Hello, hi :) My name is Rebecca, a postgraduate student from South Africa who's indulging in a year of travelling in and around Europe before plunging back into Academia/the working world. I like to think of myself as being curious, grounded and easy-going. I have an postgraduate Honours degree in English Literature, but have dabbled in psychology, anthropology, linguistics, drama and environmental geographical sciences along the way. I think the cross-pollination of ideas is so important. I love learning from people and sharing stories. I could spend hours drifting through book shops, art museums, galleries and watching people in public spaces. Theater outings, jazz, live music and film screenings are always a treat. Dancing to Afro-Funk and Disco is my absolute best. I also love cooking , especially with things plucked straight from the garden. Lush forests walks. Mountain hiking. Grassland meandering. Lakeside lounging. Dust. Rocks. Desert. The ocean too. Bliss. I recently completed a TEFL course so that I can travel and teach English around the world before doing my Masters. I wanted to see a bit of Europe too, so I'm currently au pairing and doing some English tutoring just outside of Paris. Using this time to reflect and write for myself.
