I enjoy doing lots of different things; go out, stay in, movies, music, bike riding, exercising, sports(watching & participating), etc. Whitewater rafting and hiking up mountainsides have been among the most fulfilling adventures I've done with friends. Oh, and I love to travel. Whether it's the other side of the country(originally from Calif.), the other side of the Atlantic(dream trip in 1999), to places in and around Florida, new places make for an exciting view into all life has to offer. I'd like to meet someone who has a zest for life, someone who'll challenge me mentally (as well as physically) and I challenge them in return. Staring out at the horizon as the sun sets in Yosemite took my breath away; I'm hoping I'll find someone who'll do that for me, and I for her.

(Bonus points if you can name the song & the next verse from my headline)

First dates always include something interactive. Whether it's dinner and drinks, or just coffee at the local shop, the movies should never be included in the mix. I want to get to know the person I'm going out with and I would assume they want to know about me, so any setting where we can interact is a good start.
