Hi, Iām Anna Moran. Iām a Britstralian from Leicester in the UK, now living in Perth in Western Australia.
I came to Australia in May 2011. I was 26 and I came here on a one year working holiday visa. I initially had no intention of staying in Australia and planned to get back to London to continue with my journalism career.
After seeing the opportunities and beautiful lifestyle I made the decision to stay a little longer.
During that time, I ended up having a mental breakdown which forced me to face many of my fears. Fortunately, it encouraged me to repair many broken relationships from my past.
Ten years later I have met a lovely Australian man and now that it looks like I could be here for a wee while longer, I have decided to produce a podcast about Brits living in Australia.
