I am an academic with a background in linguistics and the media and an interest in cultures of the world and international affairs. I enjoy the cinema, travel, music, both listening and playing, reading and writing, particularly snail mail by fountain pen on quality paper. I also love sending and receiving postcards, walking and training my dog and exchanging ideas with people all over the world. I would be happy to correspond with you, and your age, gender, race or country of origin does not matter. Very keen on oriental languages, I would be very happy to exchange English for your language.
