One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

One of my most memorable travel experiences was being at the Obelisco in Buenos Aires, Argentina right after Argentina beat Mexico during the 2006 Copa Mundial. It felt like the whole country of Argentina descended upon the Obelisco. Everyone was singing, dancing, and going crazy.

I can show you how to cook like an American College student :). I love learning about new cultures, cuisines, politics, sports, everything. I'm always willing to contribute as much as I can.
