I consider myself to be a fairly open and friendly person. I love to explore the city, like to walk. Also to run, swim and play tennis. Avid reader and interested in foreign languages, world affairs, and lively conversation. Prefer honesty over evasion, quiet personal discussions over boisterous cheerfulness. I take the road less traveled, usually. Adaptable, but firm; committed, but relaxed. Definitely open to new things
