I’ve learned that from loneliness comes a resilience and a confidence – and the need to find companionship, be that fleeting, naked or otherwise. Living life the way I do, I have to make sure I never fall in love. Don’t get me wrong. We are all looking for that special someone, but I keep my heart and mind closed to any long term commitment because I can’t stop moving, relocate or settle. Not right now, not at this stage in my life. However, there will come a day when long term commitment is all I want. I know that one day I’m going to meet the girl that I’ll spend the rest of my life with, whether it’s on a plane over the Mediterranean, a hotel in New York or a restaurant in Hong Kong. But that day is not today… probably not tomorrow either. Instead, I live for the fleeting moment the kind that starts with a smile followed by a conversation with an interesting stranger and usually ends up with steamy hot international sex.
