I'm told my energy and laugh are contagious. I love life. I'm laid back yet ambitious and always ready for fun. I like laid back, fun (especially funny), confident, and intelligent people who make the most of life and want to impact the world around them (even in the smallest of ways).
I do it all-- culture/bars/clubs/sports/relaxing at home. I am big on the value of travel and worldliness (I was born internationally). My family and friends are a big part of who I am and I spend as much time with them as I can--it appeals to my extroverted nature and this is true, "Russians are friends for life. They will walk through fire for you". I'd like to do more international (and national) traveling with time, although I've done a fair share.
I love music, theater, and art--whether it be singing, or going to an art museum (yeah i'm a little dorky at times). I'm very physically active and healthy; since it's a huge part of my life I want to find someone who can share this interest. I bike, swim, and run on a daily basis (just completed my first triathlon and now I'm hooked). I also like yoga, hiking, zumba, weight lifting, and backpacking (although have not backpacked in a long time).
I'm always looking to do something I've never done before, take risks, and learn new things. One of my favorite things to do is just explore new places in the city and in the country and meet random new people along the way who share their stories. My mantra is to make the most of life in every moment :) Why not!? I'm hoping I can find someone who shares my values and can be side by side with me in life's adventures.
