Fun-loving graduate student with appetite for adventure, gourmet cuisine and mischief seeks partner in crime.

Last summer I trekked through the Indian Himalayas, rode a motorcycle along the Bay of Bengal, and watched the sun rise over the Ganges in Banaras. I love to travel. And I'm a bit of an India-phile, in case you hadn't noticed :)

I'm also a bit of an intellectual. In addition to reading Sanskrit and studying Hinduism and Buddhism, I work as a teaching and research assistant. An academic career is what I envision -- but really any career that subsidizes air travel to South Asia is fine!

I like communication, honesty, mutual attraction, compatibility. I dislike socks with sandals (if you do that, i won't talk to you), mom jeans, crocs, arse cleavage (unless you actually are a plumber, in which case I have a question about my sink).

I'd like to meet someone who has substance, who also recognizes and appreciates substance in a man, preferably someone with a university education (completed or in process). I find that I'm particularly drawn to literary types and lovers of film and the arts. And of course I'm always impressed by someone who can put together a great look.

Finally, no crazy women please (i.e. if you own more than three cats, please do not read on). But, if it sounds like you fit the bill... Let's talk! I'd love to get to know you ;)
