Perfect language exchange partner

My perfect tandem partner would be a little bit like me, they can be different so that we can share different ideas. They should have the same or similar mindset as I do.

My learning goals

I would love to learn as many languages as I can. I want to start by learning Asian languages because I want to get an English teacher in Asia one day.
