Also, I think we need to make sure that we have complementary race skills:
Do you speak any foreign languages? Experienced international traveler? Fly a lot? Can you drive a stick? Are you in good physical shape? Good navigator? Can you eat lots of disgusting food? Any phobias?
Me: Yes (spanish, turkish). Not really. Yes (weekly). Yes. I'm no body builder, but I work out. Yes. No, but as long as it doesn't matter if I puke it back up, we should be ok. No phobias -- wouldn't mind skydiving, bungee jumping, riding a bike along a wire, or any of those things.
This matches perfectly with Venusian's profile: Yes (26), Yes (had to request additional passport pages 3 times this year alone), Yes (daily), Yes (He was the stuntman in that car chase in the Italian Job), Yes (runner up for Mr. Universe 2007), Yes (was an army ranger and once traversed North Korea just using the stars for navigation), Yes (he's actually one of the World's Top 5 competitive eaters -- he goes by Eater X).
