I'm a musician from the Pacific Northwest of the U.S.

I write songs (or at least I try to) and love watching foreign films from Europe.  I know many languages because I'm from very diverse community and I've been studying opera for a while.  I hope to make lots of music and perform~

I want to meet people from all over and simply share conversation​s about anything :)

I'm learning French and German at the moment because I want to study music in Europe.   Any cool words would be great to know :)

I just  started learning German so I'm still really slow, but I know Spanish and Italian well.

music, video games, road trips, books, thrift shopping, italian food, rice, talking, learning languages , hanging out at bookstores and cafes, walking around cities, exploring, knowing cool things, photography,​ composing music, being in Opera, playing piano.
