About Me

Hi, I´m Kathleen.

I was born in the summer of 1980, in a little kingdom called Belgium.

My love for the English language led me to the Emerald Isle, where I spent 3 months teaching the most adorable 8-year-olds of Belfast. Already on my first day there I met a Spaniard with enchanting blue eyes. So there I was, torn between hispanic charm and my pluviofilia. Guess who won.

Since 2008 I´ve been living in Valencia, where the fruit is tastier than anywhere else in Europe and the summers are (at least for a polar bear like me) unbearable. But the rest of the year, to quote All Saints, I wouldn´t wanna be anywhere else but here.

Kathleen, it’s easier than you think. I’m also still learning and I’m eagerly looking forward to reading you!

Hi Kathleen, this is Ana. you “classmate” from the Creative Writing )) My blog is https://uselessdiaries.wordpress.com/ It’s mostly a storage of what I post on FB and most of it in Russian, but I started to post stuff in English after the course too. Hope to do more of that.

  Hey Ana, your site looks beautiful! I´m looking forward to reading more of your stories! I´ve never seen such long texts in Russian, but I do know the letters a bit from watching “Маша и Медведь” with my daughter (that is such a great cartoon) Glad to know we can stay in touch this way 🙂
