<p>crazyfrog821- what is the ideal country for you to be working in?</p>
<p>Ooooh tough one! I would love a former french colony of northern africa, or western europe (that would be a treat! ) But if i had to narrow it down to three, it would be (in no particular order):
Senegal, France, Algiers
I speak french and love french culture!!</p>
<p>That is so cool! I’m learning Spanish right now and my top 3 are Chile, Uruguay, and Spain :)</p>
<p>Haha “competition.” Don’t worry, I’m not competitive. When I play sports I talk and socialize with people (If you look at my intramural volleyball pictures, I’m smiling in all of them haha.) Anyway…
