About Me

CURRENT MISSION

I'm moving to Liverpool for the next two years to do an MA called Reading in Practice which is about literature and bibliotherapy. I plan to do a lot of volunteering with homeless charities and reading groups and anything else that comes along and I want to lend a hand.
I'd like to have couchsurfers, hopefully I can it depends on where I'm renting.
I'm getting a bike soon and I'm looking forward to exploring the city by bicycle.
I speak A2 spanish and want to keep practicing so any spanish speakers who would like an intercambio de idioma get in touch.

ABOUT ME

I'm interested in politics, food, books, people, alcohol now and then.
