I am a relaxed, sophisticated and intelligent German national, who is currently teaching Philosophy at a prestigious University in Ireland. I have a Ph.D. in philosophy, and am very successful at what I do. Albanian culture and the beauty of its people has long fascinated me, and I am very keen on meeting some one special. As a partner I am extremely caring and committed. I enjoy quiet evening at home, talking by the fireplace and drinking fine red wine. In my spare time I work on publishing books and I enjoy learning new languages. I am fluent in English, German and Chinese, and know some French and Spanish as well. I am also an enthusiastic hiker, and often go for long walks here in Ireland, enjoying the beauty of the country side. I am also an amateur road bowler. Some of my other hobbies include dream interpretation, Latin dancing, and caring for wild cats. I am looking for someone who is both intelligent and considerate. My goal is to begin a long term relationship, so I need someone who is as committed and single-minded as I am. A lovely women with a good sense of humor, who does not take things (besides our relationship) too seriously is basically all I need. Otherwise, I think a strong relationship is built on trust and mutual interests. Please contact me if you might be interested in getting to know me.
