My day starts with filling the hummingbird feeders before my workout, evenings usually end with my nose in a book. Looking for connection.Ya out there?

You Belong in San Francisco
You crave an eclectic, urban environment. You're half California, half NYC.
You're open minded, tolerant, and secretly think you're the best.
People may dismiss you as a hippie, but you're also progressive, interesting, and rich! Where Does Your Inner Californian Belong?
