Longing for love, she put her heart out to the universe, and the universe responded
Kanu Jacobsen was beginning to think it would never happen.
Whenever she was out in public, she would look at couples and wonder how they got together.
And if they could find love, why couldn't she?
She's got a lot to offer. She's smart, attractive, well-traveled and successful. She's an adrenaline junkie and has climbed mountains and run marathons.
"Friends would tell me I'm beautiful, yet I'm still single," she said. "What am I doing that I'm not finding love?"

Meet Kanu Jacobsen | Love Guru
We had the good fortune of connecting with Kanu Jacobsen and we’ve shared our conversation below.
Hi Kanu, we’d love to hear what makes you happy.
Personally what makes me happy are simple things: an early morning hike to watch the sunrise, a really yummy healthy meal, a conversation with a friend or family member, traveling and seeing the world, and a cute outfit.
