I'm studying French and English Literature at Reading University, currently in my second year of study, about to embark on my year abroad as an English Language Assistant! I absolutely love languages, one of my life aims is to be a polyglot (multi-lingual), which includes learning modern and classical languages (currently taking Latin, but would love to learn other ancient languages like Greek and Hebrew). At the moment I'm thinking about getting into translation for a career.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

On my year abroad (starting Sept 2016) I plan to do as much travelling as possible, and meet loads of cool interesting people!
