ABOUT ME
I'm a student at Nottingham Uni, studying languages (Russian and a language once called/formerly known as Serbo-Croat). I love to travel, meet new people. I'd say I was very open minded, and generally friendly to most. I like to keep busy... Just finished an amazing year studying in Russia, Saint Petersburg and Belgrade Serbia... but also travelling extensively around regions close by. I love music, going out and generally
I usually tend to work during term time in order to earn money, which meant teaching english, cafe work, laserquest and bar work.
I'm now studying a little bit of photography in the beautiful, historic, but alas small, city of Durham

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
