to meet, share and learn from new people while traveling

I enjoy listening to and learning about all music, especially music from the African diaspora, including but not limited to hip-hop, r&b, jazz, reggae, dancehall, soca, salsa, timba, bachata, merengue, and reggaeton, Afro-pop. I used to study jazz for a minute, and I sing casually. I enjoy movies with complex characters and and social themes or commentary. I also like movies that are funny. Still, I would consider myself a serious movie viewer or critic. I read mostly nonfiction books on history, social issues, politics, religion, & self-improvement.
