Push yourself outside of your comfort zone and experience more of the world.

Growing up in Shrewsbury, a small town on the Welsh border, has taught me to never take life for granted. I lived there for nineteen years and I realised what a great place this was to grow up as soon as I moved away.

I lived in Birmingham for three years, studying Business and Management at Aston University, and I loved it. New friends, new places and new experiences, I never grew tired of the city. But it taught me a lot. I lived in London for a year as part of my course, which was also eye opening. Both of these cities taught me a lot about who I was and where I wanted to go, I loved both of them.

When I graduated I travelled around Thailand for a month, and having never been that far from home before, I knew it would be different, but not as different as it was. The culture is amazing, it never failed to shock me on many occasions whilst I was exploring the country. One day I’ll visit again, but not before I’ve experienced other places, which I hope will open my eyes even further.

Exploring keeps your mind alive and your heart longing for more.
