An English transplant - looking for a smashing girl with a sense of adventure.

I recently graduated from UCD and now work at a biotech company. Work is both serious and fun for me, but (unlike graduate school) it usually leaves me with weekends free and many evenings.

Favorite travel locations (and favorite activity):
1) California (various)
2) Indonesia (volcano)
3) Brazil (wildlife / landscape)
4) France (climbing / culture / weather)

I also travel back to England annually and have a completely different life out there that I still sometimes miss. Ask me about the llamas.

I'm really good at getting caught
in thunderstorms or a train of thought.

I'm found quite often climbing stones,
or hiding out and eating scones.
So, I climb on rocks inside and out
though during winters I'm less devout.

I prefer to do what sport's in season
In California there's just no reason
not to try it all; I think you'd agree-
there's so much here to do and see.

To skip this one would be evasion:
I'm found in ballrooms on occasion.
I'm not too bad at waltz and swing,
but for salsa I'm really not the king.

I make a decent brunch or break-fast
and my at my dinners you'd not be aghast-
it depends on what you like to eat.
I'm also a sucker for something sweet.

Probably my english accent...?

Top 6 things that I am spectacularly BAD at:
1) Wine tasting. It is fun to try, though
2) Talking about professional sports or sports players. Seriously- if you need reasoned conversation about professional sports you are in the wrong place.
3) Gluing anything.
4) Cultivating a garden (with the exception of my monumentally massive orange tree which I love dearly for all it's citrusy deliciousness)
5) Foosball
6) Interior decoration (a serious work-in-progress)

Instead of todays regularly scheduled programme, we bring you Your top 6 things about Wiloughby (in order of significance):
1) His pet cat
2) He cooks breakfasts at the weekends
3) Always has coffee / ice-cream / avocados at his place
4) Friends are envious that I date a guy with an accent
5) [redacted]
6) His amazing personality!

The lament of my OKcupid profile

'Twas the night after Thursday and nothing did stir,
Not even the housecat except for a purr.
"Where's Wiloughby?" Cries Cupid: Our actor is missing!
We have a sweet girl here whose lips are worth kissing!

Again he is gone! This simply won't do,
If this happens again then I fear that we're through!
What's this? A note? It's scribbled in pen:
"OKcupid, don't fret - I'll be back here by ten"

"I'm buying food for the trip, and gas for the car,
I need cans of red bull and an energy bar"
"I've got sunscreen and chapstick and a tent to unfurl,
but the one thing I lack is a sweet-tempered girl!"

love may transform me to an oyster
(-Much ado about nothing)

it's something I'm willing to risk, though.

If you know the way to San José
and love to swim and laugh and play,
and take long walks upon the sand,
and don't hate it if I take your hand.

If you can smile and recall why,
the brilliant blue of a cloudless sky,
is surely the best part of a day,
where we also swam, and laughed, and played.

If you can sit and watch a screen
in black-and-white or full-color 3-D
and love the message and not the medium
Then you might just be the magic ingredient.

Ingredient for what? You contemplate:
I'm not a cake! I can't be ate!
But truth be told, I can't deceive;
You're the most delicious girl I've seen.

If skiing down some snowy slopes,
or conquering peaks with chalk and ropes,
is something you could grow to see,
yourself enjoying? Please message me!
