The long version:

I moved to New York last year by way of DC and Massachusetts, the latter being where I was born and raised.

I am very intellectually curious and enjoy learning, but try not to take myself too seriously.

I love coffee and coffee shop culture, and can usually be found in my favorite coffee shop several times a week either reading or working, but never under caffeinated. I am also an avid cyclist and ride whenever I can be it for errands or exercise.

IMPORTANT NOTE - I suffer from wanderlust. I love traveling the globe and find it hard to stomach (for now) settling down in one place. I have a strong desire to experience different locales, and would jump at the chance to relocate abroad or to San Francisco meaning I don't see myself staying in NYC forever.

The short version:

Likes - cycling, sustainability, environmental causes, Boston Bruins, hockey, spelling and using words correctly, lists, reading, infographics, running, swimming laps, playing bike mechanic, camping, coffee, eating out, drinks with friends, my career, trying new things and traveling.

Dislikes - poor grammar, inspirational quotes, wasting life's precious moments, boredom, intolerance, one-sided conversations, sonogram pictures on Facebook, laziness, junk food (MOST of the time) and low self-esteem.

Settling into that NYC state of mind, working, planning a trek through Scandinavia and spending time with friends.

I am PRETTY good at playing hockey, racing triathlon and speaking French, but I am REALLY good at eating.

Hair and eyes? I really have no idea.

Books - I read a lot of non-fiction now, but the artist in me loves Hemingway. Oh, and The Economist and NYT are consumed weekly.

Movies - A LOT of Netflix. Mostly foreign films, documentaries and classics with some new releases mixed in.

Shows - I don't have cable, but lately I have been enjoying Parks and Rec, How I Met Your Mother, Game of Thrones and Breaking Bad via Netflix.

Music - Jazz and electronic music. Big Miles Davis and Daft Punk fan.

Love food and have a huge weakness for cheese and pork. Currently overwhelmed by the amount of restaurants to try in New York!

My iPhone, my bike, exercise, literacy, food, Strava.

What's next.

Either at home watching a movie, or out at one of those happy hours that last many hours and into the next morning.

I watch C-SPAN....willingly.

You have a sense of humor, love life, are passionate, are driven, are willing to try new things, and believe that both the body and mind should be healthy.
