I'm a world-hugger, passionate about music & living art, travel, counterculture, outside-the-box education, futurism, simplicity, and belief.

Just moved across the country to Virginia and looking to meet folks and get rooted.

I'm an artist at heart, and I'm often stunned by the amount of beauty and richness in the world. I'm always digging for deeper meaning and looking for ways to make a positive impact.

I'm an introverted people person, quiet in volume but with lots to say.

INTP / INFP on the Myers Briggs, which describes me as The Thinker / The Idealist.

Working in the Study Abroad field in higher ed, helping others embark on their journeys of self-discovery and expansion. Pursuing a Master's in Education, and setting aside my training in film and sound arts for the time being. Figuring it out.

a million random talents. Drumming to impossible time signatures on non-drum objects, juggling, double-jointedness, mouth sound effects, slipping abstract humor into conversations unexpectedly.

Also loyalty, kind honesty, and seeing things from a different point of view.

I've been told that my voice is calming and that my hands are always warm.

People who I've just met say my piercing seems out of character - but closer friends 'get' it.

what the world will be like when we're old fogies. Our generation will seem so prejudiced when our grandkids start fighting for civil rights for nonorganic intelligence.

Putting on tunes & dropping out, or having people over for movies, drinks, games. I'm a bit of a board game geek.

Also, planning the next adventure! Throwing darts at a map. I was last in Delhi, Hyderabad and Mumbai and I'm overflowing with stories.

When I first saw Star Wars as a kid, I thought Yoda was human and that's just what people look like when they hit their 900th birthday.

I get bored with the dating "game". I think it should be possible for people to get along and be honest about how they feel. Manipulation has no part in that. For me, honesty and truth are most important and I put a lot of care into being genuine in any kind of relationship. If you can relate, we'll probably get along splendidly. *steps off soapbox*

you're a dreamer, a happy rebel, if you're in love with being alive...then let's wander together :)

Also, message me if you can think of an appropriate use for the winky frowny emoticon. ;(
