About me: I grew up in London with my family and moved across the pond to go to
university about 3 years ago. Now I live in Morningside Heights,
studying to be a nurse (one more year!). My husband and I got married less than a year ago and we finally finished redecorating his old flat. it is the home i've always dreamed about and i couldn't be happier!!!
I still miss my Mum and Baba and all of my brothers and sisters (5 in
all) but I have plenty of cousins and old friends here to sit with over coffee or share recipes and advice. Plus who could be depressed when there is a new season of
American Idol quickly approaching?? :)
