Ammonymous, 46

and eclectic.

A direct communicator and very *nalytical, I enjoy chatting about all kinds of issues, especially with people who are of a different mind.

Nothing is more important to me than family, but I think it's going to take a special kind of woman to be with me! My life's mission is to live and work in Africa, specifically with educational systems and underprivileged populations.

I'm currently finishing two master's degrees (M.Ed. and M.S.) and have recently starting a nonprofit that promotes health and productivity in West Africa. Both in and out of the church my life is a mission.

I'm fit and active, and I enjoy being with people who are as well. I particularly love backpacking into remote areas ... just getting away from civilization for a while.

Reading, mostly non-fiction, is a joy for me, although I can't handle sitting for too long. I love historical travel logs and occasionally delve into 19th century French novels, especially Honore de Balzac. (I speak French, Arabic, and a rather un-passable Spanish.)
