I'm passionate about my faith, specifically helping people that need it. I have done some mission work overseas, currently sponsor a child through Compassion International, and worked often in discipling kids in youth groups. I'm also passionate about travelling and cooking / dining, especially when Italy ( my ancestral home ) is involved. I've travelled to Italy for a total of about 3 months and love it. I'm also very interested in nature - I've done alot of hiking and back country camping. I love experiencing amazing moments outside, normally at night looking at the stars or the ocean. I'm into lots of different types of music, depending on my mood - though I have to say that songs that tell a story normally win me over. I love a good movie - unfortunately that isn't what it seems Hollywood is mostly churning out these days (are the writers still on strike?) so I normally settle on independent films or older ones. I'm a huge romantic at heart (can't help it, I'm Italian...) and love putting together amazing dates, activities and trips. I'm absolutely honest, and don't put up with dishonesty - especially in a relationship. I love deeply and am passionate about living life with purpose.

Well, since I'm the one planning the date (I'm kind of old fashioned in a chivalrous sort of way - expect to be treated like a lady), I can't reveal all my romantic ideas here... But I am a huge fan of really good food, so it will probably involve going to a cool area, having a nice walk, eating an amazing meal and doing something cool afterwards (gelato and coffee sound good...) that will let us talk - maybe some more time outdoors if it's nice, looking at a beautiful night sky or the city lights.

Sounds sort of cliche? Yep, but with the right girl, totally awesome.
