I've always been interested in meeting new people. Maybe that's why I started studying languages so early? Now I'm an English teacher for foreign students, so I get to meet people from around the world. At home, I love to read (sci-fi and fantasy, but novels of all kinds), bake and cook, and collect and send postcards and letters. I also enjoy live music, urban exploration, and light hiking and jogging. My husband and I have a standard poodle whom we're obsessed with. We spend a lot of time training and attempting dog sport.
