I'm an aspiring Arabist, trying very hard (special emphasis) to learn Arabic even though it has been quite a torture. I also speak and write German (intermediate), and will be spending 2 months in Tehran. Will also be learning some Farsi because it has common roots with German.

If you are traveling to Iran, I'd be happy to meet you and hang out. I've been there last year.

I shall be pursuing my Masters degree next year (2017) in either the UK or Europe (Switzerland, Germany, or the Netherlands). If you are from either of these countries it would also be a pleasure to speak to you.

Chat me up if you're interested in Middle Eastern affairs :-)

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm happy to teach anyone English or Chinese. I teach English part-time at the elementary level, so if you need help please feel free to contact me.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I have been bringing friends around Singapore for years, so when you're here and need some guidance, please feel free to contact me. Unfortunately I do not own an apartment or a free room at the moment - I will actively update my profile, and if such an opportunity arises I will definitely be happy to host someone.
