CURRENT MISSION

To have fun. meet new people. enjoy life.

ABOUT ME

Please look at my UPDATED profile photos, I am about 18-21 in my original, I can’t figure out how to delete them on my mobile. I am 26 now. Also I used to be verified but haven’t CSed in a few years....

Hello! I think i am an open minded, adventurous, kind, and respectful person. I think it’s important to not judge any books by their cover & to try to live life freely but with gratitude.
I like to have fun, go out to bars, dance to DJs or any live music and meet new people. I like traveling, visiting an art museum or seeing some architectural sights in a city.
I love cooking and trying new things. I am so in love with my cast iron skillet I got this year, so versatile! Let me cook for you as a thank you!
This year ive been trying to be more active by running a couple miles outside and going to the climbing gym. I try to ride my bike as much as possible and take public transport. I also love to swim (naked!!), ski-with warm clothes on, and play tennis.

I am independent, driven & artistic.

I grew up in a ski town in rural PA went to college in Boston. Studied abroad in Holland (learned about bicycle infrastructure and urban planning) & also had the opportunity to study abroad in Siena, Italy. Mi piache!! I love being in the city because of the amenities, luxuries, waves of people, arts & culture...but i really cherish the peaceful time I can spend in mountains, on lakes, at the ocean, in the woods or elsewhere in our beautiful natural world. I am so at ease when I can see stars in the sky, but cities are SUPER fun to visit!

I am currently living in Berkeley CA for about 2 years. I work for a meal kit 2.0. company that has a mission to get our healthy, plant forward meals into school meal programs including the 30 million kids who qualify for reduced or free meals with the National School Lunch Program. (Let’s chat about it!)

PHILOSOPHY

Treat others how you'd like to be treated.
Dance like nobody is looking.

Interests

I love all kinds of design, art and architecture. I also enjoy photography and practicing with own my camera. I like going to the beach, with a book or magazine and relaxing in the sun but mostly to take a dip in the waves! I enjoy skiing and walking in the mountains, rafting, golfing, swimming, camping, skinny dipping, sun bathing with no clothes, 420, being outdoors, & relaxing. Love visiting nudist places and homes. Feels good to be free!
.
The bicycle is my preferred vehicle and I hope to go as long as i can without buying a car! Laid back guy, easy going, but will speak my mind.

I enjoy getting lost with a paper map in a city of any size or location.
