  • Fun along the way!

    I have been listening to Maria and Rory for 3 months, and it was fascinating. They literally became a family for me! And yesterday, while I was in a taxi for my IELTS exam, I turned on this podcast, and it definitely made me relax a bit.

    Today I received the results and understood that... I would miss Maria and Rory :( Thank you guys for the amazing job!
