Visiting United States, searching for a nice older man 60+ years old, for a serious relationship. I am educated, have a serious job, always attracted to professional elder men. For the right person, I'm open to relocating. Of course, the prerequisite is that we are truly in love; if so, I'd be willing to move to a new city and start a new career. Since I only speak Chinese, English, and German, my first choices would be English or German-speaking countries. Love life, I travel a lot for works and holidays. Also sharing my working life and holiday photos and videos by Facebook under same profile name: Chris Lam Thank you so much for your time!
