Day 90, Lia and Coimbra

Lia’s mother is Russian and her dad is Georgian. But she has lived in Portugal since she was very little. I know her through Dato - their dads are brothers - and Lia has been my student since 2020. Lia is super intelligent and always a joy to talk to. She has taught me so much about growing up in Portugal. Lia is in her second year at University of Coimbra (the university with the Harry Potter library - we saw it but no photos allowed) studying economics. She has two first languages - Russian and Portuguese - and speaks beautiful English. She was fascinated by the work both Hope and Mark do and peppered them with lots of questions. Lia planned a full day’s itinerary for us and loved showing us beautiful Coimbra. We loved the opportunity to see it through her eyes.Lue lisää
