I'm an American raised in San Diego, California. My roots are Dutch and Swedish, but I consider myself a citizen of the world and passionate student of life with a myriad of hobbies and interests. From a young age, I've been helplessly fascinated with anything related to languages and accents. This led to my studies in International Business where I was fortunate enough to complete my degree abroad at Moscow State University. I have also spent several summers in Sweden and try to visit two new countries every year. I would love to converse with you to share learned experiences and just plain ol' language exchange.
