About Me

I love traveling, learning about different cultures, and meeting new people. I am open-minded. I don't care if you're far-right or far-left, religious or irreligious, etc. I don't believe life exists in neither absolutes nor that it could be examined solely in one way. I like connecting with people, not only on things we have in common, but about life itself.

I love hiking, but city life has its benefits as well. I am open to try new things and I try to make the most of any situation, the worse they are, the more humor one can find. clubbing til after breakfast is as entertaining to me as smoking hookah while sipping on some tea.

My Spanish is decent, I used it alot with friends and now while working as a nurse. I taught myself Brazilian Portuguese and it feels the most natural to me, even though I'm at an intermediate level... I love traveling to Brazil. My Russian got better after traveling the Silk Road and then living in Russia, but I haven't used it much since. I've dabbled in a few other languages, but not steadily.
