A lover For the curious & discerning

You know that feeling, when you’re completely immersed in a moment and the illusion of time slips from your perception?

I’m Clea, your new favorite way to make time stop. I left a career in biomedical research to pursue my true passion of having fun & laughing. I’m a part time New Yorker with insatiable wanderlust & a never ending list of things to do & places to dine/kiss. I find myself attracted to the more subtle luxuries—time, attention, local food with a view. In my free time I’m likely perfecting my latest recipe, writing music & prose, reading in the bath, developing & scanning film or walking for miles in a new city with no clear destination. My perfect date is slow, savored, and well planned with room for the unexpected. These days I’m mostly enjoying extended trips with my lovers and am rarely available for short notice dates under 6 hours. Don’t be shy to reach out from anywhere in the world—I have many stamps in my passport and always looking to add to my collection!
