I moved to Boston for graduate school a couple of years ago and I'm totally loving it here. I've traveled to and lived in a lot of different countries, although I'm originally from Iowa. I'm a writer, and I currently teach writing at the college level. I'm also a fulltime MFA student in creative nonfiction writing. Anddd, lastly, I also volunteer teach an ESL class at a women's shelter (which is awesome, in case you're wondering).
I have a dog who goes everywhere with me. You may spot us on the T, on a bus, strolling around the city...
I'm a big runner, but I really love anything athletic. Going to the gym is exciting for me- not a chore. Being outside is even better.
I'm obsessed with books and other publications, as you would imagine a writer would be. I always have music or NPR on, although if I had a TV, it'd be great to have ESPN on in the background.
Definitely looking for someone intelligent and active, but most importantly I love to be around people who don't take themselves too seriously and can put up with me frequently laughing and being weird.
Lastly, you have to appreciate food. I'm at my happiest when I'm cooking and serving other people...having a glass of wine...I'm very independent, but very much like having someone (besides the dog) to take care of.
