I'm a grown-up who likes to put on costumes and dance; a silly kid who likes to cook & talk politics; a lazy bum who likes to kayak & bike; a cynic who does yoga and goes to Quaker meeting; an intellectual who likes action movies; a native Californian who loves Vancouver.

I'm looking for kindred souls in my new hometown of Vancouver.
