I rarely watch TV, but when I do, my favorite TV show is 60 Minutes. My favorite mindless TV shows are Modern Family & Big Bang Theory.

I love to travel and learn about other cultures. If I could leave today to travel anywhere in the world I'd jet off to to Southeast Asia - Cambodia, Vietnam & Thailand.
