Background

Why Manchester and why languages?
I wanted to travel during the year abroad.
Year out
I spent 8 months in Brazil and 2 months in Cuba. Brazil was amazing, I loved every moment and spent 4 months travelling throughout the whole country.

I spent 4 years tour-leading in 10 countries throughout 3 continents. I have done a lot of travelling and have been to all continents bar Artic/Antarctica.
Where are you now?
I am now living and working in Canada, with a job in the Wine Industry. Languages have helped me as Canada is a bilingual country.
Do you still use your languages?
I used my languages for my freelance tour-guiding. It helps as people are always impressed and it looks good on your CV.
