Hey! I'm a final year international student from India. I love to travel, the past three years in the UK have been the experience of a lifetime. I aspire to work as a journalist after I graduate. I also work part-time at the university and help students with career-related queries. I love to write and share my university experience with others, and hope my blogs help you too :))
