I am retired and wish to improve my rusty French. Interested in learning French from a native speaker and shall be happy to teach English in exchange. Previously work in economic development, financial sector, preschool teaching, educational research and academic publishing. My interests are travel, landscape photography, hiking, other cultures and food, cooking, and nature. I chose this website because I am a private person and it does not encourage romantic relationships. Also, no politics and religious topics please. That said, I am curious and open to discuss topics of shared interests.
