Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSIONS
Parler le français comme les ouvriers de Zola.
Mejorar mi español, aumentar o meu pequeno nível do português, learn enough German to say I’m trying to learn German.
My non-linguistic mission is to meet people who can tell me something totally different from what everyone else says, be that funny or weird or sad or something they’re obsessed with and passionate about. I’m just always happy to meet someone who thinks about what they really want to say before saying it (and occasionally do that in the other order, as we all do!).
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
Trying to learn how people live their lives.
