People enjoy about me's and as a writer I should excel in them... I feel like I'm failing here; self-praise isn't easy, ya know. There's nothing too special about me except for my average desire to meet nice people and be nice to them in return. I enjoy people who have good stories to tell (duh, who doesn't?) and my hobbies are writing (again, duh haha), eating and drinking, hiking and running and politics. I try not to be boring and for the most part I think I do quite well on that :) I absolutely love politics, love talking about it, love hearing everyone, love trying to make people change their stance on immigration and refugees (if they hate them because I don't) and I love dogs... a lot. If you have a dog, in fact any animal, that's going to attract me way more than it's supposed to deter.

Music, Movies, and Books

I genuinely know nothing about music, I'm so sorry to everyone because everyone likes music. Any kind of live music I WILL like though. I just can't seem interesting based on my taste in music, cause it isn't. My favorite authors are Khaled Husseini and Simon Beckett, mainly because I'm a fan of Afghanistan and Forensic Anthropology respectively...

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I met Amitabh Bachchan :)

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm not religious, but I'm spiritual, so I like to learn from people in that respect and know I can share a lot on it as well since I used to be super, super religious back in high school.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Anecdotes from a few countries... cooking... bad jokes... impressive knowledge about the German national football team... 1000 refugee stories, I know a lot of them... lots and lots of hate for the right end of the political spectrum... stories, just stories. They're my job and I have many...
