Profile
I’m a British student, originally from the home of The Beatles and football: Liverpool. I’m taking a year abroad in Lyon following two years studying French and Philosophy at the University of Oxford. Here in Lyon, I am most often found eating cheese, drinking wine or obsessing over fashion- that is, when I’m not teaching English at two primary schools in Vénissieux, or writing articles. I’m joining This is Lyon to share my experiences of living in Lyon as a 20 year old woman.
