Hola. I'm originally from Seattle, but have spent the past 3+ years living and working abroad in Peru, Guatemala and Spain. I recently moved to the Bay Area for a job with a non-profit and am currently living in a ridiculously awesome international warehouse in SoMa. I am into traveling, the outdoors, bicycling (just finished a month-long bike trip from Prague to Berlin and back!), soccer, art, photography, live music, exploring cities, cooking, Latin America, reading, dancing, yoga, tasty beers, people who follow their passions. I am newly single and new to online dating, so not really sure how this all works yet... maybe you can show me?

I am passionate about my work and am currently with a human rights organization in SF. In my free time, I can be found hanging with friends, cruising on my bike, playing soccer, exploring the city, reading, cooking creative meals, photo bombing, and in general, trying to learn sweet new skills.

Finding gems in used clothing stores. Sneaking into long lines. Napping. Bicycling in traffic. Taking pictures. Coming up with ideas on the spot. Massages. Talking to strangers. Directions.

I think my smile and my eyes. And sometimes my shoes.

When I was 6 years old I traded a two-foot tall transformer to my older neighbor for five my little ponies. I am not proud of this.
