There was a young woman, who at the age of 18, decided that it was time for a change. It wasn’t just any old little change, it was life changing, brave and a bit scary. It meant living behind her family, her friends and everything she knew. It meant moving across the world to another country where she knew no-one to fulfil her lifelong dream.
