I am a bookworm by some people's standards, but cannot sit still for more than five minutes (which poses a serious problem). I am also hopelessly addicted to roller-coasters (which are a joke in Peru), and can't think of a better way to spend a weekend than on the road with friends. I also love animals, especially dogs, and can stare at my plants for hours at a time.
And one thing anyone who meets me immediately realizes about me: I am obsessed with the six thousand or so languages spoken in the world today, and seriously wish I could understand every single one of them. Realistically, though, I speak English, Spanish, French, and a hybrid of European and Brazilian Portuguese that sounds like neither; plus I can read most Western Romance languages. I am also trying to teach myself German, Greek, Arabic, and Latin—and kicking myself in the @$$ for not having enough room in my head for Quechua, Mandarin, and Hebrew!
I'm a total nerd, and a Wikipedia freak :) —I just wish I was rich so I could rent a studio in Paris and study linguistics at the Sorbonne...
