I'm currently living and working in Colombia, teaching Statistics at a University in Barranquilla. I am leaning towards moving back to the US or Europe, but am also open to staying here permanently if I meet the right person. I love my job here but feel somewhat isolated as a gringa in Barranquilla. I am going to be in the Sacramento and San Francisco areas in California in December and probably through June and July.

I like to hike, backpack, scuba dive, bike ride, travel, read classic literature, well-written science fiction/fantasy and modern/edgy/surrealistic fiction as well as social, economic and political commentary and other types of non-fiction.

I believe working towards self-awareness and trying to be the best person I can are important.

I like to stay active and go to the gym regularly.

I'm looking for someone who has learned from his past relationship mistakes and is working towards self-awareness; who knows how to handle conflict in a relationship, wants a relationship with someone he considers his intellectual and emotional equal, and who shares my interests in travel, outdoor activities, and social and environmental justice.

I have been working in Academia since completing my Ph.D. I have always wanted to live abroad, become fluent in another language, and travel. So I'm doing all three now. It's been a great experience, but I would like to find a place to really call home.

Thinking a problem through, listening, talking.

I've never asked....

Authors: Iain M. Banks, Ursula LeGuin, Neal Stephenson, Bertrand Russell, many others.

Music: a wide variety of alternative, independent, and mainstream rock (old and new); classical, blues, jazz, world, and yes, even rap, punk and country.

Food: healthy, ethnic, home-made

A good book, a good friend, interesting and meaningful work, a good vacation, time with my kids (all grown), good conversation.

Social justice/injustice; what I'm doing right or wrong in my life; my next adventure; my work

Relaxing at home, looking forward to Saturday's adventure.

I'm not completely sure what I'll be doing next year.

I seem interesting!
