Is it just me or does writing a profile feel a little like writing a resume? I find it extremely hard to summarize my interests and values, in a small, concise paragraph, but I'll give it my best!

I am an open-minded, adventurous woman who is very interested in trying and learning about other people's hobbies. My most memorable adventures are skydiving, cave-exploring, ATVing in Barbados and being a grinder on an America's Cup Yacht in St. Martin. The later ended with a concussion~a very interesting story! A few of my other interests are reading, travel, movies, music, playing the piano.

While I am an extrovert by nature I have a shy side, especially when talking to someone I like! ;-) I have goofy and sarcastic sense of humor. I can find the humor in just about any situation. The most important quality I'm looking for in a man is respect toward me and others. It's hard to explain, but someone either has it or they don't.

I exercise regularly to keep healthy but I love all things chocolate! Volunteerism is important to me and need someone who shares that need to give back. I love animals,except reptiles-yuck! My cats, Sydney and Emma, who I love and adore, are my world. I am hoping to find a best friend, lover and partner, with whom I can love even more!

I'd love to be whisked off to Paris for the weekend, but drinks/coffee and great conversation would be fun too :)
