I have a goal to meet people of all cultures either by visiting as many countries as possible or hosting.
I have hosted over 60 guests from over 30 countries, primarily by direct recommendations in my academic communities. I have similarly been hosted by about 10 hosts in 6 countries. Most of my previous travel has been for work so I have mainly stayed in hotels, but meeting people of different cultures has always been significant for me.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Drove alone from Kansas (USA) to Las Vegas and Hollywood. Also drove from North Carolina up to Canada through Niagara, across Canada (including on a ferry) to Manitoba then back to North Carolina through North Dakota.
I have tried some unusual dishes, especially in China, and will try almost anything at least once.
