West Midlands, UK, close to the rock caves that are rumored to have inspired Tolkien's "The Hobbit." She completed her BA in English & Creative Writing in 2012 and spent several years as an international school teacher in Beijing, where she experimented with a range of VPNs. She is now settled in the Parisian suburbs and is a fan of ‘80s films, classic English literature and can usually be found with a cup of tea in hand. <div class="author-modal-last text-small"><strong>Last published on Cloudwards:</strong></div> <ul class="text-small is-style-highlight"> <li><a href="https://www.commquer.com/firestick-vs-chromecast/">Firestick vs Chromecast in 2024: Streaming Hardware Showdown</a></li> <li><a href="https://www.commquer.com/stream-nhl-games/">How to Stream NHL Games in 2024: Watch NHL Games Online From Anywhere</a></li> <li><a href="https://www.commquer.com/where-to-watch-the-godfather/">How & Where to Watch The Godfather: Streaming the Movies in 2024</a></li> </ul> </div> <script async src="https://www.googletagmanager.com/gtag/js?id="></script> <script> window.dataLayer = window.dataLayer || []; function gtag(){dataLayer.push(arguments);} gtag('js', new Date()); gtag('config', ''); </script> <input type="checkbox" id="show-search" hidden name="show-search"> <div class="search-bar"> <form role="search" method="get" class="search-form" action="https://www.commquer.com/"> <input type="search" id="serach" class="search-field" placeholder="Search …" value="" name="s" /> <input type="submit" class="search-submit btn" value="Search" /> <label for="show-search" class="close-search btn btn-secondary"> <svg role="img" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" viewBox="0 0 352 512" class="svg-inline--fa"><path fill="currentColor" d="M242.72 256l100.07-100.07c12.28-12.28 12.28-32.19 0-44.48l-22.24-22.24c-12.28-12.28-32.19-12.28-44.48 0L176 189.28 75.93 89.21c-12.28-12.28-32.19-12.28-44.48 0L9.21 111.45c-12.28 12.28-12.28 32.19 0 44.48L109.28 256 9.21 356.07c-12.28 12.28-12.28 32.19 0 44.48l22.24 22.24c12.28 12.28 32.2 12.28 44.48 0L176 322.72l100.07 100.07c12.28 12.28 32.2 12.28 44.48 0l22.24-22.24c12.28-12.28 12.28-32.19 0-44.48L242.72 256z" class=""></path></svg> </label> </form> </div> </body></html>
