The phrase “experience of a lifetime” is often overused, and risks bordering on being cliché. It is, however, the perfect way to describe my time at the Global Undergraduate Awards (GUA) in Dublin, Ireland at the start of November this year.

I had the honour and privilege of being invited to GUA’s 2023 Summit as the global winner in the classical studies and archaeology category. My initial reason for submitting to the awards was not actually to win a prize.
