About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To never stop learning

ABOUT ME

Easy going, fun (I think), open minded, extroverted, picky, argumentative at times and smart. I love to get to know new people and different views on life and cultures. Languages intrigue me and I´m always learning new things related to linguistics. I'm a super linguistics nerd. If you wanna hang out with me be prepared to hear some nerdy linguistics talk. I'm always wanting to learn more. Hablo Español. Falo Portugues. Je parle un peu de francais (probably wrote that wrong). Je veux apprendre beaucoup. Please help me with my French! And i am always wanting to hear and learn about different languages.
For some strange reason i really like Portugal and really want to have a good visit and practice my portuguese and experience the culture.

Please read my profile! If you send me a message please include Betty Boop in it somewhere... either in the subject or message itself.

PHILOSOPHY

Be kind, have your own morals and try your best to stick to them, learn every day, forgive and remember. Have a positive aspect on the world but don´t be naive.
