I'm a professional photographer, living and working in the US. I grew up in the UK and went back there to obtain my MFA. Probably like you, I love traveling, hearing new languages, and the nuances of language and culture. My passion is visual art. I could talk about it all day long. However, other topics that I could really converse about are food and cooking, business, politics, yoga, art history.... I'm interested in learning foreign languages specifically because as an artist I like to do residencies and studio swaps and this will open up many places to me. I also used to run a gallery and hope to someday do it again, so I am eager to meet artists from foreign countries. I've had some foreign language penpals before and I know it can be hard to get the communication and consistency to work well. I'm looking for someone who can exchange an email, or even better a 30-60 min video chat, every other week. Work takes much of my time, so I don't need to meet frequently, just regularly :) à bientôt!
