About me!

I'm Zoe. I'm 20 years old, and a second year history student at university. I'm not going to disclose which university I am at, but I'll give you a clue - it's recently been documented as having the lowest contact hours for my course out of all the uni's in the country (because obviously the DailyMail is the most reliable news source, second only to Yahoo answers). I'm an enthusiastic and creative individual, and put my all into everything. When I'm not in my one lecture a week I enjoy hitting the gym, cooking and messing around with friends. Oh yeah, and watching Hollyoaks. I'm passionate about culture - I love art, historical buildings, and the countryside. I thrive off the uncool things in life: being over organized, arranging stationery (don't worry, I'll do a blog on my new Lamy pen) and reading the DailyMail.

Before university, I completed the International Baccalaureate, despite having dyslexia, with a respectable score of 39. I can safely say that the final year of IB has been more difficult than the first two years of uni. If any of you out there are struggling with it, and probably procrastinating right now, then drop me a line and I'll reassure you! 

I am grateful to the hospitality industry for providing me with the means to buy cocktails, clothes and chocolate muffins. Having worked at Highclere Castle (yes, that’s Downton Abbey to you) for four years, I am sympathetic to all you waiters and waitresses out there dealing with the constant trauma of giving the skinny woman that teacup of hot water, just because she brought her own green- tea bag. Consequently, I've been to hundreds of weddings, eaten thousands of scones but yet still can't enjoy a cup of tea. Currently I am   working for two different national catering companies, so I'm sure I will have a lot to say about many problems of grumpy customers!

I love travelling, and have been lucky enough to visit some of the most beautiful places in the world. I have been inspired by my jet setting family members to do the same, which is why I have set my hopes on the bright lights of San Francisco. I'll probably break an arm and a leg in the process of getting there, but I can't wait for the best year of my life. After work, we are intending to do some travelling round the states. I will love to hear from any of you that may have advice on travelling or working overseas, as every little piece of advice will go a long way!

If you want to contact me, then send me a private message on twitter @pathtosanfran, or email me on pathtothebrightlights@gmail.com and I'll get back to you ASAP. I look forward to hearing from you all!
