I am one of those people sometimes called old souls, or at least I feel like one. I've had a collection of currency bills pinned to a map since I was in high school. My favorites are Colombia's, Switzerland's, the Philippines' Brasil's, and Mexicos. That said I have not been to all of these places, but I was born and raised in Bogota, Colombia. When I was 19 I learned Portuguese because I found Bossa Nova a beautiful music genre. One of the artistic expressions I have is dancing, specifically Salsa dancing. My friends have gifted me Afro-Cuban instruments that I've also taught myself to play.
