Pets? Photo of your pet for special consideration! 5. One place in India that you really wish to visit?

Looking forward to talk to you :)
