What is one unique thing people don’t know about you – like a hobby, a former profession, or a place you’ve visited?

I lived in the jungle from the age of 7-9 with no electricity, running water, or housing with doors and learned how to collect water from the rivers, fry grasshoppers, grind corn, and basically survive with the Aztecs in a village called Teotitlan del Valle outside of Oaxaca, Mexico; I learned Spanish in a week and then Zapotec and became a young rug weaver.  They have been weaving there for over 2500 years.

I would be a time traveler.
