Celine Sturiale: France, England and preparing for a Marathon

This week I'm back with another Interview! This time with my friend and colleague Celine. Celine and I have worked together for a few years now and we also live in the same town. When I first moved to the town Celine was always on hand to help me discover what the area had to offer. They were also a key factor in my first steps on the road to being healthier with running! I wanted to have a chat with Celine and understand her story, especially how she tackled the London Marathon in 2023!

Off Topic: The Battle With UK Visa Costs

It’s almost time for my wife and I to renew her Spouse Visa, two and a half years on their current visa have flown by and while we always knew the renewal was coming and have passed the process before with no issue before, we are now, much like a number of couples, faced with a much more expensive application overall that has us trying to raise our savings where we can.

Off Topic: The Travels That Made Me: Berlin, Germany

I’d always fancied going to Germany because it’s so close to the UK and the flight is super short so I thought why not make this the first part of my trip? It’s funny really, Europe was always so close but save for a school trip to France and one trip to Disneyland Paris I had never really ventured to what was essentially on my doorstep.

Interviews with YOU!: Cristina Carion, Design and feeling like you belong

This week I got the chance to ask an old friend of mine a few questions about her life in the UK as well as briefly touch upon her 'home country' of Macau and her experiences in the world of design. Cristina is a reason I caught the bug of wanting to travel after I had the privilege of traveling to Macau with her after high school and in a way, thanks to her and Macau I continued to travel and ultimately ended up working in Australia and meeting my Wife!
