Looking for a “girl-next-door” with her head screwed on straight? Welcome!

So what should you know about me? I lead an uncomplicated life that I enjoy and tend to be the person friends come to when they need someone to bounce ideas off of. I’ve been blessed with lots of luck, awesome friends and a wacky but lovable family. I’m a little shy around new people, but warm up to people once I find common ground. I’m honestly content with the way my life is unrolling and would love to meet a guy who is also happy with the road he’s on.

I’ve always been curious about the world and have had lots of opportunity over the years to indulge that curiosity with great life experiences. I’ve travelled to over 17 different countries and lived in 3 different countries in the past ten years. Travelling has taught me to expect the unexpected.

I am also a trained artist and try to use this skill as much as possible. Doing anything with my hands, whether that is painting, drawing, sculpting, designing, refinishing or renovating, is cathartic. Last summer, I got the chance to refinish two antique tables, which was an experience that turned out to be very messy and satisfying. If you’re also an imaginative, hands-on person who is intrigued by do-it-yourself projects than we’ll get along really well.

So who do I hope to meet?

My ideal match is sensible, independent and has his own passions, hobbies and joys to share. Let’s face it - we are all geeks about something, so own it. It makes you more endearing.

You know what you want out of life (or are at least reasonably sure) and you have a plan to get there.

Life makes you chuckle to yourself most of the time.

Maybe it’s old fashioned but I adore a man with excellent manners. Don’t worry. Chivalry is a two way street; I’ll hold the door open for you, too.

Happy fishing, gentlemen.

Meet and greet. Have a coffee or a tea. See if we get along and let the conversation flow.
