A 25 year old graduate, young professional working for a non-profit organization serving individuals with disabilities. I am always seeking adventure and thrill. I love: all types of music (African music is my groove); admiring and pondering at art; biking the streets; getting intimate with books; caring for animals; illuminating my life with Yoga/Pilates; and simply being outdoors (hiking is my big thing). I am also vegetarian, but am open to all foodies and love nourishing the body with good food & beer/wine.

Music, Movies, and Books

I am open to all types of music, but really get my groove on with chillwave, electronica, trip hop, dream/indie pop type sounds. I grew up with alternative rock and love classic rock & roll oldies.

Donnie Darko is probably my favorite movie, but there are too many good movies to have one favorite. I love a movie packed with action, drama, and sci-fi/fantasy. Though, I would much rather watch a documentary than a movie when it comes to dedicating a few hours of my time - it's time well spent.

I enjoy cozying up with both fictional and non-fictional books. My favorite genre of books are Sci-fi, Mystery, Romance, Poetry, and Spirituality. Ayn Rand is one of my favorite authors - Anthem is my favorite book. The Art of Happiness by the Dali Lama is my overall favorite book.
