Ok, about me... I grew up in Indiana and after high school I received a scholarship to the University of Oklahoma. I lived out there for a while but later decided to finish my degree at Purdue so I headed back to Indiana. I was happy to be close to my family and my old friends as both are very important to me. I love the thrill of being in an unfamiliar place so for the past few years I've moved around alot. My goal has been to explore different parts of the country, meet new people and do things I wouldn't normally have a chance to do. I have fallen in love with Montreal, San Francisco, Charleston SC, and Boston. I did volunteer work with Americorps for a year and I loved it! I did things like working with the elderly, building and deconstructing homes for Habitat and the UMRC, bird counts for Yale Univ. in a Florida swamp (got to swim with gators!), disaster relief with Red Cross, trail building and mentoring terminally ill children. I learned alot in a very short time from so many people it was a truly life changing experience. I continue to volunteer when I can and believe me I have some pretty funny stories from it all! Down the road I want to join the Peace Corps and do environmental work in another country. I like to stay busy although I go in spurts between super busy and nothing to do. I love being outside but I also am pretty girly so going out is always great too. My friends would say I am very loyal and a great listener.

I'm not overly picky with pre- req's of qualities in the guys I date. I'm attracted to many different types. If theres any type of attraction I'm not afraid to act on it although I can also be pretty shy if I really like someone. Enough about me...
