Daniela Idan – Languages

Heyy!! My name is Daniela I’m 19 years old. My major at Ryerson University is Languages and intercultural relations. A few of my favourite hobbies are reading, playing sports, baking, and travel. A fun fact about me I went on a life changing trip to La Pocatière, QC. The purpose of the trip was to learn French in a French speaking environment while doing fun activities to with new friends and conversing in only French. One of my favourite memories from this trip was my friend by accidentally spraining her ankle badly while climbing down a giant hill in the dark. Yes, it was a sad moment but, the story behind that memory is my favourite.
