I am passionate about discovering new things and sharing them with someone I care about. Whether it is new places, new music, new foods, new friends, new ideas, etc., I have a deep curiousity and sense of adventure. With a big heart, a great sense of humor, a desire to make the world a better place, and a playful attitude, I'm ready to start the next chapter of my life with a wonderful man.

I love being involved in a variety of activities! Hiking, exploring the city, baking (you should try my triple chocolate cake!), dining with friends, local events like music festivals, road trips, volunteering, boating, pilates, salsa dancing, teaching, etc. I feel happy in jeans and sneakers chasing the sunset with my camera at the beach one evening, snuggling on the couch watching a movie with my man another and being dressed up and dancing out on the town the next night. I enjoy an adventure as much as I enjoy a quiet evening, especially when shared with someone special.

I am on an adventure! I love my work, social innovation/inventing to solve important problems is both exciting and fulfilling. I enjoy spending time with friends and family while I'm also looking forward to making new friends and dating to find my life partner so we can enjoy all that life has to offer together.

Being a friend, daughter and auntie. Helping people. Solving problems creatively. My job. Baking. Planning fun activities to share with others. Throwing parties. Making people laugh and feel happy. Creating romance. Communicating without knowing the language. Surprising people with something special. Hugs.

The twinkle in my eye and my big heart.

Favorite activities:
1. Hiking with friends. I especially love feeling invigorated by the ever-changing landscapes…the views are breath-taking and such fun to capture with my camera and spirit.
2. Movies, Music and Dancing. I am always up for a good movie or concert – for movies: dramas, comedies, adventure, thrillers, indies and more! And music, anything but Country makes me smile and feel like moving to the beat!
3. Travel. Exploring different cultures, cuisines, sites, museums, nightlife, beaches, etc. brings me great pleasure. Whether finding a new neighborhood here, a quick road trip nearby or an adventure across the globe, I love it- especially when shared.
4. Learning, Teaching, and Volunteering. While I love to constantly learn new things (recently took salsa and sailing lessons and next up is pottery and wine tasting), I enjoy sharing my knowledge and inspiring others through teaching and volunteering/pro bono consulting with a number of non-profits.

What else might I do to make the world a better place...
How many more minutes on the elliptical must I complete to have a piece of chocolate cake...
Which invention should I develop next...
What's that word in Spanish?

Typical? That's not in my vocabulary!

I believe in open communication and am happy to share with you what you'd like to know when we get to know each other.

I saved you as a favorite- I'd love to hear from you!
If... you'd like to get me know better and share some adventures, develop a new friendship, possibly even fall in love...
