Nurse 'swapped skyscrapers for cute petite houses'
Home is where the warmth is for Lakshme Vasanthan who says she has found "a feeling of warmth" while living in Somerset.
The Indian nurse lived in Abu Dhabi for 11 years before relocating to Taunton where she says she has swapped skyscrapers for "cute little petite houses".
We've worked with the NHS in Somerset to hear from several people who've moved thousands of miles to connect health with home.
In this conversation, Lakshme Vasanthan talks to Izzy A'isha about moving from India to Abu Dhabi and then to Somerset to work as an infection prevention and control nurse.
