I am from Virginia (USA) I swam in college, graduated and then moved out to California to do Conservation work and trail work on the Pacific crest trail.
I am now here in China doing research on Kentish Plovers and am loving it!
I would probably consider myself as a modern hippie. I love having a laid back lifestyle and being flexible and open minded to pretty much everything
I LOVE going on adventures and taking the roads less traveled.
I am very open minded and am willing to try almost anything once.
Laughing with those around me (most of the time at my own expense) is probably one of my favorite things. But I also love swimming, hiking, partying, cooking (because I love eating),and just hanging out.
