The Start of Wander
In December 2016, I finished school at the age of 17, with the expectation from others to know what I want to do for the rest of my life. I thought I knew—I applied to start education at university in 2017. Half way through my first semester (and still shy of 18), I had a feeling that maybe it wasn't the right time or course for me. I started to search for other options. I had always wanted to travel and see the world. I found an option for me... to become an Au Pair. For those who don't know, an Au Pair is practically a live-in nanny who also wants a cultural exchange. I decided that in 2018, I would venture to London and pursue the job of an Au Pair.

Black, White, Jewish, Polish, Greek, homosexual, straight, bisexual, and transgender. I apologise if I have missed any key groups, but the list is endless. I am a biomedical second year student from Manchester, I'm 21 years old and love writing, so I'm going to tell you about my experience.

"Keep an Eye on Your Kidneys!"
My journey to Georgia, the country not the state, began almost a decade earlier with a treatment for a short film. Being interested in religious history, I dreamed up a character whose obsession with Saint Simeon Stylites leads him to climb a cellphone tower to live as a modern day stylite. As expected, his community reacts strongly. After some initial work, I set it aside.
