Hey there!

I'm Betty, a History and Chinese student at Edinburgh, Scotland who loves travelling, good food and being by the sea. Combine the three together and you're onto a winner.

I'd describe myself as smiley and chilled out (I think...) Have spent this summer volunteering in Guangzhou, China and from September 2016 I'll be on my year abroad in Beijing. Very excited to be able to explore a new part of the world.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Travelling around India with 4 other university friends. We were lucky enough to be invited to the wedding of an Indian Prince... I thought this kinda stuff only happened in the movies but he actually rode into the ceremony on an elephant the final night. Crazy, crazy experience.
