I am spontaneous, warm, and present.

My Self-Summary

Fun, spontaneous, curious, creative, full of life and wanting even more! I'm a 38-year-old successful former Peace Corps volunteer turned high tech professional. Most of the time I have more energy and ideas than time. I love rock climbing, hiking, yoga, foreign films, indie films, hanging out with friends, spicy food, eating healthy, and exercise of any kind, especially outdoors and inventing things I rarely build. I'd like to work more on the building part. I've done a little mountain biking, taekwondo, and surfing and would love to try hang-gliding and trapeze-ing? I meditate and enjoy all kinds of music and performance. I play piano, guitar, and a little tenor sax. I'm taking an improv acting class and enjoy writing, reading, humor, and all forms of art. I'd love to form a deep and strong connection with someone who will play, create, challenge, support, and inspire me while we each step into our next adventure. I love my amazing friends most of all, but also enjoy kids, animals, art, adventure, travel, nature, and really everything else in life!

I spend a lot of time thinking about

Connection and creativity.

On a typical Friday night I am

Enjoying a warm, active yet relaxing evening laughing with friends.

The most private thing I’m willing to admit here

I don't know how, but recently I finally started to be able to consider believing it when people say I'm sexy!
