Meet the Masters

 

Vanessa, Kittiya and Tahseen are international students currently completing a masters degree in Barcelona.

All 3 are involved with the Masters Lounge – an organisation created by students for students, with the aim of helping each other to make the most out of their life in Barcelona. It’s fair to say they’re a pretty international bunch....
