All around easy-going woman, full of contradictions but somehow everything seems to fall into place. Love some world music but can also rock out, love to travel to exotic, far-away, international spots but can also stay home on a Friday night and be as happy as a clam. Am a city-girl but can appreciate a sweaty hike in the woods. Can be super-productive but also have the gift of knowing how to be mellow and relax, like i said, lots of opposites but it seems to work out just fine.

Really just a normal woman looking for a sweet guy - not looking to convince you that I'm the one (although that would be a beautiful thing if we connect, truly) - just looking to spend some time with someone that I will click with, where conversation will be easy, with some natural laughter, yummy attraction and an overall sweet vibe.

Extras that would be super-sweet: you have a truly diverse taste in music and love to dance, you are always planning your next trip abroad (even if it's just in your head), you are a strong believer in human rights and you still believe in love, even if you've been broken-hearted a number of times (this last one is pretty important).

I'm a social worker and really love giving of myself for the greater good. Working towards improving the lives of others, especially folks that have little access to all the things that we so often take for granted.

Oh yeah, also trying to take life on day-by-day, trying to live in the moment and just be. And while I'm doing this I'm also trying to dance, laugh and keep my heart open as much as possible.

Helping people bounce back from a sad moment, looking at the positive and optimistic side of things, organizing your clutter, dancing a mean Samba, laying out on the beach for hours, planning the next trip, appreciating the art form of drinking tea, living abroad (lived in Brazil, Spain, London, Cairo, Puerto Rico), making out and getting my cuddle on.

My mellow, easy-going nature.
How soft my skin is.
My deep voice.

Catching a photo/art exhibit, getting my dance on or lounging on the sofa recuperating from a tough week at work. This last one is not very sexy, I know, but super cozy. Wanna join?

is that a part of me believes that i could find my soul mate online.

You are on the non-traditional side of things, you are comfortable with your feelings, aren't afraid of commitment (that is sooo tired) and are generally open to life and love.
