I’m not a pioneer — but I might be the first to have blasted both Love You Like a Love Song and Después de la Playa, windows down, in Amman, Jordan.

I’m probably the first to have taken a bucket shower in the Mauritanian Sahara with a yellow loofah and Tresemmé conditioner.

I’m a boy from San José, California, son of Sharareh and Bijan. And that will never change, no matter where I am.
