Tie on a different fly and whizzzzzzz, aim for that dark, quiet pool over there.

I was raised in the Kootenays, am an avid skiier, and would love to do more mountain biking... Since moving to the Island I've fallen in love with surfing, kayaking, and exploring the myriad smaller islands around this one. Undergrad in Biology, keen interest in environmental stewardship and global issues. I have goals to travel and play all over the world, but my hobbies right now include building things with Lego and covering pine cones with peanut butter and birdseed.

I love:
Music – Jack Johnson, Ben Harper, Feist, Sarah Harmer, Morcheeba, A Fine Frenzy, Teitur, Bon Iver, Iron and Wine, The White Stripes, CBC Radio 2…too many to list.
Books – Anne Michaels, Wade Davis, Thomas King, Kevin Patterson, Barbara Kingsolver…again, too many to list.

I love getting high on adrenaline and endorphins, then coming down with good food and wine.
I love morning lovin’, dawn patrols for surf, swimming in cold water on a hot day, sleeping outside, exploring new places.
I love cooking complicated meals for friends, especially with food I grew!
I love good coffee, good chocolate, good wine, and cold Lucky Lager.
I’m equally comfortable sleeping in a tent for days, or in a fancy hotel suite (well, who wouldn’t be?)
I believe in trusting your instincts, and being open-minded.

I'm looking for someone independant, grounded yet playful, who likes kids (not neccessarily mine, but maybe someday) and has patience with my busy schedule. You don't have to like the same things as me, different can be good.

Sometimes this internet dating can move a bit fast for me, so don’t be offended if I don’t write back right away. The suspense, flirtation, and anticipation are all part of the fun, and I’m not in any hurry.

My dream first date would be to head out for a surf, but if that's not possible, a hike or something active would be fun. Something with no pressure that we both enjoy.
