Based in Oxford, UK

“Oxford has an academic atmosphere and beautiful surroundings. I enjoy walking through the parks and along the river that runs through the city centre. In my spare time, I enjoy crocheting and practicing yoga. I sometimes attend classes and community events related to these activities, which have helped me connect with the local community and meet new people. ”
