New week, new Basque! Meet Naroa, another London Basque.
My name is Naroa and even if I was born in Bizkaia I moved to San Sebastian many years ago and I've lived there since then.
I came to London about three months ago. My two main purposes when I came here were to improve my English and get a job. I've been very lucky since I have the opportunity to both teach and learn at the same time: I'm working at an English school as a Spanish teaching assistant... and I'm loving it!
Besides, being Basque means a lot to me. I'm proud of being born in this Country and I think we've got a very especial and interesting culture. Furthermore, from my point of view is a pity that, in this case, most of English people (at least the ones I've come to meet) know very little about our culture. For that reason, I'd love to contribute in your project as it is a very good idea to share different ideas and make people be aware of the richness of our Country.
I'm looking forward to having my "Basque Week".

Week 3, Marti
Please give a warm welcome to our next contributor! It'll be very interesting to hear from an adopted Basque who loves the Basque Country just as much as we do.
Marti Buckley Kilpatrick is from Birmingham, Alabama and currently resides in San Sebastián, Spain. Brought there by her love of food, she divides her heart equally between the South of the US and Basque Country (although her stomach prefers the latter). She is a journalist, with work appearing in several national US publications, and a blog featured by CNN. She cooked for nearly two years under Alabama’s most celebrated chef. And now she’s a little bit of everything, working with Belle Chevre, a goat cheese company out of Alabama, BasqueStage, a program for young cooks in Basque Country, and various other projects, as long as there’s food involved. Non gogoa, han zangoa.

Week 2, Iker
Excited to meet our next contributor? I certainly am! Here we go:
Iker lives in Mexico and his Basque grandparents moved there during the civil war, he has tons of family in the Basque Country and visits regularly. He is a proud Basque and he'd like to tackle anything from Basque sports to Basque folklore during his week. Iker is a very international Basque, he's lived in many different countries and has family all over the world.
