QUESTIONS:
[1] What weird food combinations do you really enjoy?
I think I can have guacamole/avocados with anything and be happy 
but in particular on quesadillas or empanadas or with any Latin food! (I guess not that crazy?)
[2] What is your favorite book or movie?
“The Hunger Games” – maybe a bit of a cliched pick but I just thoroughly enjoyed the books/films, might be my favorite book/film adaptation.

“Whatever will be, will be.”
