Description
Hi, I'm a dual British and Canadian citizen currently taking a gap year to work, travel and improve my language skills before studying French and Spanish at Cambridge University, where I have a place. I love to visit new places and get immersed in the language and culture of the area, and am always up for learning new languages, as well as making new friends along the way. I'm a diligent and hard worker, able to deal with challenges efficiently, and I'm always excited to pick up and learn new skills! I'm a big fan of reading, music, playing piano, hiking and cycling, and love a good board game or a film in the evenings.
