Hi. I'm 26 and live in the US. I started cubing about 7 years ago. I was solving under 30 seconds using a LBL method with 2-look OLL and full PLL. Sadly, I lost interest in cubing as college got more serious, and I have recently come back to cubing. I really didn't like CFOP anymore when I came back, so I have switched to learning ZZ, and I am getting faster (sub-1 minute, but making a lot of progress). I also learned blind solving 3x3 from Noah's tutorial, and I'm really having a lot of fun slowly getting faster at that. I also solve 4x4 and 5x5. I've used these forums a lot, and it's great to be there.
