Chasing education through new experiences and teachings

I find the most interest in the things that seem foreign and new. I enjoy learning about other cultures' music, history, food, languages and customs. I've traveled to many states in the U.S. and I've spent a month in the Philippines when I was 14. By constantly surrounding myself with those who are different than me, it has helped me greatly improve my ability to empathize with others and engage in divergent thinking. I believe my personality is adaptive and respectful to anyone I might encounter.
