What other countries have you been to?
Jamaica, Costa Rica, Scotland, England, Spain, Italy, Brazil, Mexico, and Canada.

Where else would you go if you had the chance?
Everywhere, but my top picks would be Australia, Ecuador, and Guatemala.

If you could have any other job, what would it be?
A bus driver, taxi driver, or a landscaper.

What interests you about the Spanish culture?

Lowville
