Hello there!
Enchantée. I was born and raised in Britain by my English and Norwegian parents, but right now I live at the foot of the breathtaking Swiss Alps in the French-speaking city of Lausanne. I spend a lot of time travelling, and my friends and family never seem to know where I am! I met my Prince Charming during my first visit to Australia, and we've been crazy in love ever since.
I love art, but primarily I'm a languages person. I'm in my third year of a Joint Honours BA in French and Italian at
Royal Holloway, University of London. At the end of last year, I finished an international relations internship for a renewable energy plant design company in the
Lombardy region of northern Italy.
Where have I been? Balearic Islands, Belgium, France, England*, Estonia, Germany, Greece, Italy*, The Netherlands, Norway, Russia, Sweden, Switzerland*, Vatican City
Africa: Egypt, Gambia, Kenya, Tanzania
Asia: China*, Cyprus, Hong Kong, Singapore, Thailand, United Arab Emirates (Dubai)
Oceania: Australia
North America: United States of America (New York)

I love it here. I've had some trouble with my studies (mostly an administrative mix-up between my university back in London and UNIL here) but it's beginning to sort itself out now, thank goodness. How're you?
