She was born in Fairfield, Pennsylvania, in a very rural area. Her house, which used to be a "bed & breakfast", is surrounded by mountains, forest, farms, fields...<br />
She comes from a really big family: she has two brothers, four sisters, one niece and one nephew. She also has a dog called Luna, which is a BorderCollie and Australian Shephard Mix.<br />
Lydia is good at languages, and she speaks English, a bit of Spanish and she used to speak Slovak.<br />

<br />
<br />
She went to Hood College in Maryland and studied "Global Studies". She chose that degree because she wanted to become more aware of problems we have nowadays such as politics, refugees´ crisis, migration...<br />
There were just 1,400 students at her college. University in the USA is different from here. For example, when students go to University there, they usually stay and live in the campus during all the degree, while in Spain it is more common to live at home and then go to University as if it was at school.<br />

<br />
Her favourite hobbies are going hiking and watching movies, especially about adventures. She also likes reading, watching sports, playing badminton, going out with friends and listening to music. She likes rock and roll and electronic music. However, she hates country music and rap. The book and film she likes the most is "Pride and Prejudice"<br />

<br />
She is willing to work with us, and she expects us to improve our language. I think I´m going to learn a lot with her this year, and I´m really looking forward to start!<br />

<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Lydia is going to be our new English assistant. She is from Fairfield, Pennsylvania and she has a really nice American accent. She´s 22 years old and this is the second time she has come to Spain.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">She comes from a big family as she has 4 sisters and 2 brothers. She has also a dog called Luna. But space is not a problem for her as she lives in an old bed and breakfast house, with at least 12 rooms!</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">She studied global studies in the Hood College and she wasn´t in a sorority.</span><br />

<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> Her hobbies are reading, hanging out with friends and she really likes to hike. Lydia decided to study global studies as she wanted to be more aware of the world. She has travelled to many countries like Poland, Hungary, Italy, Spain (Seville), South Korea, Czech Republic and when she was 16 she got an scholarship for studying</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">1 year in Slovakia. </span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">In conclusion, in my opinion Lydia is a very good teacher and assistant. I would like to know more about her as she is from another country and has different traditions.</span><br />
