About Me

Name: Hillary

Age: 21

Birthday: February 11th

Gender: Female

Location: Malta (You know, that little dot of an island that barely shows on the map in the middle of the Mediterranean…’tis grand!)

Occupation: University Student reading for an MA in Conflict, Security and Development at King's College (London)

Languages spoken: English, Maltese, French and Italian

Email: [email protected]

Interests: Writing, Reading, Acting, Dancing, Music (play the piano / cello/ acoustic guitar / drums myself), Traveling, Art, Chilling with friends, Movies, Journalism, Theatre etc.

Personal Info: Here I am, twenty-one year old Hillary Briffa reaching out to you from the sunny island of Malta. I could tell you of my love for creativity in all its forms – how words consume me, music transforms me, dancing frees me, and on and on, yet where would that leave the joy of meeting a stranger and earning a friend?

Rather I’ll tell you of the delight I find in traveling, how the colour orange makes me happy, how I’m a night person to the extent that sleep is a rarity, of my opinion that the poet John Keats’ letters to Fanny Brawne are beauty personified (‘I almost wish we were butterflies and liv’d but three summer days – three such days with you I could fill with more delight than fifty common years could ever contain’), the fact that my hair is curly and my eyes are brown and I do my best to smile at the world.

I could try to tell you many things, but I find it difficult to distil my essence into a mere paragraph without sounding lame. Really, I’d just like to say that I love people, I love creativity and writing and I think through swaps I can combine the two and no longer have to open my mailbox to emptiness :)

Comment: Wow! I thoroughly enjoyed the music video by Passion Pit. I am rarely moved by a music video. This is a song and video I will certainly add to my collection. Thank you so much :) LOVE Dry the River's sound. Their harmonies are beautiful, indeed.

Comment: Very nice Christmas tree! It was neat to see the cradle next to it. In my family, we put the nativity (with the manger) under our tree

Comment: I'm rating a 5 even though I don't believe your swap met swap requirements. It states - *"Send them a picture of your whole tree and a few pictures of select ornaments."* You just sent one picture of your tree only, although it was a pretty tree :)
