I'm an outdoor girl, first and foremost. I love kayaking Lake Lure, travelling the rain forests of West Africa and starting my own vineyard. I make my own wine and am working toward making my home self-sustaining. I'm easy to be with and not into material things. My friends say I'm funny, especially when I drink too much wine and sing karaoke. I like all kinds of music, especially songs that make me think. I play guitar and write my own songs, though I'm still learning new chords.

Conversation is most important on a first date, so a low-key dinner at a local, organic restaurant where I get to pick the bottle of wine is a great first date.
