CURRENT MISSION

Grow up, maybe, in a few years

ABOUT ME

I grew up in a small town in the southern English countryside, but I am in love with London, where I have studied for two years. This year I spent a year on exchange in Grenoble, France, not working hard enough but enjoying making friends from all over the world.
