“Lovers don't finally meet somewhere. They're in each other all along.”
― Rumi

I graduated from UCLA majoring in Art History. Currently, I work at an awesome museum here in LA and I truly love it there. Friends define me as an outgoing, strong-willed, creative artsy type, and fun a loving cultured girl. I love the arts, Egyptology (I know a little bit of hieroglyphics; nerd alert !), traveling, and socializing. I'm always interested in trying something new, questioning the unknown, and gaining something new everyday; I find those qualities very valuable in others as well.

Why OkCupid ?
It is challenging meeting quality people out there. I decided to give the whole online dating thing a try; don't let me down !
My ideal match is someone who can appreciate all of the above but also offers different perspectives and experiences. I'm looking forward to meeting someone who is true to himself, who is passionate, goal-oriented, willing to try everything at least once, and has a great deal of interest in the arts.

If you are going to contact me please be respectful and it'd be really exiting to read more than the basic "Hey, how are you doing?" one liners !

Keeping up with growing up, living and learning

Setting every watch and clock to 10 minutes ahead of time so I won't be running late, creating, observing, listening, relating to others, not watching tv, being loyal, staying open to life experiences, striving to be a better person, persistence, sincerity, daring to be different, outspokenness (well actually, The-Emperor-Has No-Clothes type of outspokenness which gets me in trouble 99.9% of time), running late.

Hmm, my accent? You tell me
