ABOUT ME

I am a native speaker of both French and English and have been living in Spain long enough to be comfortable with Spanish. I studied German, Italian and Chinese at school and I have been picking up some Portuguese (from conversations).
A bit shy at first, but gradually open up as trust builds and can become rather talkative when the right subject is hit and am a good listener otherwise. I like to discover new things and learn about other cultures. I think of myself as open-minded and respectful. I don't smoke and only drink socially.
Besides learning about them, I believe meeting other people is an invaluable opportunity to learn about different things in different places and in some cases even learn about yourself.
