call to arms *g*
Howdy everyone,
my name`s Iulia (though all my foreign friends call me Jules) and I currently reside in Romania. I`m 25 going on... further, and I got married in a cute civil ceremony this year. I share an apartment with my now-husband and the two cats who will take a trip to the countryside this weekend, and will stay there in my father`s care, as they were growing far too big for the tiny kitchen.
I have a MA in Conference Interpreting and a BA in Applied Modern Languages; this means I`ve been working as a freelance translator for the past 4 years, while taking up short-term jobs as a tutor, teacher or trainer every now and then. I`m also into bloggind, writing and pen-palling. Reading is my main addiction, though caffeine comes in a close second.
I`m interested in meeting people whose native language isn`t English - mostly French-, German-, Spanish- and Italian-speaking, BUT! this is mostly to suit my fancy of practising these tongues. For any other things we might have in common, native speaker of English are more than welcome.
Other stuff I like counts psychology, mythology, many-other-things-ending-in-ology, studying (I`m one of those probably extremely rare people who`d like to stay in university forever; it would be even greater if someone paid me for it) aaand... you name it.
Pen-Pal Information:
How many do you have?
Er. I began this project on my personal journal; so far, 4-5 people announced themselves as willing.
How many do you want?
As many as possible.
E-mail or snail mail?
Preferably snail mail, but I`ll take email too if someone is afraid of long distances :D
How long are your letters?
Except 4+. I am talkative.
How long does it take you to reply to a letter?
One-two weeks, taking my schedule into account.
Handwritten or typed?
I`m into handwriting and mine is quite neat.
Age preference?
Not really, but I assume being 18+ would make things easier.
Where?
Mostly Europe, but I`ll gladly take anywhere else in the world as long as distance doesn`t scare you.
What are you looking for in a pen-pal?
Someone fun, reliable and flexible, who can surprise me and accept to be surprised.
