Really anything I do like talking about dream jobs and accomplishments. I love 60-80s rock music. So if you like that kind of music, that would be a good topic. I love art, I’m actually an artist and trying to get my work out there, so that’s another.

My language exchange partner is

Someone who is outgoing, funny, awkward and understanding like I am. Someone who can talk about all sorts of things. So if you’re nice, that’s good too. Oh and if they’re okay with sarcasm. There will probably be a lot of that.
