about me

Hello everyone! My name is Sara.

I am a final year student in Medicine at Newcastle University  I have truly loved my time in medical school and I have grown so much thanks to the wonderful tutors and patients.

Originally Italian, I have lived the first 18 years of my life in the North West part of my country, first in Milan, then in a small town called Varese, near the Swiss border, before moving to England just at the start of university.

I chose to study abroad because I fell in love with England even before seeing it. I had a powerful gut feeling that I wanted to attend and English university, that I could fit in that rainy, proud, stubborn, resilient island. 

What else? Here's some random facts about me:

-I have a younger sister

- I love running, it is a huge part of my life and my identity. 

-I have been running since I was 12
- I have completed 4 marathons: my best time is 3.31 which was also a BQ.
-I have recently started triathlon and competed in my first sprint distance

-my best training buddy so far is my mum.

-i love reading and am a massive daydreamer. 

-i am curious and love research because it allows me to explore the world a bit more in depth

-one of my dreams is to write a novel someday.
-i love travelling

-i love the mountains in the summer and the seaside during the winter.

-i love baking and cooking: living alone has allowed me to try new dishes and to do more:)

-i love music and i believe it makes our life so much better.

Why the blog is called "greenteaandrunningshoes": because these are the 2 things that mostly help me relax and count my many blessings. If I can go out for a run and come home to a warm shower and a cup of tea, especially if green, then I am content.
