I am helpful, kind, curious, adventurous, and cheerful.

I love exploring, in every sense of the word. I want to see new places, meet new people, and try new things.

Interests

I love to be outdoors, whether I'm backpacking, rock climbing, scuba diving, stargazing, or skiing. I run and play ultimate frisbee to stay active. I also like reading, cooking, and baking.

Music, Movies, and Books

Music: I like most electronic music, hip-hop, classic rock, bossa nova/classical guitar

Movies -- top five: 12 Angry Men, City of God, Seven Samurai, Leon: The Professional, Chinatown. But I really like watching and discussing all sorts of film.

Books -- Ghost in the Wire, Gödel, Escher, and Bach, Hitchhiker's Guide Series, The Big Sleep, anything by Terry Pratchett or Orson Scott Card.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Climbed a 14000' mountain, and as I stood on the summit I watched a thunder-storm light up the dawn as the sun was rising.
