Natalia studied French, Spanish and Dutch Language with history and culture at the University of Sheffield, during which she had the opportunity to live, work and study in Valencia, Alicante and Toulouse.

A highlight of this year was being able to use the rail system to travel around and visit sites of cultural and historical importance such as Cartagena in Spain. She joined Kirker to combine her love of travel with languages and has travelled to a number of destinations including – most recently – a trip to Poland where she spent a week visiting Warsaw and Krakow with a particular highlight being the Wieliczka Salt Mines.
