Languages I can speak *a bit* (not fluent!): Ukrainian, Dutch, French, Mandarin Chinese. Why those ones? I enjoy trying to learn a bit of the local language(s) when I travel or live in a new place, and I've lived or traveled a lot in places where those languages were spoken.

I have been studying, traveling, and living in new countries for the past few years. Since I play the carillon (bell tower bells, which is a real instrument with a keyboard and everything!), I have had even more incentive to travel in order to visit more carillons, which are often housed in gorgeous chapels, universities, and towers throughout the world.

I am interested in minimalism, sustainable living/travel, and slow fashion. I care about human rights and constantly try to be a better global citizen.

I absolutely love cats, and would have a cat of my own if I didn't travel so much. My goal is to become the adopted parent/friend of all cats I meet.

There are only about 600 carillons in the world, and I would love to play them all someday

Teach, Learn, Share

Can teach you about the carillon, the world's heaviest and greatest instrument. If there is a carillon nearby, maybe we can also visit it together :)
Always looking for book recommendations and language learning tips
