Auralee.R: My least fav dance style but one of my biggest successes whilst living in the States. This is the photoshoot that got me my big break 2 years ago as a dancer. Now, this chapter closes and a new one begins as I leave America behind and go back home to the UK. Thanks to all the amazing people I have worked with and those who know me personally, our friendships will never be lost.

Today is the day that I go back home to the UK. I'm leaving the heat of sunny LA and returning to the dreary rain of Manchester. 

Now I know what you are thinking:

Why the hell would you swap sun for rain?  Why the hell would you swap LA for Manchester? Why the hell would you choose the UK over the USA?

The answer to all of these is the same, family.

I miss my friends, my family and just everything really.

However, I won't be in Manchester for long as my brother, Marcus, has invited me to the Russian world cup with him and the England Football team. I used to help coach the Man Utd under-18 squad part-time so he managed to get me a job helping Gareth Southgate.

Right now, I'm in the airport waiting for my flight when my phone buzzed: it was Jesse.

"Hey Jess," I beamed through the phone.

"Hey, have you landed yet?" He asked

"Dude, I'm still in LAX" I giggled

I heard him laugh before replying:

"I'm joking, I just can't wait to meet you." I could hear the smile in his voice

Before I could reply, my flight was called for boarding.

"Sorry Jess, I have to go. I'll call you when I land and you can pick me up." 

"I'll be there! I'll see you soon" we said our goodbyes before hanging up.

I found my gate, handed over my ticket and went to board the plane. Once I found my seat, I pulled out my headphones and zoned out.

"England here I come," I whispered under my breath, just buzzing to return home.
