Searching for a soulmate

I am giving this thing a try to see if maybe there is a match out there for me somewhere. I'm a very independent woman who knows what she wants in life. I love to travel, to learn and appreciate different cultures. I have worked for everything I have, so I'm not looking for a "sugar daddy". If that is your motive, please look elsewhere. I believe trust and communication are the very foundation of any relationship and I'm looking for someone that isn't afraid or ashamed to express their feelings. We all have walls and scars from our pasts, but let's not let our past experiences keep us from moving forward.
