About Me

I began studying at Simon Fraser University in Vancouver and started working as a fitness model. Eventually I received my degree in Computer programming and continued working as a model. I also did some work for Canadian television and the WWE and got my degrees in personal training. Modeling was a great job, but I became unhappy with it eventually. You can never settle down because you're always en route, and while this may be great and exciting when you're 20, to me as a woman approaching her 30ies it became unsatisfying. Plus you have to work out extremely hard for fitness competitions all the time, and your body is constantly judged and criticized. That's why I decided to retire from the fitness modeling industry in 2005. I was fortunate, because at the time I was thinking about retiring I got an offer from a friend who owns a top-notch gym in Los Angeles. He offered me a job as a personal fitness trainer at his gym, and I accepted after I finally made up my mind about retiring. So I left my beautiful homeland Canada and moved to the States. It was a change, and a bit chaotic at first (especially the weather...hehe), but I quickly managed to adopt to this new life here in Los Angeles. I started working at the gym, but I also began to build a client base of my own (upscale) clients, for whom I work as a personal fitness trainer. It's a very fulfilling and satisfying job - to help people getting back in shape, doing something good for themselves and improving their lives. So far this has been a good choice and I don't regret it. I think I just needed a change from my "safe" life in Vancouver. L.A. presents many opportunities that I want to try out. I don't know what the future has in store for me, but I'm sure gonna enjoy my time!I'm not sure if this is the right place, but I've been asked numerous times now - "How do you stay in shape?" Well, as you can imagine, it's a lot of hard work. I've started working out at the age of 14, when my boyfriend at the time dragged me to the gym. I quickly became addicted to it, and while my love for this boy didn't last, my love for fitness and sports did. I usually work out four times a week. If possible (L.A. is a huge city), I jog or bike to my workplace, be it the gym or to clients, that's a lot of miles every week and pretty much everything I need as an endurance training. Aside from normal fitness training, I'm also into a variety of other sports. This includes: Yoga, swimming, surfing, kickboxing, snowboarding, wakeboarding, dancing, inline skating and hiking...I hope I didn't leave something out. :)I'm doing a little navel-gazing now: Me as a person, I'm definitely not the "easiest" woman to be around with. This does not mean that I'm "high maintenance" - I'm not the kind of woman who spends hours in front of the mirror and cries about a broken nail extension. But I'm full of spirits, very energetic and have a strong temper. I don't consider myself arrogant (just like anyone else, I'm not perfect and don't want to be!), but I'm very self confident and self-conscious of both my abilities/strengths and my weaknesses. I think I'm pretty much the opposite of the submissive little barbie doll that seems to be very common on myspace. If you think that some bikini pictures make me a barbie doll or allow you to treat me as a sex object, think again. I'm proud of my body, and I'm working hard for it, but this does not make me any less a person than you. I've worked very hard for my body and my education, and there's no reason to hide that. I'm no hater or scandalmongerer either - I just think it's useless and a waste of time to talk bad about others, especially behind their backs. My mom always used to say "If you have nothing nice to say, say nothing at all." I prefer to focus on positive things like improving the lives of the people that I love, instead of negative things such as trash-talking and putting others down. This may be a surprise for you, but I'm also a romantic, especially when it comes to love and relationships (TLC is just so important!). And while I may not be the easiest woman to handle, I still think that I have a lot to offer when it comes to having fun, humor and excitement, and this counts both for relationships and for friendships. :)

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

Please note: I wrote this paragraph when I was single, but as you've probably realized - I'm in a relationship now! So please keep that in mind while you read the text below. Initially this was more like a description of my "dream guy", but if you exclude all the superficial stuff, the character description applies just as well to friends, and generally the kind of people that I like and click with.Superficial things first, so that we are done with them: I prefer tall (6'3 or taller), well-built men who are in shape. I'm not into metrosexuals or babyfaces, I like a man with chiseled looks, a face that I like to look at when I wake up in the morning. I hope this does not sound awkward, but a few scars are also quite sexy - because they show (I'm romanticizing now!) that he's lived a life full of dangers and adventures. :) You want some examples? Well, let's say...men who look like the young Clint Eastwood (he has a very deep, dark and sexy voice too!), Bruce Willis, Josh Holloway (Sawyer from Lost), Eric Bana or as an epitome of my dream guy when it comes solely to physical things: Dwayne Johnson (aka The Rock). He has something dark and mysterious about him (which I like in a man), yet also a certain vulnerabilty and a cute smile - killer combo! :)But style is nothing without substance. A beautiful character has the advantage that its beauty does not fade with age like physical beauty always does (you only get so far with your looks!). There are a few things that are important to me. Treating others with respect, dignity (degrading others never grades you up as a person), courtesy of course. Those are the absolute basics in our interacting with others, yet many people can't even follow those few simple implicitnesses.I like people who are straightforward and speak up their mind. I'm not into playing games, and I don't like hypocrites or bootlickers either. This concerns men especially, because few men have the guts to confront a beautiful woman with things she does not want to hear, or who are able to say "No!" when she wants something. To me this is important, because such people keep you well grounded and prevent you from thinking that you're better than anyone else. Straightforward people are also more loyal and upright, and that's a necessity in both friendships and romantic relationships. After all, trustfulness must be earned!Intelligence is of major importance too, it makes someone all the more attractive and interesting. It's important to me to have people who are on the same level when it comes to intelligence and education - because I need someone to talk to about my feelings or things that affect and concern me. Plus, an intelligent, versatile and somewhat mysterious character is magnetic, much more than a beautiful body alone ever can be.Men that I find attractive also need to be romantics at heart. I don't want an iceberg or someone who always keeps cool and is insensitive. He needs to be in accord with his feelings, and should know who he is, what he has to give and what he wants in life. A charming handling of the other sex is also vital - of course this applies to women too! If someone is at ease and relaxed, yet you have the feeling that he's got everything "under control" that's very erotic. In the end I don't like apathetic persons, but people who love adventure and some action, who don't sit at home all the time but are outgoing and full of life.The crucial question is: Why am I here on myspace? To be honest, I don't know yet. I'm completely new to this thing and figured out it was a cool way to interact with people from all over the world. I'm not here for dating, though my description may look like a personal advertisment. :) What I said about my wishes when it comes to a romantic relationship also applies to people in general. Feel free to contact me if you are looking for an interesting conversation or want to share some thoughts. I'm up for this if I feel there is a connection, but I'm new here and just want to experiment a bit. :-)
