Hi my name is KoonKoon! I am 20 years old and i like to hang out with my friends and watch my favorite shows like Doctor Who, Supernatural and The Walking Dead. I like to go lots of places on all kinds of adventures. I take lots of pictures and I post one everyday of my random adventures for all of my friends to see. Who says a young raccoon can’t get out there and see the world, especially with my friends MoMo, Ducky and Eric Carle. I take the RTA buses to get around because my car is in the shop. Everyone on the bus is really nice and they love to take pictures with me. I would love to make lots of new friends to share my adventures with.
