Ah self-summary, who knows what that means. -- I'm easy going, have a great group of friends and family, am interested in enjoying life, politics (although not lately), travel, good food and wine, and just enjoying the opportunities all around (the city and the world). Haven't lived here in many years and am excited to explore the foodie scene that has seemed to have developed in my absence!

Figuring it out! From St. Louis and recently moved back after living in Washington DC and abroad. Worked in the international realm and luckily in that line of work I got to travel to fun (and sometimes off the beaten path) places. In the past few years I have been India, Southeast Asia, and Africa (check mark on the bucket list - safari done).

Next up - who knows, but doing some legal work and getting reacquainted with this fair city in the meantime...

Planning (anything, a trip, a dinner out, a party)
Listening
Being on time
Picking a bottle of wine - my friends hand the wine list directly to me at restaurants

Books: I usually read non-fiction or historical fiction but am in a book club with some girlfriends that has opened the door to a lot of books I wouldn't normally read. Others I have loved, Shantarum, A Fine Balance, Eat Pray Love (I hesitate to admit that, but I did).

Movies: The Bourne Movies - love them. I'm pretty open to films, hard to list favorites.

Music: A wide variety, but like classic rock, Ray LaMontagne, New Pornographers, Postal Service (again, must credit friends with expanding my horizons). I use my ipod mostly for working out and left to my own devices would probably only have Rhianna and Lady Gaga or whatever horrible stuff I hear I on the radio!

Food: I'm not a picky eater, I love asian (indian, thai, japanese), a good steak (my dad makes the best by far), anything fresh and healthy, and ice cream

My people
Coffee
Laughter
Being outside
News (NY Times, Jon Stewart, US Weekly)
Passport

What to do with my life, whether it's tonight or ten years from now...
The next place I want to travel and how I'm going to get there...

Trying a new restaurant or bar, or happily cooking dinner and watching a movie after a long week of work

It seems like we would get along. You like to cook and enjoy a nice a glass of vino. Love of travel is a big big plus.
