I left my hometown in Scotland at 18 and never returned. The type of work I have is only found in London so I had to move.

I miss knowing somewhere like the back of my hand. I miss having family all around and friends from school days.

But, I wouldn’t be the person I am now if I hadn’t moved. I wouldn’t earn anywhere near as much and I enjoy London life.

Absolutely not.

Lord no.

I grew up with so many women who never moved, married local losers, never advanced careers beyond minimum wage jobs at small local shops, and spend all their time with the same people they did when we were 12.

Nope, not one bit. Left Bristol for South Wales. Bristol is an overpriced and overhyped hell hole as far as I’m concerned!
