I could see myself working a few years in London and then transferring to somewhere in China, maybe Shanghai, and improving my language skills to use in my career. Coming back into final year, I felt like I was eager to get back into my studies and just do the best I can. You come out of your time abroad with this sense that you can handle most things.

The main thing I’d say is that studying abroad is completely different from just travelling. You experience everything from a student perspective, with people who are all in the same boat. It’s a unique and special opportunity. I went to China knowing almost nothing beyond what I’d read in the news. I accepted that maybe I wouldn’t enjoy it or maybe it would be too different to acclimatise, but it’s one of the best decisions I’ve ever made, and I’ve got some amazing memories to last a lifetime.”
