I like books, listening to music, watching films, meeting new people, and spending time in nature. I love coffee, good food, plane rides, exploring beautiful places, photography, and learning languages. I adore rainy days and dogs! I don't really watch TV but I watch a lot of Netflix, and I love to watch standup comedy.

I study linguistics in university, and I'm writing my thesis on the relationship between syntax and semantics. I am always studying a new language, and I love to travel! Our planet is a wondrous place and I want to see all of it.

I am a life-long learner and I want to know anything you can teach me. Lately I've been interested in politics and history, and I'm teaching myself neuroscience and philosophy. I especially want to know everything about other people. I love making friends and hearing new perspectives on the world.

I love photos--photos of people, places, pets, anything. I love to take them and look at them. I am in love with all kinds of art.
