Hello my name is Brittany and I am 29. I was born in 🇺🇸. I am in a serious relationship with the love of my life and am not interested in meeting people that are just on here to date. I am looking for like minded people, or those with similar interests, who want to share their culture and experiences. I’m also looking for native foreign language speakers to do a language exchange with and to perhaps host or show me around their cities. When I travel, I don’t want to see just the tourist hot spots, I want to make fond memories and experience it like the locals do, as well as try the local dishes (not in touristy areas).

I am a Leo ♌️. I speak fluent English, Portuguese, and Spanish. My Italian level has dropped to intermediate, due to lack of use. I also took a year of both French and Japanese. I have my Masters degree in Global Affairs with a specialty in National Security and my BA in Portuguese with a minor in translation. If we have similar interests don’t be shy, go ahead and contact me.
