Description
Hi there! Ciao a tutti!
I'm Conor, from London, and am currently studying at university.
I am studying Philosophy and Italian at the University of Oxford, and am starting my year abroad this year. I'm really looking forward to moving to Italy for much of the next year, to improve my language skills, my understanding of Italian culture, and to meet wonderful new people! I can't wait to explore everything Italy has to offer.
