Interests
Personally, I believe that living in an international community is an underrated experience. Ideas and information exchange hands and are interpreted through a new set of eyes each time. I enjoy spending time learning new languages, and am currently trying to expand my Norwegian abilities and begin a small level of competency in Polish. I also value music not only as an art, but also as a means of communication between two people.
