Handle with dry hands, please! Vanessa Heng is an English teacher in NYGH. She grew up in a home filled with stories and poems, music and pictures, all of which probably shaped her sense of wonder. At the same time, other lands and other cultures fascinated her - and still do! - so she spent a fair amount of time learning other languages and travelling. She has spent summers in Canada, studied in the US and Italy, and spent a month exploring Argentina. On every journey, she packs books, music, writing paper and a fountain pen. She was told to write with one when she was ten years old and has used them ever since. She is obsessed with inks too. |
