“I’m currently learning Japanese but I also want to pick up Korean, Italian, Spanish, French, Bahasa Indonesia, and American Sign Language, and also brush up on Mandarin. My dream is to be a polyglot, to be able to speak languages at a conversational level to connect with people.”
“I’ve been with my fiancé, Ian, for close to 10 years now. As cheesy as it sounds, there are rarely any dull moments with him because he always tries his best to make me laugh. We’re getting married soon, so it feels really surreal to start calling him my husband!”
