I have to pick a favorite? I'm an outdoorsy, bookish, adventurous vegan with a great sense of humor.

I love to cook and eat, and I have a passion for real food. I make a fierce pad thai and some amazing tempeh-bacon to go with my tofu scramble. I don't define myself by my veganism, but it's a significant part of my life.

Traveling is a big part of my life. Some memorable adventures: celebrating the turn of the millennium in a 12th century castle in Wales, getting stalked by a crack dealer in Nicaragua, kayaking in New Zealand, bike-riding through white-night St. Petersburg, camping in the Canadian Rockies, staying in a Buddhist temple complex in Kyoto, and dodging multi-species traffic in Jaipur.

My ideal partner is a great guy who cares about the world. You offer your seat on the metro to anyone who needs it more. You take things seriously as needed, but you have a sense of humor and a healthy capacity for goofiness. You're intellectually curious and well-informed. Ideally, you're interested in traveling, both locally and internationally. You're good at communicating what you want in and out of a relationship, and at listening to your partner's needs.
