Hello Maria, Thank you for your sincere words and I hope we can learn more about each other as we continue this correspondence. Actually, the freight ship at this time is headed north-east of Asia after a stop off at the Port of London, England.

My phone number is probably out of reach at this time, but still, you may contact me on whatsapp / kik chat for faster communication during the period of this trip. I know it is difficult to have a distance relationship, but please, let's try to stay in touch through this means for now, until I get the chance to meet you in person. My job as an Electrotechnical officer generally involves installation, maintenance, test and repairs of ship electrical and electronic equipment.

It also allows me travel and offers me the opportunity to meet people from a wide range of ethnic and cultural backgrounds. Tell me something interesting about your working experience? In terms of my palm oil business, I usually buy the palm oil in metric tons and transport the products using the ship, which invariably saves me the transportation cost, but combining both my job and the palm oil trade these past years has been very challenging for me, which is why I plan to retire after this work trip to Asia.

I assume you may be wondering why I am telling you this? The reason is that I have been lonely for too long and now I am ready for a change. I feel you may worry about the distance, but I am willing to visit you during my vacation, so we can spend more time together and learn more about each other, ok? I never thought I could actually meet someone on the internet, but everything changed with you. I sincerely hope for the best in this relationship and to make it a reality soon. I am an endearing, passionate, honest and hard working man, with a positive outlook on life.

I love to live life as good as possible and enjoy it in a healthy way. I like to treat my partner with respect, tolerance and understanding, and I expect to be treated in the same manner. I had a difficult childhood because I was raised by my mother as an only child. Later on, I got married and had a daughter.

Everything seemed perfect at the time, until my wife was diagnosed with cancer. After her death, I lived my life, responsible for and dependent upon no one, answering to no one and committed to no one except my daughter and my job. I had focused more on my job taking life as it happens because I believe in life everything happens for a reason.

My daughter is about 17 years of age now and presently schooling abroad. Regardless of the distance, I strongly believe we can be together if fate planned that route for us. So please, let us open our hearts, as it does not take a reason to love someone. You don't love someone because you want to.

You love someone because you are destined to. It's because you fall in love that you then try to find a reason, but you always come up with the answer, No reason! There is no way to explain it. It simply just happened. You are encouraged to send pictures to me and ask whatever you wish to know about me and I will be happy to tell you. See attached for a picture of my daughter, Laura. Thinking of you, Rafael
