🎙️ My Journey to Dual Citizenship (Canada + UK) But Australia Is Still My First Love In this solo episode, I’m sharing a big personal milestone— I’ve officially become a Canadian citizen ! After years of navigating immigration paperwork, PR applications, and ceremony dates, I finally hold dual citizenship with the UK and Canada . I walk you through the entire journey—what it really takes, how much it costs, and what I’ve learned along the way. But that’s only half the story. I also take a nostalgic trip back to Australia , the country that first lit the travel fire in me. From the moment I landed in Perth to the chaos of Christmas Eve/Day morning (early hours) to Boxing Day cricket in Melbourne, Australia, my first travel experience completely changed my perspective on the world. I discuss culture shock, the beauty of spontaneity, and how that experience set me on the path I’m still following today. To wrap things up, I share a bit about the future of Winging It —where I see the podcast going, how I want to evolve the solo and immersive episodes, and what I’m most excited to create for the second half of 2025. If you’re curious about moving to Canada, falling for a country you barely knew, or just want to hear honest stories from someone winging it through life and travel—this episode is for you.
