What are you looking for in a mate? Someone who can go anywhere in the world with me and laugh at even the smallest and simplest things that life has to offer. My ideal mate would not take themselves seriously but at the same time has ambition and passion in whatever they strive to do in life. I tend to be drawn to naturally femme women who have some sort of creative juices and are independent. Perhaps the most important thing is someone who shows kindness to humankind and is truly genuine about it on all levels.
Biggest turn-off: Rudeness; does not have a passport
Biggest turn-on: Speaks more than two languages; beautiful eyes (color doesn’t matter)
Hobbies: Travel, ballet, basketball, swimming, pottery, theater, tap dancing, cooking gourmet organic meals, second-hand shopping in New York City, running to Arabic music, hiking
Describe your ideal first date: To go to a traditional teahouse and chat to see if there is any chemistry because sometimes people’s characters come out while stewing over a pot of tea.
Favorite TV show: “Game of Thrones” and “MasterChef Junior”
Celebrity crush: Salma Hayek
One obscure fact about yourself: I still take bubble baths before I go to bed (not every day) and even though I own a rubber ducky, I don’t include it in the bath sessions.
