A woman of many radical dichotomies...

I've lived in several countries, have visited many more. I've been to almost every state, though this is my first time living in the Midwest. Chicago has long been a favorite big city in the US, probably because of its Midwesterness.

Have I been an escort before? Yes, I see no reason to pretend to be an ingenue when obviously I'm not, I've already thrown an old picture on here (in a non-prominent place). There's no horrible or devious backstory. A change is sometimes needed at the end of one journey and the beginning of another. As one's mindset and perspective broadens and deepens, it sometimes makes sense to put away girlish things and embrace a new, more genuine, direction.

If I sound like a woman in her 40s, well, that's because I am! I've always been an old soul; life has merely added to my depth and experiences. I'm grossly over-qualified for an hour in bed, which is why I prefer more than that.

...I am tech-y enough to design my own website but prefer to live in meat-space as much as possible. (She said meat, heh heh.) I prefer real life and the ephemeral instead of relentless technology and electronic trails. What I offer online, I offer for our mutual convenience and safety, nothing more.

As mentioned, I grew up in a very small town. I go to college. I graduate, not ready to chain myself to the professional ladder in my field. And I've done everything but use my degree. That's changing.

While it's changing, I'm here. Most of those changes will occur independent of companionship, though of course companionship provides the material means. Ideally, it also provides a little extra joy; as I hope I do for you.

Not here forever, though.
