Date women from United States / California / South Oceanside, 34 year old

Date someone special from South Oceanside, United States. I love it when people surprise me. It happens all of the time. I've been fortunate enough, (recently) to have spent a good chunk of time traveling alone and having to rely on complete strangers for help and advice. I learned so much from those experiences. What does travel mean to you? Do you have stories to share? I'd love to hear them :) Now I'm home and utilizing all of the things I learned abroad to further develop my strengths and become better at laughing at myself, (while attempting) to work on my weaknesses.
I love people with big hearts and big dreams, who are goofy and like to laugh. I try to strive to maintain a positive, (not too serious) outlook on myself and those around me. I love a good challenge and a hearty, engaging discussion about something new, or in an area I have knowledge of already. Someone who is silently observant and picks up on details others miss- is really sexy. Getting out of the house just to appreciate the sunshine, staying up late with a glass of wine or coffee sharing thoughts about something special when the mood strikes.
Having close ties to your family without letting them make decisions for you....loving to travel, even if it's just going somewhere local you haven't seen yet. I aspire to do and become a lot of things. I'm excited to find someone to learn from and most importantly have fun with!
