Date women from United States / Alaska / Homer, 25 year old

Date single girl from United States. Finding (and getting) new perspectives* is enthralling to me. For example, I've lived in six different places in Colorado in the last four years. As a freelance photojournalist, I am always on the move and looking for opportunities to meet new people, see new places, and experience new things. I feel fortunate to have been raised in Iowa where I developed my work ethics and shaped important family values...
...then the mighty yawp of the mountains was heard over the rustling corn stocks.
The spontaneity and travel that comes with my career fuels my fire, but it also has resulted in a solo lifestyle as far as relationships go. I am not looking for a full-blown, 'settle down and pop 'em out' relationship, but it would be nice to find someone who is also hard working, intelligent, and kind; someone that would be fun to share experiences with tending to our passions. Life is short. Sense of humor is a must. Open mindedness is a must. Respect, trust, and honesty are musts. We could even be complete opposites in most respects, but if you don't treat yo momma nice, don't come knock knock on my door (bonus points if you laugh at my cheesy jokes).
You might also be delighted by the fact that I know the key to happiness :)
Attitude is everything (how original!! But seriously...I'm serious.) Sometimes it's tough to see the good or to have faith in the good yet to come when darkness strikes, but the bright side is always there. Whether or not you look for the bright side is up to you, but I believe this: "What you feel, what you think, and what manifests is always a match." Besides, the dark side "smells like, like a used diaper filled with Indian food!", while the bright side smells of "rich mahogany!"
So, the key to happiness (besides Will Ferrell): Always where a headlamp - and turn it on if it gets too dark! Yup.
Your turn. What's your story?

*Fun Fact: I'm 85% sure I'm moving to Alaska at the end of May-September to write a couple stories and take thousands of pictures. I can see how this could be a deal breaker. Hang tight. The way I see it, it's a great opportunity to start out as friends. Summers always seem to fly by out here, too. Alaska might have my lust, but Colorado will always have my heart. This place is crawling with secret havens. It's really just absurd.
