Managing Director responsible for website and business development

My degree was in Italian and History of Art at Edinburgh University and I graduated in 2008 having spent my Third Year Abroad in the mesmerising city of Florence! I studied at the university there and also worked on Time Out's Florence guidebook. Planning a year abroad, living in a foreign country and finding a relevant career are all important steps for any language student but there wasn't a definitive source of information when I set out, which is why I decided to create ThirdYearAbroad.com - to help language students, their parents and whoever else might be interested in spending some time abroad. So whether you're in the planning stages, breathing in foreign air or just back from far, far away, I hope you find ThirdYearAbroad.com useful and informative! And do email me at This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it with your ideas for the site.

I graduated from Bristol University in 2008, having studied French and Spanish. I decided to spend my Third Year Abroad in Paris and Buenos Aires in Argentina. I then went to Mexico, Puebla, to work as a language assistant once I'd graduated from Bristol. Having gone through setting up camp abroad three times now, I want to help others make their choices as smoothly as possible. If there's one thing I learnt from my year abroad, it's to come prepared! I hope ThirdYearAbroad.com answers all your questions, doubts and reservations - send us a quick email if you have any questions or worries about your year abroad.

Su-Lin Tan, Contributing Writer

I graduated from Central Saint Martin's in 2004 where I did Media Studies. I'm really passionate about writing, but by far and away the best decision I ever made was to pack my bags and jet off to sunny Singapore for an editorial internship at a leading fashion and beauty magazine! I recommend spending some time abroad as it really is an eye-opening experience and you'll come back having had amazing and unique experiences! I now contribute to ThirdYearAbroad.com as I can write about what life is really like on the other side of the ocean, and show that there's so much more to the world than what's within these four walls!

I am currently studying English Literature at Cardiff University, and I'm passionate about writing. When I graduate, I'm planning to complete a ski season in France, before entering the world of journalism. Contributing to ThirdYearAbroad has given me a fantastic insight into working and studying in a foreign country, and I now feel fully prepared for when I decide to travel overseas! I hope ThirdYearAbroad is just as informative for you, but do email us if you have any further questions or ideas for the site.
