I'm an American who just recently graduated from a University in Northern California . It is my goal to talk to as many different people from a wide variety of backgrounds as possible! I especially like getting to really understand strangers and how their particular experiences/successes/hardships have shaped their worldview and personality. I'm particularly fascinated by how two complete strangers can become friends in such a short period of time. Of course, I also love exploring new regions of the world.

PS: I'm extremely interested in the German language and culture and would love to connect and practice my German with anyone who is willing.
