I’m residing in Dallas, Texas, and work as immigration
advisor which helps fund my travels.

I’m trying to learn Mandarin and improve my Spanish language skills/fluency, so I’d be up for having a conversation partner.

Music, Movies, and Books

Music: I’ve got an extremely eclectic taste in music, so mostly anything barring extreme heavy rock, or insane rap. I mostly listen to Top 40, Alternative, Hiphop, Country, and even Instrumental. I actually like finding good singers on YouTube.

TV/Movies: Comedy, Action, Drama, mostly...so Wedding Crashers, or some superhero movies, like Batman. As for TV, like Hijack, Silo, Yellowstone (and spin-offs).

Books: I read a lot on Leadership and about international affairs, and foreign policy, but I like to get lost in fiction every once in awhile. Some of the books on critical thinking (Gladwell, Surowiecki), religion, psychology/sociology (Rene Brown), or food - it’s origins, production, distribution, and its affect on health.

Podcasts: My favorite podcast is NPR’s “Intelligence Squared” debates...a couple others are “How Stuff Works, “ or “Stuff You Should Know.”
