OkCupid is Free Online Dating.

Ok long story short I'm sweet and passionate and kind of a hottie. Now, care to play a little game? Two Truths and a Lie: guess what's true, guess the lie:
1) A certain reclusive species of blind cave-dwelling fish is named after a member of my family
2) I faced off with an angry bull elephant in the African bush...and won.
3) I'm listed in dental medicine history books for my unique teeth.
Give it your best shot, what do you have to lose?

Now, a little more about me: Traveling is my biggest passion. I love to learn about new cultures, languages, people, perspectives; it's probably why I became a teacher. I've had mind-blowing experiences with amazing people all over the world that have shaped me into a confident, independent, open-minded, sexy and compassionate soul. But now I've finally 'settled' in SF and am relishing the experience of owning furniture and other items not so easily stuffed in a backpack.

I love ALL outdoor activities, especially hiking, kayaking, snowboarding, scuba diving, camping, running, and swimming. A woman with eclectic tastes, I can be found anywhere from BBQing on Ocean Beach to wearing heels at a wine bar to dancing all night at a sweet-as(s) club. I lost my Burning Man virginity last year and can't wait to go back. I'm passionate about my family and friends, music of all kinds, dancing til the wee hours, dark chocolate with a cocoa content of at least 65%, stimulating conversation, protecting and exploring nature, trying everything once, healthy tasty food, writing, and cuddling up in front of a movie (I'm a FANTASTIC cuddler!). I love to laugh til my sides ache, and do so often.

I'm one of those truly nice women that everyone feels comfortable talking to...probably because I'm as big a dork as anyone else, though hiding in the body of a vixen!

Living it to the fullest.

For work, I edumacate 22 incredible little souls in 3rd grade at a Waldorf School. I've been with the same class for 2 years now and I absolutely love working with them. I'm truly passionate about what I do but know how to balance my life.

How long do you have? Ha ha! Seriously, this question is far too open-ended and while I have many talents, both strange and expected, I'd rather let them make themselves known naturally.

I remind them of someone they love and cherish. Seriously, this has happened far too frequently to be a coincidence and honestly, I don't really believe in coincidences anyway.

Bill Bryson, Amelie, National Geographic, Thai, Breakbeats, Toni Morrison, The Breakfast Club, Bluegrass, sushi, ahhh...screw it, too much to list! I like so much!

Love.

Connections. The state of the world. My goals and dreams. Balance. My next travel destination.

done with work until Monday. Otherwise, if you know San Francisco, you know there is nothing typical about any Friday night here.

I can't roll my tongue....I know, how awful!

you are looking for more than hot sex. Seriously, though I am blonde and beautiful and understand the importance of physicality in a relationship, I have an even sexier brain...and I like to use it.

Teach me something new, spark my curiousity, give me constructive feedback, start a debate, get me rolling on the ground with laughter (yes, there have been emails that have done this for me!)....I will respond to anything creative and thoughtful. But no, I will not respond to a 'woo'.
