My 3 Wishes: for the pandemic to end, to visit my Spanish family and see my friends.

Moving to the UK

  • The best places I have visited in the UK are London and Edinburgh. 
  • What I like about the UK is the language, culture and people. 
  • What I miss most about Spain is my Spanish family, my friends, my house, the food and the weather. 
  • My favourite food is Spanish omelette and olives.

Hobbies and lockdown life

  • My hobbies are dancing, reading books, learning different languages, learning
    different dances, foods from other cultures. 
  • During lockdown I have been studying, watching films to improve the language, dancing, learning new desserts recipes, speaking with my Spanish family and friends.

Culture Bazaar 2020

In the dance carousel performance, I enjoyed learning about different cultures (foods, dances etc), meeting wonderful people, to have the opportunity of forming a young group and performed our own choreography that we made with a lot of effort and which I enjoyed a lot. Thank you Saj and Tina for their effort and for the fabulous Dance Carousel.
