i'm motivated, fit, cuddly, and a little bit cheeky. I'm down to earth & i usually tell it like it is. i love my life, my profession, my family and friends, what I have and who I am. I am happiest when surrounded by friends, family, great food and wine, nature, music, with someone special and creative positive types. I'm not scared to step out of my comfort zone or push myself to try different things and am never bored. When not teaching I design and create costumes for theatre productions and also do hair and makeup for theatre as well. Busy yes but would love to find time to learn to play golf and guitar, take atleast one year off and live somewhere tropical, see the northern lights, start my own business and see my design ideas in production (something i'm working on right now) have my poetry published or atleast turn one into a song :) snowboard Japan and Canada, and would love to DIY renovate one day. I also wish i had more time to volunteer to a cause - homeless, disadvantaged youth ... not sure but looking at the moment to get involved in something higher. I enjoy the beach, snow, the outdoors and everything associated. I love sand in my toes and sun or snow on my cheeks. i snowboard and go to the gym a couple of times a week to do pump and pilates, sometimes yoga and the occasional spin class - but am not a gym junky :) My job allows ample holiday time (14 weeks a yr) and I make the most of it by travelling abroad or within OZ whenever I can. I have traveled through Asia and Europe, have done many snow seasons in NZ and spend as much time i can down the snow in winter and on the beach in summer. My latest holiday was Bali and am heading back there in January to hopefully start up a small busines. There are so many countries i still want to visit and i would love to find someone who shares my adventurous spirit. I live in Sydney but love the north coast equally. My family has always surfed and camped and i love getting back to my roots amongst nature but must admit as i mature a little more luxury is nice. My family is on the coast in Yamba and in WA and i love spending time with them whenever possible. I love to read and I write poetry and lyrics when inspired, i design and create clothes, paint and design products. I love to create - anything! I also love cooking and have a green thumb so gardening is something i miss living in the city - i long to have my own vege garden and get my garden fix when visiting my mum who's vege garden i planted last year. I definately appreciate the finer things in life but respect what comes for free. Iâ??m comfortable in thongs or stilettos, am happy camping or doing 5 star. i love living it up but am equally happy laying low. I am social but love spending time alone and at times my freedom. I try to treat others as I wish to be treated and am told I am a carer. I truly love to love and enjoy spoiling who is dear to me. I'm in my element cooking for people over a bottle of wine and some nice tunes. I love doing dinners and enjoy a good night out with friends. I love searching for new and excotic ingredients in China town, love finding cool little cafes or cheap eats in and around Sydney and can never pass up a trip to a growers market for fresh produce. Weekends away, music festivals, shopping for vintage books and homewears, seafood, great wine, coffee, and a beer in the sun also make me smile. Iâ??m very affectionate, loyal, creative, love having a laugh and a good debate, i'm caring and sensitive but no push over :) very romantic, a whiz in the kitchen as mentioned... i'm definately one of a kind!!!... I would love to find someone I am smitten with and I would rather be in love in a tent than out of love in a mansion. I want to look at my man and feel honoured to be on his arm and want to be in a relationship where mutual respect and true love is important. Hopefully you are out there :)
