I'm a 45-year-old male, and I live in Las Vegas, United States .

I speak English and a tiny bit of Spanish, Japanese.

Current level: Regular

• 6

• My interests in other cultures

  I would love to learn about all types of cultures, cultural habits, likes, dislikes, anything! To me, knowledge is one of the greatest gifts we can give ourselves and to others. The more we learn about one another, the better we understand each other. There is too much fighting and negativity in the world that can be resolved by simple knowledge of each other, and an understanding of each culture. 🙂

• I always enjoy talking about...

  Anything because I am an open book. I can talk about anything, while making sure I respect the other person's beliefs and/or opinions. 🙂 I do love talking about gaming, technology, everyday life, and people's dreams...probably the most.

• Cities and countries I have visited

  I have yet to travel internationally, but my first places I'd love to visit are Canada and Mexico.

• My proudest accomplishments

  Earning my Bachelor's Degree in Web Design and IT. Staying true to myself.

• I'm an expert at...

  I am an expert in computers and technology. However, that is just one passion of mine. I feel I am also an expert in patience, listening, and understanding. I love to help when I can and to make people happy!

• A personal challenge

  The hardest thing I have ever done...has to be dealing with my phobia of open spaces (modified agoraphobia), while not letting it stop me in earning my degree, or taking care of things that I need to get done. 🙂 Dealing with a major phobia can prevent people from doing a lot of things that others do without a second thought. I can say that, while I have this phobia, I don't let it stop me. I leave my house, love going outside, and interacting with others! 🙂

• Favourite books/authors/films

  Films: All Marvel movies, DC movies, Deadpool, Judge Dredd, Demolition Man, John Wick, The Hitman's Bodyguard, Transformers (all Transformers movies), and many more.

  Books: Better to say I like different genres such as Sci-fi, Documentaries, and Romance.

• Making the world a better place

  To make the world a better place, the answer is simple...but complex at the same time: Understanding, caring, and love. While these things are very simple aspects, we tend to steer towards hate and violence. I think the world would be a better place if we learned to understand, care, and have love for our fellow neighbors. 🙂

• Personal skills

  I wouldn't say I have skills that most people don't, because I know there is always someone that knows things better. 🙂 But my skills are web design, technology, gaming, listening, understanding, compassion, and teaching.

• Childhood pleasures

  Ummm....school? lol

• I recently learnt...

  I learned recently how to play the old board game Risk...does that count? 🙂

• I'm excited about...

  My home city of Las Vegas, NV
  s National Hockey League's Vegas Golden Knights! 🙂 Also, I am excited for 2020 and to see what the new year will bring.

• Something uncommon about me

  My love of romance novels??

• It was better before

  They had to navigate life without the use of things like social media, texting, emailing, and pretty much most things technology. I am glad to say that, while I LOVE technology, social media, emailing, and texting...I do have the tools needed to survive if we somehow lost our technology. 🙂

• It is better now

  The ability to communicate with others around the world. Technology has put the entire world at our fingertips. 🙂

• A trick or piece of advice

  I live by the motto of "Never Give Up!". No matter what happens, there is always something good...you just have to find it. 🙂
