Danshi

Travel information

I am currently

Description

Hi! My name is Danshi, I'm 22 and originally from Virginia in the U.S., but I have always loved to travel. I have spent a lot of time in Western Europe and Eastern US/Canada, but I am always looking to branch out and visit new places/learn new languages!

I recently graduated from university and now hold a degree in Film and Television Studies, as well as Philosophy. I am a lifelong learner, which explains why I've decided to experience new cultures and meet new people here in Europe. In recent years, I've spent quite a bit of time in Montréal, Québec, so I speak a little French, but I'm always looking to improve and converse with native speakers. I also love music (I am a frequent concert-goer!), engaging in invigorating conversations, and cooking vegan food! I am excited to connect with people from all over the world and acquaint myself with different communities.

More details about my language interests
I have been taking French classes nearly all of my life, but I haven't had the opportunity to progress those skills by speaking with native speakers/not spending time in French-speaking countries/regions. However, I did live in Montréal for about 4 months this past summer, and I do believe my skills somewhat progressed.
