This week Jillian van Raalte, who has lived in several different countries, share two of her experiences - ‘Arriving in New Zealand’ and ‘Memories of Kandy in Sri Lanka’. Write your Story is a series of stories, written and narrated by their authors. These "new" authors bring us a story they have put together recently and share with us all. Play Episode
