My self-summary
Friends say I’m adventurous, artsy, colorful, creative, dynamic -- a warm, free-spirit whose hearty laugh is filled with Joie de vivre. I've been told I that I make people feel understood, important and valued…that I’m a spontaneous, caring and honest soul-- true to myself, loyal and generous - but quite unconventional. I have alot of those grounded, magnetic, earthy East Coast sensibilities. I'm a lover of Beauty, aesthetics and style too!

I’m also intellectually curious, and love to learn about new people, places and things. I enjoy the spice of life, like visiting the Sahara desert, checking out Mayan ruins, going sailing in the bay or in Turkey, Mexico.... or quiet evenings at home with friends or the man I love--with a great bottle of wine and a yummy home cooked meal! Having lived in France for 2 years I also love anything French! Can't wait to go back!

Growing up I studied music and art and enjoyed playing jazz piano, singing jazz and my own music as well as playing banjo, mandolin and guitar! I'm still playing some piano, love to do photography and love the arts!

Friends say I bring laughter, playfulness, care and devotion into my interactions with people. I’m an enthusiastic world traveler and I appreciate spending time outdoors in nature and LOVE being by the water- love to sail, swim and just be near or in the water! I love an adventure and it can be far away or right next door. Adventure is a state of mind BUT just in case I have a passport ready! For me, life is about taking chances, stepping out of the box, and--most of all--forging real connections.

I know what really matters in life and that is matters of the heart: family, friendships, community.....and spending time with the people I’m close to. I'd prefer deep rich conversations with a select few people than hours of small talk with many.

I'm looking for a best friend, lover, activity partner, playmate, co-explorer, sensualist - someone I can't wait to be with, go out with, stay in with, discover with, and journey with.
