All the way from sunny California, Frances came to London to study French and Arabic at UCL. Enamoured by all aspects of culture, she finds herself stretching her wallet more than she should to travel incessantly. Accounts of her voyages can be found on her blog. Her aspirations as a writer lead Frances to dwell often on the boons of language as well as its inadequacies. She hates the sight of her own feet and wishes that she could do without sleep. She is also an avid practitioner of having a beer in the shower. See this spectacular world through her eyes on Instagram @francesium
