Friendly Texan (and E/INTP) looking to make new friends across the globe and hopefully get to meet in person someday. I love learning about different cultures and getting to know people beyond the initial "hi, how are you?" introduction.

I have a dry, dark, sometimes sarcastic sense of humor, often change topics with very little warning and tend to say exactly what's on my mind. If you like talking about history or international politics, want to practice your English, or ask about life in the USA, then I'm your man :) If you have a good sense of humor and an open-minded curiosity about the world, feel free to say hello!

Postcards and snail mail exchange would be great, but chatting here or elsewhere is good, too.

Happy to help anyone practice English and a little Spanish. Hoping to make time to learn Russian, but will be happy learning French or Italian :)

Big foodie here, love animals, following international politics, business and current events, cars, architecture and urban planning, art and graphic design, history, geography (love maps and atlases)

More of a classic rock/pop fan...Tom Petty, Fleetwood Mac, Harry Styles, Sheryl Crow, Jason Mraz, U2, ABBA, Beatles, Billy Joel, Queen, Ed Sheeran and others. I'm open to listening to new stuff, so feel free to share some of your favorites!

Airplane!, Best in Show, Dr. Zhivago, Goodbye, Lenin!, Call Me By Your Name, Taken, City of God, This is Spinal Tap, 2001: A Space Odyssey, National Lampoon’s Vacation, Pedro Almodovar films

Heartstopper, Sex Education, Slow Horses, Wednesday, Borgen, Ghosts, Curb Your Enthusiasm, FBI, NCIS, Survivor, The Bear, Hacks, South Park, American Dad!, The Office, Young Royals, The Crown,Young Sheldon, White Lotus, Mexican shows on Netflix

Love biographies and anything having to do with history, as well as books that try to make sense of human nature, humor, cookbooks, travel guides and anything about business and self-improvement.
