I live in the eastern part of Washington state within the northwestern part of the United States. I am an artist, art professor and a singer-songwriter. I’m not currently looking for a serious language partner, sorry. I am, however, interested in having casual conversations. I’ll chat with you and add you if you are friendly and using a clear profile photo of yourself. ## About - **Age**: 45 - **Location**: Piedmont, Italy ## Languages ### Native Language **English** ### Learning - **Chinese** (Level 3) - **Italian** (Level 1) ## Interests & Hobbies Swimming, Dancing, Wine, Hiking, Drawing, Singing, Traveling, Reading, Music, Art ## Career & Education **Occupation**: Artist and Professor **Education**: University of Cincinnati, Washington State University ## Travel **Hometown**: Trenton, OH USA, Pullman, WA USA **Places to Visit**: China, France, Germany, Italy, Canada, Mexico, Netherlands, Cambodia, Philippines ## Community Stats - **Followers**: 2,461 - **Following**: 983 - **Moments**: 687 - **Language Exchange Sessions**: 0 - **Learning Points**: 20,103 - **Corrections Made**: 186 ## Recent Moments 1.
