Weather it’s finding a part time, managing expenses even planning a day trip around, in this community you will find the resources and people to help you out with each step forward. 

Join me to navigate the journey to the middle. Where me, a Master’s student in Marketing at the University of Bath, United Kingdom and also a start up owner of my own agency Evincio.

VOICES       OF
THE JOURNEY

All the members in the J2M community are known as Voices

Journey to the Middle (J2M) is a growing platform for international students navigating life, learning, and identity in a new country. We call every member of our community a Voice, acknowledging the uniqueness of each journey and the importance of hearing every story.

As Voices, we uplift one another. We document our challenges, celebrate small wins, and build meaningful connections that last beyond university life.
More than just a blog, J2M is a community, a resource, and a movement for anyone navigating the complex and lovely middle ground of being an international student.

1. Lifestyle

Life as an international student in the UK is about more than just studying. From managing budgets and cooking your first meals to exploring weekend getaways and discovering budget-friendly hacks, our lifestyle content is your guide to surviving student life.
We cover:

Whether you’re in your first week or your final term, we help you create a rhythm that feels like home, even when you’re miles away from it.

 

2. Growth

 
The Growth section is where we reflect on what we’ve learnt through our academic journey in the UK. Whether it’s a challenging group project, a marketing simulation, or a consulting brief, this section is where we share takeaways, strategies, and real-world applications from our studies.

It’s not about flaunting achievements; it’s about translating learning into value for both ourselves and others in the community. If you are curious about what the MSc project taught us beyond grades, this is the place to find out.

3. Networking


Networking is more than just making connections; it’s about building meaningful relationships that support your academic, professional, and personal journey. At J2M, we create space for international students to meet, collaborate, and grow through meetups, project partnerships, and peer-led discussions. Whether you’re new to Bath or already settled in, the right connection can shape your path forward.

4. Projects

 
We are planning to build some community led projects, which can help to enhance one’s professional experience in the UK
