The world is such a beautiful (and relatively small) place. And despite its small size, I know so few people. Romantically, I would like to learn all languages, but I know that is not possible, so I am contented with immersing myself in a select few languages (currently Norwegian and Scottish Gaelic). My favourite pastimes are reading, writing, cooking, hiking, cycling, physical activity of any kind, studying languages, and philosophical discussion. There is so much I do not know, and I would be grateful to be able to learn more through you and about you.
