From Emma
The desire to explore the world around me is one that I have had as long as I can remember. I started studying geography in secondary school and have never tired of learning how our natural and built environments have evolved and how they influence our societies and cultures. Geography provides us with an understanding of an ever changing world and can help us find solutions to many of the challenges we may face in the future.
