I am a fun-loving, intellectually curious woman who loves scrabble, wine, hula hooping, dancing, cooking, irreverent humor (i.e. The Onion), NPR, foreign films, the Spanish language, rugby songs, travel.

Latin American history and the Spanish language are my passions. Films, documentaries, books and articles about Latin America always hold my interest.

I feel strongly about poverty reduction, immigrant rights, child welfare and having fun!

Apathy, dishonesty and moodiness are major turn-offs. Humor, compassion, social conscience and a love of learning are all turn-ons. I hope to find someone who shares my love of history, travel, languages.

I teach high school Spanish

parallel parking, making chicken pot pie, hula hooping, scrabble, taking care of people, having fun.

I have very blue eyes.
I am outgoing and meet people easily.
I have a very unusual name

I have an intense interest in languages -etymology, Spanish linguistics, Boston accents, el voseo

Others: getting a dog, international travel, graduate school, my friends and family, making the perfect dance party playlist, taking some dance classes (Irish line dancing, tango, salsa).

Out with friends dancing at Wonderland, DC9 or a house party with music & dancing. If I'm not out, I'm cooking dinner with friends or watching a netflix movie.

When I was 6-7 years old I had a crush on Dr. Egon Spengler from Ghostbusters.

You are bilingual, liberal, up for some Spanish scrabble.

sólo estoy sólo y estoy buscando
es a alguien que me está esperando
que me entienda y si no me entiende
alguien que me comprende
alguien a alguien para recordar
de memoria cuando estoy de viaje
cuando estoy muy lejos y
soy un vagabundo y camino bastante
alrededor del mundo
pero quiero volver a mi casa
a alguna casa
para encontrar a esa princesa vampira (mejor dicho príncipe vampiro)
que respira
que respira y me mira
