CURRENT MISSION

I want to live like a leaf on the wind...

ABOUT ME

so this is me. i'm sabrina desirée, i also go by safi mariam. my birthday is 30 december, which makes me a capricorn. i was born in athens, greece. i've lived all over the world, including germany, england, china, japan and the united states. i am an only child. i live in georgia with my mum, but i also spend time in my father's house in los angeles.

growing up, i spoke german, english and arabic. languages have always come easy for me, with little study. i don't know why or how, just that i can learn languages well. i speak german, english, french, and spanish fluently, and japanese and arabic not so fluently.

i have always been loud, gregarious, friendly and mostly kind. i am also never late, mostly serious and always polite. i am not very strict, with rules or many other things.

i like tennis and soccer. i don't watch much television, but i love watching movies. i like to jog, but i am lazy. i can cook, but i hate to do it. i am politically minded, and i am very liberally progressive in all things, economics and society. it's tough being a liberal progressive in georgia, in case you were wondering.

i have a bachelor's degree in french secondary education. my minor was statistics. i also have a certification to teach english as a second language. i do work as a teacher. i'm not sure if i want that to be my career, but it's something i do well.

i don't know what home is, having moved so much. i feel more comfortable in europe, but i have been living in america for a while now, and while it will never feel like home, it is where both my parents live, and i do have good memories attached to this country, along with being an american citizen by the grace of my father's citizenship.

it's very nice to meet you. let's get to know one another.
