I work in education, and spend most of my spare time chatting about history and/or food - and aspiring to marry the two. l love old photographs, even older buildings, silly facts and random music playlists. My favourite kind of day is when I put on my trainers and rucksack, and set off aimlessly to explore the lesser-known corners of a city.

I now divide my time between the UK and Sweden. I always feel a sense of stability and reassurance when pacing down the hill towards the small but vibrant centre of Canterbury, my home town. I am there at least four times a year. But I've also grown to love the space and light of Stockholm: there's nothing like a cycle along the water in this unique capital city to wake me up in the morning!

I feel lucky to live in two very different yet equally beautiful places.
