Hi everyone, I’m Tim. I like to cook, read, learn new things, listen to music and podcasts, watch movies, shows and comedy.
If it matters, I’m a vegetarian. I’m not religious, but I respect everyone’s beliefs. I’m also not political, so I don’t want to discuss politics.
I’m introverted and suffer from severe depression. I’m unmarried and have no children.
I’m happy to meet all types of people regardless of gender, age, religion, nationality, etc.
Я изучаю русский язык самостоятельно уже несколько лет. Вот почему мне особенно интересно встречаться и общаться с носителями русского языка, чтобы практиковать свой русский. Я нахожу русскую культуру, литературу, еду, историю очень интересными и хотел бы пообщаться с носителями языка.
Requests
It's all good. Anyone is welcome.
Language Exchange Requests
Я изучаю русский язык и мне бы не помешала практика общения с носителями русского языка. Спасибо большое!
