I desire to travel the world. I recently spent 2.5 months in Europe and loved every minute of it... traveling alone by train listening to my mp3 player, meeting people from all of over the world, trying new food, crepe stands, visiting with family, touring castles and listening to Brown Eyed girl in an Irish pub.

I am an extremely honest, caring, and hardworking photojournalist. I'm a great listener and I enjoy helping people. I love animals, children, the outdoors and being out on the water. I'll pretty much try anything once. I love traveling, skiing, snowboarding, canoeing, kayaking, going out on our waverunner, camping, photography, working out, learning to cook, and gazing at the stars. As far as music goes, I'll listen to almost anything but I don't care for rap or country. A few of my favorites are The Killers, Snow Patrol, The Fray, KT Tunstall, Coldplay, Dave Matthews, U2, OneRepublic and Hootie & the Blowfish and The Riptide Movement (a band I heard playing on the streets in Dublin).

I aspire to one day work for National Geographic, thus combining my my passion of traveling with photography.

I'm pretty shy until I get to know someone. However, once I get to know you, I tend not to shut up. ;)

I need someone that is willing to be honest with me because I'll be completely honest with you. I'm proud of my accomplishments, but what is success without someone to share it with?

While, I enjoy going out, I don't need to drink to have a good time. Even though I'm not the greatest, I love dancing, especially at 80's night.

Word of advice, if you're messaging someone, you're more likely to get a response if you send more that a thoughtless one lined "Hey what's up"... ;) As you may have guessed, I'm not afraid to speak my mind.

I joined this site because I don't like meeting guys in bars and I'm not into one night stands. I'm a bit skeptical about online dating, but I wanted to see who was out there and even if I don't find my dream guy, I like to meet new people and could always use a few new friends.

It really depends, I like to be adventurous but I wouldn't an activity to get in the way of playing the getting to know you game. I'd like to be able to comfortably carry on a conversation while still having fun. Lots of possibilities! ;)
