People always ask me if I'm from California because they think I'm too mellow to be a (native) New Yorker. My grade school teacher once told me that based on my writing, she suspected I had an old soul. I'm an idealist at heart, but am also a cynic. I'm genuinely nice. I'm not afraid to walk in the rain or get my hands dirty. I appreciate honesty and kindness. I enjoy "me" time. I love to travel and feed my curiosity for people, places and experiences (5 continents, 27 countries and many more to go). I'm an avid learner. I'm a mild-mannered tree-hugger. I like to be inspired. Depending on my mood, I can be a hermit, a hedonist or an altruist. Most days, I am all three.
I recently moved back to NYC after living abroad for two years. I still think New York is one of the greatest cities in the world, and I look forward to re-discovering it on my own terms. That said, I am looking to expand my social circle and meet some new friends/activity partners along the way.
About him: he's uninhibited, passionate and has the ability to laugh at himself. He's true to others and to himself. He can find simple pleasures in the everyday and enjoys a sense of balance. He enjoys traveling to places near and far. He's not afraid to walk in the rain or wear his heart on his sleeve. He's an avid learner and is humbled by the notion that he doesn't know it all. He appreciates open-minded people, good conversation and meaningful connections.
