About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Finish my degree, learn all the languages I can.

ABOUT ME

25, Linguistics student. I'm quite introverted and it's hard to break ice at first but once I overcome that I love to talk, mostly about languages, phonetics and sociolinguistics, ethnolinguistics...basically anything lingusitics-related. I love to draw and you can almost always see me reading books and carrying a small sketchbook. I also like to be outdoors: go to the rivers in my hometown, go beach hopping and trekking. I'm still getting the hang of cycling.

PHILOSOPHY

Live fully and hakuna matata.
