In His Own Words

About Him

My vriende sê ek’s ’n mens wat met oorgawe leef—nuuskierig, insiggewend, en altyd op soek na die volgende avontuur. Ek hou van diep gesprekke, nuwe ervarings, en enigiets wat my laat groei. Ek stel intens belang in menslike ontwikkeling en is ook ’n besigheid- en lewensafrigter in my eie tyd. Ek hou daarvan om uitdagings te ontrafel en nuwe oplossings te skep.

Ek’s mal oor vlieg (privaat vlieënier) en ry lang afstande op my bergfiets—dis hoe ek ontspan en my kop oopmaak. Ek hou van eenvoud, egtheid, en mense wat gemaklik is in hul eie vel. Ek hou glad nie van oppervlakkigheid of drama nie.

Ek glo die lewe is ’n geskenk—’n kans om te leer, te ervaar, en voluit te leef, oomblik tot oomblik. Ek’s nie op soek na perfek nie—net iemand wat nuuskierig is oor die lewe, gemaklik is met hulself, en soms lus is om saam nuwe dinge te ontdek. As jy hou van die onbekende, stiltes kan geniet, en soms net wil wees sonder verwagting—dan het ons dalk iets om te verken.

Friends describe me as someone who lives wholeheartedly—curious, thoughtful, and always chasing the next meaningful adventure. I’m passionate about human development and coach in business and life when time allows. I love unpacking challenges, creating something new, and seeing the world from different angles.

Flying clears my soul (I’m a private pilot), and long mountain bike rides are where I find clarity and peace. I’m drawn to authenticity, simplicity, and people who are comfortable in their own skin. I stay away from drama and surface-level noise.

Life, to me, is a gift—meant to be felt, explored, and lived fully, moment by moment. I’m not looking for perfect—just someone who’s curious about life, comfortable with themselves, and open to discovering new experiences together. If you’re someone who can sit in silence, laugh in the unknown, and appreciate connection without pressure—maybe we’ve got something worth exploring.

About His Ideal Match

I’m drawn to someone who is deeply self-aware, emotionally intelligent, and financially secure in her own life. A woman who doesn’t need a relationship, but chooses connection—moment to moment—out of joy, not obligation. We live our own lives, independently and fully, and when we meet, it’s because we both want to, not because we have to.

She’s curious, playful, sensual, and kind—comfortable in silence, alive in adventure, and not looking to own or be owned. No pressure, no performance—just two grown-ups exploring life together, however it shows up. Space is welcome, freedom is sacred, and presence is everything.

Deal breakers? Emotional dependency, control, drama, or an agenda to "settle down." I’m not here to be tamed, fixed, or captured—I’m here to play, to connect deeply, and to leave each other better than we found each other.

If you’re your own woman—and still curious about more—let’s see what shows up.

Ek voel aangetrokke tot iemand wat haarself ken, emosioneel volwasse is, en finansieel onafhanklik haar eie pad stap. Nie iemand wat ’n verhouding nodig het nie, maar wat dit kies—oomblik tot oomblik—omdat dit vreugde bring, nie verwagting nie. Ons leef apart, maar kies om soms saam te wees, wanneer dit sin maak en reg voel.

Sy is nuuskierig, speels, sensueel en sag—gemaklik in stilte, lewendig in avontuur, en sonder die behoefte om te besit of besit te word. Geen druk, geen drama—net twee volwasse siele wat die lewe saam verken, soos dit kom. Vryheid is heilig, teenwoordigheid is alles.

Deal breakers? Emosionele afhanklikheid, beheer, drama, of ’n behoefte om “settle down.” Ek is nie hier om getem of vasgevang te word nie—ek’s hier om te speel, diep te verbind, en mekaar beter te los as voorheen.

As jy jou eie vrou is—maar steeds nuuskierig oor meer—kom ons kyk wat opduik.
