About Lucy
Having run many residentials to France and Spain as a Head of Languages in a previous life (including several with Voyager School Travel), Lucy knows how important it is to get the details right in the planning of a residential. Lucy is passionate about promoting a love and respect of language learning and always had a spring in her step on her return from a trip.
