While London might be the centre of the world for some, for Anya Kuvarzina, the bustling capital was too much.

Dreaming of a quieter life beside the sea, walking on sandy beaches and nipping down to the local village shop, the mother-of-one made the decision to uproot her life with her partner and move to Cornwall in 2021.

But the idyllic seaside town of Penzance quickly turned in to a nightmare for the art agent and illustrator.

Instead of beaches and quaint coffee mornings with new friends in local cafes, Anya found herself isolated and lonely.

Rather than expanding her horizons, she felt trapped, relying on a car to complete even the most mundane of daily tasks like the supermarket shop.
