Hello, My Name IS KARIN

About Me

I speak Spanish really well for a gringa/ yanqui/ norteamericana. I hum a lot, subconsciously, and some people find that endearing. I get strange songs stuck in my head for years... things like TV theme songs and Christmas carols and the national anthem.I eat out a lot and I like to try new and exotic things. I like fresh air and seasons and I worship sunshine. I consider myself a feminist, but about some things I am old-fashioned. My car radio is always tuned to NPR. I tell a great story and I'm a good listener. I can speak in front of a crowd with no problem, but I can be shy sometimes too. I am honest to a fault and people always know where they stand with me...

Right now, the Cape, soaking up sunshine, etc. As a rule, traveling, speaking Spanish, scenic walks, movies, eating out (at secret, ethnic, hole-in-the-wall restaurants), spending quality time with friends and family, discussing politics and social issues...

I'd like to meet:

Once I tried to move to move to Florida to be closer to my family. I found the women there to be really into diets and plastic surgery, and botox. The men were really into cheap beer and football and plastic women. They said things like "I don't read" and "I'm not interested in politics." These are not the people I want to meet!!!(I also don't want to meet creepy strangers who are looking for casual sex. Or those weird people with fake model photos.)
