I (Patrick) am a 26 year old English Teacher and writer of fiction and poetry.
I (Vanessa) am a 24 year old biology student and about to start my PhD.

We are big lovers of literature (English, French and German), poetry, films (BIG David Lynch fans), language learning, dancing, cycling, hiking, travelling, guitar/music.
