I am a woman who appreciates the simple things in life, but isn't afraid of the complexities it has to offer ...
A few experiences that have shaped who I am today ...
After backpacking for weeks in the wild, and literally drinking out of a puddle surrounded by cow s**t, I will never take a fresh glass of water for granted! Traveling the world opens my eyes to the privileges I am afforded in this life and keeps me humble. Working with the disadvantaged, as a social worked in NYC, helped develop my compassion for human beings and their hardships. It also taught me that taking care of my self is equally as important as caring for others. Driving across country reminds me that playing in nature is blissful ... and being adventurous makes me feel alive!
I am self-sufficient and can handle silence, but feel fulfilled by genuine relationships, deep conversation and good company. I enjoy dining out with a nice bottle of wine .. but, not for my weekly meals .. I love cooking and am quite skilled at making something out of whatever I happen to have around. I work hard during the day, and make it a priority to take care of my self, physically and mentally .. and am looking for someone who has similar values.
Traveling the world is essential .. it keeps me grounded, reminds me of the bigger picture, of whats really important, and creates memories of times that have taken my breath away! Next up .. Nepal, Peru and Hawaii .... anyone? anyone?
Basic qualities like integrity, honesty, communication skills, kindness, and respect are key to any real successful relationship. My partner should be my best friend, the person I can play with and be serious with ... I would rather be alone than with someone for the wrong reason ... for now, am searching for someone who is on the same page as me, even same chapter would be a start .. and a genuine connection, which ultimately can't be forced.
