My learning goals

I would like to improve my Spanish speaking ability, since it's a lot worse than my reading and writing abilities. I would also like to learn Korean, Japanese, and Mandarin Chinese, but I haven't started learning those yet, so I'm a complete beginner​.

My favorite topics

My hobbies include camping, backpacking, traveling, swimming, and running. I'm currently a college student, and I'm studying Mathematical Economics and Spanish. I'm considering teaching English in Korea, Japan, or China after I graduate!
