Chicagoan Seeking Partner

I grew up in various countries throughout the world (specifically Bahrain, in the Gulf. an island near Dubai, and Europe). I arrived in the US about 9 years ago for education and first settled in New York, but, currently, I live in Chicago. I grew up in a moderate family and we all appreciated and assimilated into the different cultures around us. I am a social person and have a good philosophy on life - I know how to mix work and play and enjoy the things that many never do. I love to travel and surround myself with different cultures. I also believe that family is extremely important - it is through them we learn how to love and appreciate great qualities. I just returned from a long vacation where I visited South Africa, Beirut and parts of Europe
