I'm half Puerto Rican, but I lost my Spanish when I moved with my family to the mainland U.S.

I've lived in Florida most of my life, and I haven't seen very much of the US outside of the southeast. I love Florida, though. Maybe the sun is too brutal. Maybe afternoon thunderstorm​s have forced me to stay indoors on days where I felt like basking in the sunlight. Maybe the drive from South Florida to Georgia is unreasonably​ long (and, incidentally​, absolutely not worth it if your sole motivation is to travel to a state where you can legally purchase a 40 oz. beer). None of it matters to me--Florida is home.

That said, I'm looking forward to traveling once I've got some vacation time. I definitely want to check out the UK, France, Germany, Spain---basi​cally all of Europe. I also want to visit Australia; however, I've got a lot left to see in the U.S. Sadly, I've never been to New York or California.

I spoke Spanish when I was younger. I took Spanish classes in high school, but it's been over 5 years since I've really used any Spanish. I'd love to be able to practice my Spanish, but I'm probably almost at beginner level again :(

I've always wanted to learn German and French, eh, and throw Portugese and Italian in there as well. One language at a time, though.

I'll listen to anything, but I especially enjoy classic rock and the blues

The Rolling Stones, Queen, Meat Loaf, Phil Collins (including the Genesis years), Muddy Waters, BB King, Kanye West, Our Lady Peace

The Count of Monte Cristo, 12 Angry Men, Casablanca, Braveheart, We Own the Night, The Muppets Take Manhattan, Dumb and Dumber, The Dark Knight

Scrubs, I watch college basketball like every night of the week, I watch way too much football in the Fall, Law and Order, I'll occasionally​ flirt with CSI, Entourage, Burn Notice

The Count of Monte Cristo, Robinson Crusoe, The Stranger, Under the Black Flag, anything ever written by Thomas Jefferson, history books, biographies,​ I have this huge book detailing the history of London and it's probably the reason why I am dying to make it out there one day

In matters of style, swim with the current; in matters of principle, stand like a rock.

C is for cookie, and that's good enough for me.
