My free time is limited, so I prefer voice calls over endless texting. Any conversation topic is good (e.g. daily life, travel experiences, hobbies, culture, dreams, philosophical questions, personal problems). I love cycling, swimming, music and films.

Ideal conversation exchange partner

Friendly and easygoing people. People who are willing to keep in touch. Good sense of humor is a plus.
