Hey there!

It's cold outside, but after walking around the city and looking at all the Christmas trees and maybe watching a few too many bad Xmas Rom Coms, I was inspired to post. I have lurked on this sub for a while, and I have greatly enjoyed reading about so many intriguing and lovely people looking for a connection.

I enjoy my work and tend to do well for myself, but my career isn't what defines me, so I won't bore you with what I do. Instead, I'll tell you a little bit about my story and who I am now, and what I am seeking here. If it resonates with you, send me a message telling me about you and what you're seeking.

About me:

• I live on my own with my 5 yr old Jack Russel
• I am currently finishing up a 3 year grad school program and I can't wait to have my life back
• I am a morning person, so I'm in bed by 9 most days
• I have lived outside the US for almost a decade, only returning a year ago
• I enjoy cooking, but I enjoy eating more (Ethiopian, Indian are my current faves)
• I read a lot of non-fiction, but watch some really crappy shows to balance it out
• I spend most of my weekends out and about hiking or traveling
• I am tall and have a fit build
• I was born in South America but spent my formative years in the States

What I'm looking for:

• a strong communicator, someone who knows what they want out of life and is comfortable as an individual
• a kind and generous person who is thoughtful and considerate
• someone who is passionate about what they do - doesn't matter what it is
• someone who enjoys travel, is outgoing, and not shy
• someone who isn't held back by previous relationships and lives in the moment; someone who is ready for a long term relationship
• someone who is curious and can teach me new things
• someone who enjoys sports and being active (I participate in a good amount of adult sport leagues)

I am happy to share more! Figured this a good starting point. Also, happy to exchange pics. In any case, thanks for reading and I hope you have a great holiday season!
