ABOUT ME

Hi, I'm Roy (or Rosanna if 'Roy' is too confusing and male). I'm a wannabe language teacher, student of French and Psychology and currently a bit of a wanderer. At the moment I'm studying in Durham, UK and planning to run away to somewhere in South America after summer to teach English. I'm pretty open-minded and am interested in anything and everyone anyone has to talk to me about. I enjoy great friendships, both new and old; adventures; bad jokes and a good old cuppa.

Salut! Moi, je m'appelle Roy (ou Rosanna, si tu trouves que 'Roy' est un peu bizarre et masculin). Je rêve de devenir professeure de langue et je suis actuellement etudiante du français et de la psychologie. En ce moment, je suis un peu voyageuse. J'étudie à Durham, UK et je prévois d'aller en Amérique du Sud l'année prochaine pour enseigner l'anglais. Je suis assez ouverte d'ésprit et je m'intérèsse aux idées et les connaissances de tout le monde. J'aime des grands amitiés (nouvelles ou vielles), des aventures; des blagues bêtes et sûrtout, toujours un tasse de thé!

Interests

I am driven by learning; stuff in general fascinates me. I also love to work with young people and to be a part of their learning. I have an ongoing love affair with painting and art. I love to run and trek; surprisingly enough, even to myself, to challenge myself physically, despite the fact that at school I was the awkward kid who was scared of the ball.

I live for long summer days in the sun (or even the rain) - and even for the sweaty, disgusting pulse of the audience at festivals or crowds in new places. I'm also finding I'm living for the hard work in the meantime, and the discovery that comes from constantly being in motion - going new places, learning new things, constantly becoming acquainted with the people that life collides me with, and by extension, with the people that they (and I) are becoming. Music and light gives it all colour. It's a great world to be in - I'm pretty much interested in just that really, the world. And the people in it.

(Whimsy trip over.)
