“Through books that I have read I have became fascinated by Great Britain when I was around 12 years old. Around that time I was also able to start discovering Britain. My mum took London which was also the most convenient place to fly to. Soon I discovered that true Britain lies outside of London. On my travels I have started discovering Britain by train. I wanted to see the countryside. That’s where I found what I was looking for. Around 2009 perhaps I first joined National Trust. I have been this “come and go” member since then. Not because I didn’t want to be a continuous member but because I live abroad and I have no way to direct debit my membership. Nevertheless since then I have made an effort to buy plane tickets every year, sometimes twice or three times a year to visit as many national trust places as I can. Today when I listen to national trust podcasts it brings me back to these magical feelings that I feel when I visit national trust is places. It’s like, I can sort of, be there every week, whereas normally I wouldn’t be able to. I simply wanted to say: thank you, for bringing the magic to me through the borders of the world.”
