Someone fun and who likes to laugh! I can’t talk to someone who can’t hold a conversation. And someone respectful. I didn’t come to Tandem to find a boyfriend.

“I love Tandem Pro. When I’m taking a trip to a new place, I always check out the “Travel” section to see if there is anyone who looks interesting there. It’s like having a local guide who teaches you a bit of their language!”

Ideal language community partner

I think my perfect tandem partner would be someone who is flexible but still can talk fairly regularly. My ideal partner would also give involved responses to open-ended questions.

My learning goals

I would like to become as close to fluent as possible. In terms of motivation, I love to travel and most of the places that I want to travel to speak French or Spanish. Therefore, I want to learn those languages well so I can communicate while I travel.

My favorite topics

I enjoy discussing history, politics, music, art, sports, food, and traveling. Generally, I am interested in seeing how other people see the world!
