ABOUT ME

Hi there!!!Nice to meet you-my name is Camilla and I am new in CS even though I've heard a lot about it.
I really don't know what to tell you about me, but I could start from the beginning: I grew up in a small city in the north of Italy, not too far from Milan and Bologna, I attended the faculty of Languages at the University of Parma, after two years I decided to live one year abroad, in the surprising country of Estonia. There, I had the chance to know many people from different countries and cultures and I had also the chance to travel both around Estonia and around Europe (especially because the transports were really cheap ;) ). I was supposed to stay in Estonia only for 6 months, but I prolonged my stay and I taught Italian language to students in the Language Centre of the University of Tartu.
Once back in Italy, I graduated and I took off for London, where I have worked and lived for three months with my boyfriend, a Brazialian couple and a Turkish guy.
I love living in an international environnement and that's why I decided to look for a MA course abroad: now it's time for Holland :) where I'll be studying Russian and Eurasian Studies in the city of Leiden.
I consider my self very lucky because despite my 24 years, I have already visited many places and I consider my self able to adapt to different situations and able to accept and understand different cultures. I am curious and when I travel the thing I like the most is to live the city-not only visiting museums or palaces, but also exploring the hidden corners of that city, sitting in a café, tasting all the typical dishes and having a chat with locals.
I always look forward to meeting new people and exploring new places-cheers!
