I am here for Friends and Networking

About Me

On the go, active, genuinely interested, thoroughly enjoy squeezing the beauty out of each day. Yoga phenom, hiker hiker hiker, in bed with adventure, femme feminist pro-choice queer rights and all that jazz activist who loves getting all dressy for cocktail events, master of eye contact avoidance with creeps on the trolley and lover of all things social-dancing, wine, music, education, conversation? Where do I sign up?
