My name is Laura and I am one among the millions of Europeans living in the UK.
I am 28, and I am as European as one can get: Italian mother and Danish father, I was born in Italy but I have lived most of my adult life far from home: I moved to France as I was 16; then, thanks to the Erasmus project financed by the EU, I spent the third year of my undergraduate degree in Spain. I then decided to take my masters in the UK. The EU financed two of the projects I worked on since I graduated, respectively in India and Haiti. Now I work in the human rights sector in London.
As a young, privileged millennial I always took my freedom of movement for granted: I could always choose to move across continents without having to be preoccupied about visas or restriction.
