About

I have lived at short intervals in the United Kingdom and Ireland, getting to know a culture different from my family. I am always willing to discover new places, their customs and their people. Thanks to English, the doors to a world to discover have been opened wide; even wanting to learn new languages: French (I'm still at a basic level - beginner) and Chinese (basic level). Furthermore, I am always willing to help any foreigner (questions or places to visit, such as activities to do) who wants to travel to Spain, especially if it is to the north!
Interests: travel, photography, read, meet new people, music

Occupation

I am Student.

Brighton, England, England

Jul 2016 - Aug 2016

Brighton, England, England

I was studying English for a whole month, together with a lovely host family. I ended up falling in love with the city, even more than London.
Brighton Pier, the beach, everyday life...
There were a lot of people sleeping on the street, which broke my heart.

Kilcoole, Leinster, Ireland

Aug 2014 - Dec 2014

Kilcoole, Leinster, Ireland

I was with a host family for four months, attending the local institute as a foreign student. At the same time, I met people from different parts of the world and had the opportunity to discover Ireland, a country that found a greater place in my heart every day. In short, my second home.
I volunteered at the thrift store for two weeks. The best people I met in my life.
I love Ireland. I never tire of saying it. The people, the culture, its history... They occupy a privileged place in my heart, they are like my distant family. I felt at home, but away from home.
It's a small town and everyone knows everyone. I had a problem with my family and the situation was hard for me, but in general, a good place to start getting to know Ireland.

City of London, England, England

Jan 2012 - Dec 2017

City of London, England, England

I have family in London, so visits to that city are continuous. I know the city almost like the back of my hand, but I don't like it as a place to live. It's very busy, very fast.
The fusion of different cultures, all of them coexisting in the same city.
The speed with which life develops, so fast that you barely enjoy it. It even became stressful... You could see that pressure when you entered the Tube, people crowding, in a hurry. And when you left the subway, people pushed you, dragged you from one place to another. Very stressful.
