Flick Hemming here, a bubbly French and Italian 4th year, obsessed with Tiramisu, and head over heels for Inspector Montalbano. My favourite travel destination is probably Lake Como, but fighting for the place of my top Italian city are Padua and Naples.

As for sporting preferences, I tend to lean towards the martial arts, the running in the rain and the inhaling of Aperol Spritz variety. I learnt a lot and really enjoyed editing on the Linguist team during my year abroad, so I couldn’t resist running for another year and actually getting to work face to face with everyone this time!

I’m really looking forward to creating some fab new content in the year ahead so watch this space for all things foodie and Italian!
