I am here for Dating, Serious Relationships, Friends and Networking

About Me

I am a 27 year old teacher looking to meet cool new people and connect with old friends. I'm spending my hard-earned summer vacation working with little kids at a daycare--playing soccer, taking them to the pool, and helping them with math and writing. I was raised on a farm in the middle of nowhere (Newton County) by a couple of wonderful and semi-hippie parents. I love to travel and go somewhere fun every year for spring break. Recent years have taken me to Costa Rica, Hawaii, Florida, and Northern California. Besides traveling, I like to run, hike, explore caves, raft, boogie board, cook, read, garden, and draw, etc.
