ABOUT ME

I am a British student who is living abroad for a year - first in Paris for 5 months (August-December 2013) followed by Buenos Aires, Argentina for 6. This is because I study Modern Languages at university, and so have a compulsory third year abroad to improve by knowledge and fluency of the languages I study. I'm so excited by this opportunity and for all the people I will be able to meet and places I will be able to see!
Languages are my passion. I currently speak Spanish, French and Catalan (as well as English) and I really want to learn Portuguese and Italian!
