My name is Heather. Like you, I am a well-traveled, well-educated, and well-established professional who, every once in a while, needs a reprieve from the mundane. I am the woman sitting across from you on the train, or next to you on the plane; I am your colleague, your neighbor, your friend.

If you’re the type of suitor seeking the pinnacle of perfection—a goddess who speaks five languages, only wears Prada, attended finishing school, and can tell you when to use the little fork or the big fork in a 5 Michelin star restaurant—I have to stop you. I am not her.

However, what I am is genuine. Do you want to laugh all night? To feel young again? Do you want to meet someone who will sip the finest Syrah with you—and then dive into the greasiest wings in the city? Someone truly happy, who actively practices gratitude every day? And, who just so happens to be this side of blessed in her appearance? Well, then... I’m your match.

I sincerely care. I am a sponge. I want to know you and your history, your travels, your dreams, and the knowledge you gained along the way. And I want to share my life with you, too. No man is an island; the most human adventure is blending one’s life with another’s—even for brief moments. A solid connection--however ephemeral--can reverberate through and influence a lifetime.

Every now and again we need a reminder of all that is good in the world. And I do hope we can meet to prove that life is, indeed, still very much worth living. Until then, I remain your Girl Next Door. xo Heather
