My description:
I just relocated from DC to finish my undergrad in biology (environmental toxicology if the opportunity avails, which may mean a transfer to NC or CA). Excited to live near the mountains, breathe fresh air, run along the Rivanna, ride my bike everywhere, live a block from the farmer's market and have an enormous back yard fit for a king, a garden, and my dog. I'm excited to be in this quaint yet progressive town.
Above all, I am happy! I love to travel, explore and embark on new adventures, love to be outside taking in nature and enjoy biking, running, hiking, swimming in natural bodies of water, adventure races, kiteboarding and would love to get into climbing, kayaking and stand up paddleboarding. Staying in with my beau, making food and taking in a film is also quite nice. Being open-minded, understanding, giving, forgiving, and communicating clearly are qualities I value in myself and appreciate in others as well. I'm a blend of unconventional and old-fashioned and tend to keep things spicy not sleepy.

Seeking:
I am honest, love to laugh and have fun (without alcohol), explore, reinvent myself, admit when I'm wrong (grow to be better), am empathetic, and enjoy every moment for what it is... would love a partner to share these same ideals.
