I'm eccentric, imaginative and have a quiet sense of humour that comes out at surprising times. I'm a passionate person, I rarely do things halfway, and I love to let the simple things in life fascinate me.

If I'm out, it's usually either somewhere quiet or a spot with lots of room to dance. I love live jazz, but I don't get to take it in often enough. I'll stop over at a pub for a drink once in a while, but I'm not big on that kind of atmosphere: I really like to sit and chat somewhere less frenetic.

Anyone who can teach me things I don't know is sexy, whether it's "academic" knowledge or cultural things. If you have something to say about food, music, clothes, spirituality, the environment, architecture, history, whatever... I'll be captivated if you know what you're talking about. I love to discover new things!

This year my projects are to get in better shape, and to start my career... I've just finished university and am poking around for a worthwhile job. I'd love to work with microcredit or do consulting for small businesses.

Who I'm looking for: You should have a pretty good idea of who you are and what you want from life, and be a good communicator. I'm a very open and expressive person, I'd like to find the same in someone else. Having a sense of balance between taking care of your body and developing your mind would be nice: I'd like someone who keeps at least a little fit, and either reads a lot or keeps up with news/documentaries/whatever. Personality is key... I'm attracted to people with strong characters, and a playful nature. I sometimes take myself too seriously so I encourage teasing from time to time ;)

First dates vary with the person, sometimes a long walk is best, other times I'd rather go for a coffee (I know all the best places, Starbuck's doesn't qualify). Of course, if you want to learn swing dancing, I'm totally up for that too!
