Triple Threat

My roommate’s name is Dan. He grew up in Bogotá, Colombia, and he holds dual Panamanian-Colombian citizenship. He is studying at University of San Francisco. He’s a very carefree and easy to get along with guy. According to him, being left handed, Colombian, and Jewish, he has been dubbed “triple threat” when coming through American customs. I started cracking up when I walked into our room for the first time and he blurted out “Thank God you’re not a weirdo.” He’s pretty well traveled and the best thing about him is that he can walk up to any random person and lay on his Colombian charm and get the info that we need. My first instinct if we got lost would be to look at the map, where as he would ask the nearest stranger he sees. This will definitely be a good thing in some of our upcoming trips.
