The UK will always feel like home. I was born in Canterbury, grew up in Hampshire on the south coast, studied at university in Southampton and spent seven years living in London before moving to Australia. Over the years, I’ve explored so much of the UK and Ireland, from road trips through the Northern Irish countryside and coastal escapes in Cornwall to working at the Edinburgh Fringe and spending summers at my grandma’s house in Broadstairs.
Although I now call Australia home, I return to the UK every year to visit family, discover new places and revisit old favourites.
