I am a very respectful, quiet, nice guy who is looking to meet someone who is also nice, considerate, clean, respectful, and reliable for a roommate situation where we split the rent. I am moving to Amsterdam from the US, because I am into photography and I find the area beautiful.I would prefer a female roommate because I feel there is more mutual respect, and I find women to be cleaner and more trustworthy (just my humble opinion from past experience). I feel that by finding a roommate and splitting the costs, it makes living a lot more affordable. I am retired, I was a Helicopter Rescue Swimmer with the U.S. Coast Guard for years and also worked as a police officer for many years, I am also trained as an emergency medical technician. I am a safe person to be around, and hopefully will make you feel safe living in whatever apartment we find knowing I am there to protect you.I have a Masters Degree, I am educated, open minded on pretty much everything, I don't judge others, and I treat others with respect.I'm just hoping to meet someone nice to share an apartment with, a friend to talk to, and occasionally hang out with. I am a non smoker, and do not use any illegal drugs (prior law enforcement). I am looking for someone who is also a non smoker. I'm happy to answer any questions you may have and to talk as much as you want so we can get to know one another some to make sure we are a good match. I don't care about what age you are, what you do for work, I just care that you are a sweet person inside.
