My name is Christina, I’m 32 years of age and I’m an American. I am currently waiting for my Tier 4 Visa approval to come back from the lovely, wonderful (are you reading this, Visa people?) folks in New York to decide that I’m worthy of studying in Scotland. I also like long walks in […]
This week I have had two whole days off work which is a rarity these days and so I decided to make the most of it and be as productive as possible! My boyfriend and I compiled a list of things we want to do and places we want to eat at during the summer and throughout […]
