I’ve recently moved to York from the West Midlands having graduated from Liverpool Hope University with a degree in English Literature. I am currently job hunting and getting involved with voluntary and charity roles around the city. I am loving living in York, the people, the pubs, the music scene, and the city’s many hidden gems!
