About Me

Wassup people!

To start with a little about myself.. well, first and foremost I'm a very social person. One of the things I enjoy, and I believe that I'm pretty good at, is making friends and talking to people. I talk to all kinds of people all the time. Simply put; I'm a people person.

I try to be as open-minded as possible toward all kinds of things in life.. otherwise it'd get really boring, right? I enjoy trying new things all the time, and currently I'm into a bunch of different kinds of music, language, and foods.

My Interests

Music, people, language, exercise, food, technology, travel, cars. That pretty much covers everything.

I'd like to meet:

You know, I like to meet people. I mean, just all kinds of people from all over the place. A goal in my life is to meet lots of interesting individuals, and travel to as many different places as I can so I can.

And that'd be awesome.
