Hi there & nice to meet you,

I´m Sophia, 23 & currently I´m living in Nürnberg with my boyfriend, as I study English, German and geography.
From September 2008 I´ll study in Ireland and I´m really looking forward to it *YAY*
+ in Oktober 2009 I´ll take part in a field trip of the department of geography of my university - to MEXICO! *YAY2*

I like to hang out with my friends (go out, talk, watch a movie etc),
to meet new people, to travel (I´d simply love to go everywhere!)​
& to make weird trips without knowing where to before leaving -
and sometimes I just like to grab a good book and read for a while,
as well as I love to go to cinema :)

I´m also very interested in other cultures and the way of life in other countries.

Sometimes I´m a freak ;) -> I like freaks, I dislike narrow-minde​d people! ^.~

I´m looking for
* people from all over the world (no romance!)
* to exchange emails or (preferably!​) SNAILMAIL

I think snailmail is more personal an exciting - I also like to swap pictures, postcards and small presents once in a while ^_^
Let´s talk about our lives & thoughts as well as hopes & dreams.

ah - and yes: no romance means *NO ROMANCE* as in "Sorry,​ it would be great if you read my profile before sending me a request to marry you - I´M NOT LOOKING FOR ROMANCE!"​ XD - I´ll delete mails like that :D

*slight amusment* Please no "friend​ collectors"​. If you already have 200+x friends it would be nice if you talk to me BEFORE you hit the add-button *lol*

I can help with English & German :) as I study both at university & am a native speaker of German

HELP?
It would be great if someone could help me with Farsi :) & I fear I forgot most of my French
+ also looking for native speakers of English  to further improve my pronounciati​on
