I am a bit of a paradox. I can be the "girl next door," but I am also progressively free thinking. I love long walks in nature as well as being right in the middle of the busy city. I feel at home at a posh cocktail party as well as one that is alternative, underground. I love tradition and innovation. I have many friends and enjoy large social events, yet I am introvert who values alone time. I am looking for someone who can appreciate my love for the various aspects of life.

I have a soft spot for all of the guys I've ever been with and am friends with all of my ex's who are open to it. I don't have much tolerance for people who complain a great deal about how bad their ex was. Relationships are a two-way street.

I believe that where/how you direct your mental energy influences what your life becomes.

I teach English as a second language at a private company, and I facilitate shamanic rituals and ceremonies.

Understanding people, teaching, facilitating and organizing groups, making people feel comfortable, and singing.

My eyes, smile, and kindness.
