About Me

CURRENT MISSION

improving my reply rate -I was off site for a long time, and had stuff relaying to an unused email. If you message me now I'll reply -promise!

ABOUT ME

If I had to describe myself in a paragraph...
People have described me as very curious and outwardly expressive -I talk with my hands a lot and my face almost always shows what I'm thinking -which means I think I'm pretty straight-up most of the time. I also have a peculiar tendency to wander off in thought at odd intervals when I probably ought to be paying attention to what's going on around me.
I think I'm pretty gregarious; I have a lot of opinions, and enjoy reasoned discussion with people who see things differently. I love meeting new people, and sharing opinions about the world. My German is ok, (I suppose around the B2 level) but I'm happy to meet people with whom I can practice and improve.

Unfortunately, I've noticed that learning German has made it difficult for me to maintain my French. The last time I tried to converse with someone in French nothing but German would come out, so I'd also like to meet up with any francophones that might be in the Munich area to practice my French.

that's about all I can say, rest assured I'm a level-headed sane person -but of course, who wouldn't say that about themselves? If you'd like to more about me, please ask.
