I'm a witty plant biologist who loves a laugh and am not easily offended. I'm non-religious, left-leaning, and enjoy discussing global politics and current events. I enjoy reading, art, music, nature, travel, exercise, and spending time with friends and my kids. I don't enjoy small talk, I prefer to jump into deep conversation. I'm interested to learn about other cultures, what your world and daily life are like, share a laugh, and hear your thoughts on "life, the universe, and everything." Open to practicing Spanish or very minimal French, although not here explicitly here for that.
