Perfect language exchange partner

Someone who is patient and interested in learning more about the languages and cultures we are trying to learn or are interested in taking about other common interests.

My learning goals

Mostly improve upon what little I know so far of Korean. I know very little Mandarin and am just starting to learn it, but it is another language I am interested in. I also have some basic knowledge of Spanish from school.
