I have become nerdier with age. I love movies...all of them. In theory I love reading, but I consume more audiobooks and comics than actual books. I enjoy the outdoors for playing, camping, running, walking, biking and picnicking. I also like getting cozy with someone on the couch. I like socially experimenting with myself to see how things make me feel. I'm in search of the perfect pub.

It would be great to meet someone with a positive attitude who has some geeky sensibilities/interests and thrives being around people.

I'm enjoying it.

I work as an active travel guide, leading biking and hiking treks around the world. Last year I spent 7 months in Italy doing that, and then over winter I did the same in Costa Rica. Between January and April 2013 I will have worked in Peru, Panama, Italy and probably Spain. If you come find me I promise I'll show you a good time.

It's hard to say at what points throughout the year I'll be in the US, but when I am I split my time between the East Bay, Los Angeles & Washington, DC.

I consider the East Bay to be home.

I'm in LA until April 18th then off to Europe.

Introducing you to new cinematic adventures, listening, relaxing, spooning, laughing, trying new things, and making the best of whatever life throws at me.

My friends tell me I make people instantly comfortable when they first meet me.

Once, as a stranger was shaking my hand and introducing herself she said, "your teeth are magnificent." It was a little awkward.

The impending zombie apocalypse.

Otherwise, the next film I want to see.

These days anything is possible...

Fridays in January included...

-Beach bonfire in Costa Rica with friends after a 60km bike ride
-Redeye from Costa Rica to Cusco, Peru
-Soaking in natural hot springs on a jungle trek up to Machu Picchu
-Sleeping on an island on Lake Titicaca
-Training run in San Diego for a ToughMudder

I tend to crush on everyone I meet.

The only thing that would disqualify any interest on my end is if you didn't support gay rights or women's reproductive rights. You should also probably be more progressive/liberal in general. Most things I am flexible on.

Otherwise, bonus points if:
-you want to go camping with me
-you want someone to go to concerts with
-you think feminism is a sexy word
-you enjoy watching/talking about film/tv
-you are okay with my lack of interest in pro sports
-you want a partner in crime to try new things and DIY
-you enjoy active/budget travel
-you want to play board games with me
-you don't take this list completely seriously
