I have an adventurous spirit - I want to see the world, try out new restaurants, and dream big. I am a hardworking, compassionate person. I like making plans with friends, to try out new recipes, and to take care of those around me. I've worked hard to build a life that works for me, it might not be perfect, but I love it. I can have strong opinions, but most of the time, I tend to go with the flow. I am very much a "don't sweat the small stuff" type of person. I love to learn, so I am constantly reading, listening to podcasts, attending lectures/demonstrations, and talking to experts. I try to be a good listener. I believe any healthy relationship is one where you trust each other and give each other the benefit of the doubt. I am a practical person in my every day life, but at heart, I am a die hard romantic. I see marriage as being that soft place to fall, the relationship where you can be the most yourself. I'm looking for that person who "gets" me and loves everything I am, and is okay with everything I am not. I am far from perfect. I don't pretend to be, but I try to be a good person and to treat everyone around me with respect and dignity.
