Hello there fellow traveller! My name is Amelia and as of January 2nd, I am 23.

 

I grew up in rural Scotland, surrounded by mountains and lochs which may sound dreamy but after 18 years of rainy summers, my parents decided to make the move to Norfolk, England. Now, I'm surrounded by absolutely no hills or mountains but I have the broads and countless beaches on my doorstep!

​

 In 2018 I finished school at the ripe age of 17, packed my bags and moved to Brighton to study Media Studies at university. Why did I choose Brighton I hear you ask? Well, I grew up watching British Youtubers and seeing Zoella show off her glamorous life there definitely made me want to move there! Also...it was far away from everyone I knew so I felt like I could start this journey with a clean slate and I have never regretted it! Okay...maybe in my first year of university, I regretted it but we won't talk about that...let's just pretend it was only second and third year!

 

My course was amazing as it was all coursework and zero exams! It was here that my love for photography and documenting my life flourished and I loved experimenting with different forms of media, whether that was photography or cringey YouTube videos. When times were difficult, I found a lot of peace in taking a stroll to the beach and photographing the amazing Brighton sunsets.
