I'm from the mid-west but grew up in a military family so I traveled a lot.
When I'm not working or studying I like to read, explore, hike, go camping, go out to the bars, hang out with some of the awesome people I've met in this town. I'm currently working on a Master's in geographic information systems (satellites and maps basically) and working as an Archaeologist for the Forest Service. The best conversation to me is when I can make people laugh and think at the same time or they can do the same for me.

An ideal first date might involve getting some coffee or tea then taking a walk and seeing how it went from there. If all went well maybe some diner and drinks after that.
