Who I'd Like To Meet

If I could get to know someone in the world who I don't know, I don't have a specific person in mind, but I would like to get to know a girl my age who lives in a country I've never heard of. This may sound a bit weird but I'd want to do this for many reasons. One is because I think that out of the hundreds of countries there are, there is very little I know about the world relatively. I don't particularly like that I don't know much about the world and the many different countries there are. I think that learning about a country from a first hand account would be a great way to find out most information possible. I also think that by getting to know someone who's my age and also a girl, I would be able to empathize and understand more because we would share at least two traits in common. I'd want to learn specifically what it's like to be an 18 year old girl in a country I've never heard of. I'd want to know what the living conditions are, if it's a safe environment, what types of pressure she faces, and just a general culture of teenage life. 

A lot of the times I have learned about foreign countries, it's been in a history class or it pertains to some kind of political drama going on. I find out a lot about the political side of things actually. But I think by getting to know someone like me, it would open another door so to speak in getting past all the political aspects of a country and learning something really new for a change.
