What are you passionate about?
hot springs, water, mountains, language, attending festivals and gatherings

Tell an extremely memorable moment.

Tell us a joke.
An old one, but fitting.
The world’s smartest man, the president, a priest, and a hippie are all in a helicopter that is going down.
there are only 3 parachutes.
the president has important things to do down on earth, he takes one of the parachutes and jumps.
the world’s smartest man grabs the second parachute and jumps.
the priest looks to the hippie and says, “Please, son, take the last parachute. God must be telling me my time on earth is done.”
the hippie looks to the priest and says, “Don’t worry, man, the world’s smartest man just jumped out with my backpack.”
