Neither here nor there: Liz's travels

Hi, I'm Liz! I am a languages tutor and a graduate of IPML French and Spanish from the University of Manchester. I created this blog to share my adventures abroad - as an English Language Assistant in Perpignan, studying French in Antibes and Avignon, studying Spanish in Salamanca, and studying Spanish and Galician in Vigo. All photos are mine unless otherwise stated. If you use them, please credit Elizabeth Gibson and link back to this blog. Thanks!
