I am not looking to hook up - if that's what you're after, keep moving. I believe in fighting for the fairytale.
I'm a very passionate person - I pride myself on how well I've tamed that passion without losing any of it. I've been through a lot, but it has truly made me a strong, wise, and much better person. "I survived because the fire inside me burned brighter than the fire around me."
Usually, I'm an easy-going, super-chill girl. I don't take life for granted because it can change at a moment's notice. I like to laugh and learn new things. I value time with family and love being around my sweet dogs.
I graduated from the University of Florida with a bachelors in English Literature. I love to read. I teach at an elementary school - reading classes for kids with learning disabilities. It's challenging and rewarding in one. This job keeps me very busy. I also travel whenever my wallet will allow it. I've only been to eight countries, so there are many more on my list. I sometimes travel to other countries and places based on places Ive seen on No Reservations with Anthony Bourdain. :)
I'm looking for someone who is kind and generous. I like to be around a man I can laugh with, so humor is vitally important. I'm attracted to intelligence -- I want to be able to learn something new when I talk to him.
All in all, I just want to be around someone that I can have fun with and feel secure around. I'm always working toward a new goal, so if you're expecting someone perfect, you won't find it here. We are dealt different hands. I was not given the royal flush, but I'm still in the game. "Something will grow from all that you're going through....and it will be you!"
Are you ready for a great adventure?? Cause I'm gonna change your life.
