In Her Own Words
About her
I grew up in a small market town and have recently moved to an Oxfordshire village (well, it calls itself a town…) but in between I have lived and worked in a variety of countries and now indulge both my love of home and the countryside with a passion for people and world cultures by working in an International Language Centre in Oxford. I guess this kind of duality exists in a lot of aspects of my life: I’m very thoughtful and love deep, inquisitive conversation but also delight in silliness and humour. I can be quite quiet at times and very chatty at others. I can come across as very confident in some situations and not so in others. I love to read and always have done and I love to explore – local or exotic, if I haven’t been there before then I want to go. Likewise, I love to have new experiences (though I’m not an adrenaline junkie at all) and I love to learn new things. So long as I’m learning, exploring and feeling like I’m developing then I’m happy.
About her ideal match
Most people describe me as independent and so I am looking for someone to spend time with who enjoys exploring, learning and being made to think, like I do, but who also has their own interests and independence or, at least, who is comfortable with mine. The people that I love and respect most in my life are gentle and thoughtful, self-reflective and have a strong moral compass. They are interested in the world around them, form their own opinions and follow their own paths. But they are also rather diverse people and so I don’t really have an ideal person in mind (is there such a thing?) - I think that, if those fundamentals are in place, then it doesn't matter where someone comes from, what they do or what they're interested in.
