I am a former academic from Philadelphia who came to Belize to escape suburban chaos and to establish a new life as an organic farmer. I also read and write high-brow books (Yes, you should know this.) I am independent in politics. But I do fear the collapse of the US dollar. I value truth and beauty and honesty and intellect. But I am NEVER PROUD about all this. Entirely modest. I want an honest and competent woman who knows who she is and what she wants. I am outrageously young for my age; so age is certainly negotiable. I own outright a new house and land. I believe in debt-free living. And, yes, I am partial to tall women, the taller the better.
