Hi! I'm an American of Moroccan-Cuban Jewish background, looking for native Russian and Albanian speakers.

Regarding my interest in Russian, I'm planning on visiting a few countries in the Caucasus as well as some of the stans, and want to learn some basic Russian so I can communicate on a rudimentary level with most people and be able to have social interactions I wouldn't engage in without any knowledge of Russian (or the local languages).

Regarding my interest in Albanian, I'm very interested in Albania/Kosovo. I've also always been interested in learning languages, and the Albanian language's uniqueness makes it all the more intriguing.

I am interested in culture, travel, movies, pop culture, history (especially Soviet/communist history), cats, jewelry, birds... I also love just asking questions and getting to know people!
