I'm liberal, well-traveled, musical, smart, educated, introspective yet extroverted, and curious about the world. Sometimes I'm pretty intense in my enthusiasms and conversations, so a partner would need to be intrigued by that to find me charming, I suppose. I also like tv shows (been watching the Canadian show Lost Girl lately) and beer, so it all balances out.

Just recently counted it up and was rather amused, so I'll share: I've been to 37 countries. That does include Vatican City and one extremely brief foray into Abidjan for dinner, but doesn't include the 6 where I've only been in the airport (although I'm going to count Narita as its own country if I have one more long layover there). I don't travel a lot at the moment, but my work does lend itself to lots of travel, which I love.

I like to dance, but don't do it as often as I should. I'm probably not the woman for you if you are ultra-outdoorsy or athletic and want someone to do every activity with you. However, if you're ultra-outdoorsy or athletic and would like someone to admire that about you, cheer you on, but only participate in every third adventure or so, I'm perfect! And I'd love to do some rock climbing.

I like children and am open to guys who already have a kid or two, but I don't seem to have a strong need to bear one. I would consider having one if things work out great between us and you really want to. Sort of an awkward thing to write here, but it's an important point to agree on, I think.

I'm a consultant in international health, helping plan, implement and evaluate health interventions in developing countries.

Probably my long wavy hair, when I have long hair. At other times, perhaps my smile. I've been nicknamed Smiley a few times. One person said he first noticed my blue eyes.
