I can be both sophisticated and outdoorsy, dress up one day and go backpacking the next. I'm social and love to be around friends and family, and I also like my personal time to reflect.

I'm originally from France, and after 10+ years in the states I've become a mix of both european and american cultures.

I love to learn, go on new adventures, and travel... This year I've traveled to Europe (France/UK/Spain/Italy) and Bali, and I'm already thinking about the next vacation (Jordan, Nepal, Thailand....?).

I also love the simple pleasures of life.... spending time with friends/family, appreciating good food, being outdoor in nature, talking about various topics from politics to life in general...

baking (orange and chocolate cakes are my specialties), sports (hiking, swimming, climbing, yoga, skiing among others), photography, and exchanging ideas.
I like variety and challenges - a 10 mile hike in Yosemite? I'm in! A backpacking trip to Guatemala, a chilled vacation in Mexico? I'm in!

Tell me... although accent may come first

books: various non fiction

Movies... lots of different types of movies but mostly comedies.
Some I've enjoyed are "Les Miserables", "The King's Speech", "Black Swan", and "Les Intouchables".

Food...bias toward European food, desserts, dark chocolate, good espresso, good wine and Fromage!

-Friends
-Family: My trips to France to visit my family are a must
-New adventures and experiences
-Vacations and travel
-My wide-aperture camera lenses
-Pinot noir

the next destination, the next idea, Mars & Venus, when will I take a year off to go around the world, would I be backpacking or sailing or?....

so ready for the week-end.... and having dinner or drinks with friends

I'm on okcupid :-) ok, I can do better than that, I did a one-week meditation retreat at the beginning of 2012, and I enjoyed it!

you like the outdoors, you're smart, fun, genuine, you've traveled, you're looking for an equal life partner, and you just feel like writing me!
