CURRENT MISSION

“For my part, I travel not to go anywhere, but to go. I travel for travel’s sake. The great affair is to move.” Robert Louis Stevenson

ABOUT ME

I am just finishing a year at SOAS in London studying International Studies and Diplomacy for an MA. Looking forward to getting a job in the future and starting a whole new chapter with (hopefully!) a career!

I studied at Edinburgh University in Scotland for 4 years learning Spanish and Arabic. During that time I spent a year in Cairo and Madrid.

I love learning languages, I think they're the key to understanding everyone around the world...

I love travelling, especially to places where I speak the language where I can practise and get to know people. I always want to see new places, but I think it's important to spend time everywhere instead of rushing through, I want to go deeper into every country than just scratching the surface.

PHILOSOPHY
