Andrea Moncada is a political analyst based in Oxford. She was born in Peru, but by 7 had already lived in three different countries. Andrea says she knew even as a child that her life would take place abroad.

Now in her 30’s and expecting her first child, she feels very strongly about passing down her Peruvian heritage. In our conversation she details how her time in the U.S. as a young girl shaped her and how she ended up in the UK. Andrea also tells the story of the time she answered the door to a cop and had to translate for her parents.
