I am a third-year Politics and International Relations Student at Cardiff University. I am fluent in French and am also studying Spanish alongside my politics and International relations degree. I'm originally from Canada but I love living in Wales (although I could do with a little less rain :). I love blogging about student life, sustainability, and what it is like to be an international student in the UK.
