      I think my life so far has been very good so I don’t think there is anything I would change to be honest, I think I would like to have travelled more when I was younger and perhaps taken more classes in engineering when I was a student as well, as I think that would have been very helpful in some of my research. Otherwise though I think everything has been pretty good!

      I don’t think I would change anything about my life. I would have liked to have worked abroad when I was younger. But I don’t think I would have changed anything.

      I’m very satisfied with my life so far and I don’t think I would change anything. I’m excited to see what comes next in my life and career!

      It’s interesting that LauraAnne and Katy both mentioned travelling/working abroad because living & working abroad was something I definitely wanted to experience – it has been tough at times but one of the best things I have done.

      Whilst it’s never too late, I would say for most people it is probably easier to travel/live/work abroad for a short time when you are young e.g. through a university exchange, gap year or early in your career before you get a permanent job, buy a house, have kids etc.
