Things that float my boat:
Traveling to new places and exploring
Dancing (I have incredible difficulty keeping my feet and hips still when I hear a good song)
Brown bag beers or wine in the park with friends on a warm summer eve
Collecting miles and flying around the world for free
Photography
Cilantro, basil, ginger, pumpkin, coconut, avocado, goat cheese, and burritos... though typically not together
Making lists and feeling productive as I cross things off (nerd alert!)

Things I could easily do without:
Negativity
Littering
Umbrellas
Traffic on 76 (listening to interesting interviews on NPR helps)

I work full time in the area now, but in my heart I'm a travel fanatic... drop me off anywhere in South Asia or India and I'm perfectly content to take each day as it comes. I love wandering around small villages, attempting to capture my experiences and the beauty I see with my camera, learning about different cultures through kindhearted locals and fellow travelers from countries around the world, trying new foods, realizing how fortunate I am after seeing how little some people have, and the list goes on. I've taken two of these 6-month journeys in the past 3 years and now I'm settled back in Philly.... it was life changing stuff for sure!

When I'm not daydreaming about traveling to far away lands, I enjoy my Brazilian samba drum classes, yoga, talking for hours with friends over a couple of beers, cooking and consuming yummy vegetarian fare (been veggie since birth, but don't expect you to be), and spending time with my family.

Daydreaming about travel - and making it happen
Making goat cheese, tomato, and basil omelettes
Navigating other countries
Eating pumpkin pie. A LOT of pumpkin pie
Stopping to smell the flowers... umm yeah, literally

My warm gap-toothed smile and my long legs. (on that note... guys, I'm tall and prefer to date someone near my height or taller than me)

And I usually hear that I look much younger than I am. (I'll take it!)

Movies:
Harold and Maude all the way.
Also... 180 Degrees South (breathtakingly beautiful cinematography) Dancer in the Dark, Cinema Paradiso, The Breakfast Club, The Jerk, Adaptation, Lost in Translation, and countless others that aren't coming to mind at the moment.

Music:
Recently found singing along at top volume in my car with the following:
Frightened Rabbit, Akron/Family, Tame Impala, Bon Iver, Beirut, Neutral Milk Hotel, Bad Brains, LCD Soundsystem, Chris Whitley, Silver Jews, The Talk, Jessica Lea Mayfield, Led Zeppelin, Vieux Farka Toure, Mumford & Sons, The Misfits, Joni Mitchell, Rolling Stones, Arcade Fire, Sigur Rós, Mimicking Birds, Edward Sharpe & The Magnetic Zeros, Dr. Dog...

TV:
Trying my best to avoid it. It's been a couple of years since I regularly watched any shows. When I used to, Lost was my favorite. Not psyched about the ending, though. And The Wire was good stuff. Same goes for The Sopranos. Oh yeah, and The Office absolutely cracks my shit up.
Update: Recently revisited both seasons of Twin Peaks for the first time in... *ahem* many years. I loved it all over again.

Books:
Tales of a Female Nomad, Wild, Moloka'i, Geek Love (haven't read it in years, need a refresher), The Story of Ferdinand the Bull, The Journey is the Destination, The Color Purple, The Shadow of the Wind, She’s Come Undone, Room, Edgar Sawtelle, The Bean Trees...

Food:
Anything vegetarian works for me! Indian, Thai, Indonesian, Ethiopian, Mexican, Vietnamese... And I’ve got a serious sweet tooth.
It's not a deal-breaker if you're not vegetarian, but bonus if you're open to trying some veggie options in case I'm cooking. :)

My Brazilian Samba drum classes - I rock out with felt mallets on a big ol' bass drum
The warmth of the Spring sun after a long Winter
Watching my three awesome nephews grow up
Laughing my ass off with my girlfriends
Anything pumpkin flavored, with a major emphasis on ice cream
Mi familia
Thin Mints

That's more than six. I never was a math whiz.

Travel. Travel. Travel.
And how awesome it would be to meet someone and have a travel partner.

Laughing over a couple of drinks with friends, planning my next trip, relaxing on my comfy new couch... or all three.

It doesn't take much to make me blush, and I'm terrified of public speaking.

You enjoy creativity or being creative in some way... perhaps photography, doodling, kite-making, orchid-breeding, fort-building, music, cooking, whistling, stone skipping, finger painting, looking at art, button collecting, traveling, dancing, creating awesome mixtapes, etc.

You prefer a dive bar to a sports bar.

No smokers, purrrdy please.
