Hobbies and Interests

I love to learn languages and try all kinds of alcoholic beverages. I currently speak 4 languages. I was more fluent in French when I was traveling to France every year, my Japanese is something I use daily so it is much better than my French currently. I also previously worked for many years as a barista in a 3rd wave coffee shop, I managed to retain a decent amount of my coffee education.
