My real passion is traveling...​I really enjoy visiting different places, meeting new people and experiencing​ other cultures.  It's very interesting for me to learn about cultural differences from either friends or people I meet while traveling.  I'm very open minded and respectful towards other people, and I would like to be able to exchange thoughts and ideas.

Europe is my favorite destination,​ because there is such diversity  among all the countries...​I think it's incredible that there are a mixture of several different languages, cultures, customs and traditions on one continent, but each country is able to keep its own unique identity.  I have traveled to 11 countries in Europe so far, but it's my long term goal to visit every country there.

I studied German for two semesters at my university, but I would really like to improve my knowledge, because at the moment I am only a beginner.  Anyone that is a native German speaker or understands German, please feel free to write to me, because I could use the practice!

Countries Visited

Austria, Bahamas, Canada, China, Czech Republic, England, Estonia, Finland, Hungary, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland, Russia and Scotland.

Other open minded individuals with similar interests, but it's not a requirement.​  I get along very well with most people and can usually find some common interests.  Of course, if you enjoy traveling as much as I do you're more than welcome!
