I speak English, I can talk about the weather, food, travel arrangements, people's kids and tourist attractions in French and Spanish, and I can read a menu and almost shop in Dutch and German, although it takes a lot of embarrassed smiling too!

I think it's a tie between the rainbows on the semi-frozen niagara falls, the view of Mont Blanc from the Aguille Rouge in the incredibly hot sunshine, and watching lizards hunting on the US Virgin Isles. I've been pretty lucky!

And this trip, I think the impromptue Flamenco night in the Spanish bar in a Dutch city (and I've never seen the bar open since...) gets the prize.

I'm three quarters way through an MSc in Healthcare Management and leadership, and still sulking that they made me come home from the Netherlands after my three month placement there. When I am not studying or travelling, I drink a lot of coffee. Before that, I lived in Massachusetts for two years, working with disabled adults, Essex UK for two years working with excluded children, and spent four years before that in Edinburgh studying psychlogy. I love second hand bookshops and eating good food. And, unfortunately, most of my foreign trips end with me trying to work out how on earth to get the stuff I've bought home...
