Love meeting new people, and also enjoy periods of solitude as well. Have been described as "tactful, considerate and easy to work with".

    More details about my language interests
    My German isn't perfect, but each year I'm getting closer - am somewhere between intermediate and fluent.. Can teach what I know, while working on reducing my accent (!).. Can translate well from German to English, but not so much the other way around... Would love to some day improve my Polish and enjoyed learning some Portuguese the past couple of years.

  • What else ...

    Love bicycling, swimming and walking when weather permits (and sometimes when it doesn't permit) and at home I will normally be reading as opposed to sitting in front of a television. Spend roughly half my time in Vienna, where my daughter lives.
