Date people from Aptos, United States. I love living in Santa Cruz, have a casual, low-key lifestyle, love hiking & the beach, but also enjoy traveling, food / wine, & mid-century modern design and architecture. I work in medical market research and love what I do. I travel about 1 week out of the month. I grew up in New York City & Los Angeles so am happy to have a quiet healthy place to come home to - but I do miss some of the city things - good food, new music, design, art, and intellectual stimulation. Santa Cruz is amazing but sometimes I feel like people don't know what I'm talking about here, but maybe I talk too fast. I'm pretty outgoing and friendly but also like my alone quiet time. I try to be compassionate, open to possibilities, focus on the positive, and stay grateful for what I have every day. With all that said I also tend to get along just fine with people who don't share my interests in new music and culture, and may just want to watch sports and sit on the couch, for example. I can handle that. I really like hanging out on the couch with someone I like. But I may not be watching sports with you all the time.
I'd like to meet someone funny and smart who has a cynical edge to them, who takes care of themselves, and likes a balance of going out & staying in. Communication & honesty is important to me, as is financial stability and trust. I'm seeking someone who is polite, communicative, understanding, trustworthy, empathetic and funny! Articulate & cute would be nice as well.
