About
Olivia is an aspiring poet, aged 15, an English girl living in Italy. Her most practiced hobbies are writing, reading and dancing (which she has been doing for 10 years now). When she's not violently writing poetry at 3 am she is probably re-watching Dead Poets Society (again!) or listening to The Smiths, drinking coffee and reading beside her 5 cats.
