* Your interests and/or anything else you'd like to share? My passion is living abroad - beyond US boundaries. During university, I studied/lived in Switzerland for 2 years. I am currently living in China, my 3rd consecutive year. I believe living abroad, outside your native country, is indeed educational and inspiring. Everyone should have the opportunity to experience being far from home. It will teach you valuable lessons and take you to magical places. I may be in far distant lands, but I am never far from my heart: Arizona, my parents, and my Diné culture. :-)
