Curious about everything - people, countries, cultures. Of scientific background yet artistic by nature. Nature lover. Keep fit enthusiast. Cinema buff. Word puzzle addict. I’m fascinated by other tongues and admire anyone with the ability to speak more than one language! Have tried repeatedly to attain fluency in anything but English, but failed due to life events. Can read French to intermediate level, and Italian to a lesser one, although confidence with speaking still a problem - natives’ pace is so fast! Now reviving Norwegian learnt decades ago, to enrich visits there.
