Well.... I am a single dad who just moved to Cookeville to go back to school for a Masters degree in Chemistry. I have 2 girls(10 and 8) that live with me full time and are my world. However, would love to expand that world and find a fellow explorer to join me in my travels. As I said in my interest I love to try new things! I really beleive that the more experiences we have, good and bad, enrich our lives exponetially. As for experiences I've had my share! I have traveled to Japan, spent almost a month in Europe (where I saw 10 Countries in 9 days!) exhausting but fun!, been to Mexico, Taken a motorcycle trip to Alaska (almost!), another motorcycle trip to the west coast. When traveling I try to stay as far away from the tourist locations as possible (I don't think Cancun is actually part of Mexico). If in a foriegn country and can talk with everyone I am at the wrong place! Though I'm not religous I have gone to different services to learn and appreciate their beliefs. I'm the worst singer in the world, but doesn't stop me from singing to my girls on a daily basis, and an even worse artist but love the arts!

First dates can and should be fun. Though there is always the dinner and a movie thing I think it is better to try to be a little creative. Maybe ice skating, a play, picnic, or even a blanket, good wine, and a night of star gazing.
