I am a Maine native, interested and very experienced in all things outdoors. I went to Colorado College, was a bio major, then decided I wanted to go to nursing school for midwifery and women's health. I am currently in the Accelerated 2nd Degree Nursing program at Georgetown, studying far too much, and selling my soul to academics. 6 months down, 10 to go. I can't live without the wilderness, so living in the city has been a welcomed challenge. I'm a runner and cyclist, was active in the Maine sprint triathlon and road race circuit before I moved to DC, and am ALWAYS up for an adventure. I've traveled all over the world, usually solo, with my backpack and Lonely Planet books. I don't watch TV because I can't sit still long enough. I have one though, with about 6 channels. I AM A MORNING PERSON. I wear Carhartts. I don't eat meat unless refusing it will morally offend someone... this is not because I'm an animal rights activist (I am not), but rather because I just believe that plant proteins are healthier for you. However, I can probably out-shoot you with a shot gun, and I can float a fly on the river better than most young women I fish with. I used to be a canoe and backpacking guide in the Boundary Waters, MN and out West, respectively. I started an HIV/AIDS education program in Tanzania with my 2 best friends from college. I LOVE TO COOK! I cook every night, and usually never the same thing twice. I like ethnic foods :) My first degree was bio, and I spent 6 months in the Caribbean on Bonaire studying coral reef ecology and conservation. I was headed to grad school for marine bio until I was called to nurse midwifery. I LOVE BABIES. I don't like cocky guys. I don't have time for you, and you only make other people feel worse about themselves. This is getting really long. I'm going to stop now.
We might get along if...
You are educated (at least a college grad from an accredited institution), you don't smoke cigarettes (I won't even date a "social smoker"), you don't watch a lot of TV, you aren't obsessed with video games, you are outdoorsy, you have a lot of energy, you like to get out of the city, you are not a drunk, you own a tent/good sleeping bag/sturdy boots/whisperlite or dragonfly/smartwool socks/a headlamp, you like to cook good healthy food, you can ride a bike, you are also busy, you are intelligent and independent, you can swim, you have friends that would say you're a gem, you can make me laugh, you are mature, you respect your parents, and you know that girls poop too.
Physically: You're tall (5'11 +), between the ages of 25-29 (29 is pushing it), attractive/ruggedly handsome, athletic, have nice CLEAN teeth, are in good shape shape, can run at least 3 miles, and are not excessively hairy or prematurely balding (sorry).
Please do NOT message me if you smoke (ever!), you don't take dental hygiene seriously, you are younger that 25 or older than 29, or you are shorter than 5'11. If you do fit into one of these categories and choose to send me a massage anyways, please don't be offended if I don't message back.
Take care and be well!
