Hello, thanks for "checking" me out. I am an independent and open woman looking for a good match, whatever that may be. I love traveling, meeting new people, cooking, reading, gardening, all of the typical stuff.

I grew up on a small farm but discovered that I really love the city and all it has to offer...the parks, the coffee shops, the independent restaurants / bars, the diversity, the many farmer's markets.

I have a great job that has given me the opportunity to travel throughout the US and world and to meet many fantastic people. I have a spirit for adventure and love going to new places and meeting new people with completely different backgrounds. I thrive off of that stuff. Here in Minneapolis I have a small, solid group of friends from all walks of life.

For a first date I typically like to meet for coffee / drinks and see where it leads. Once I get to know someone, I love to cook together, check out independent restaurants / bars, local bands...really anything but loud clubs.
