I study Spanish and Portuguese and a bit of Catalan at uni so these help me do what I love and get around the world. My motto is work hard play hard to make sure you can do you want in life, like working ridiculously hard half the year and travelling for the other half!
There's nothing I love more than travelling and seeing new places, being in far-off spots of natural beauty and meeting new people.
