Marina grew up in Wales; but when her parents split up she left her home town to live in Greece with her father when she was 16. When I was living in Wales I did have a good time, it was only during the last year I didnt care for it anymore and thats when I decided to go to Greece After completing her international baccalaureate, an 18-year-old Marina returned home two years later to live with her mum. It was there that she worked for two months in a petrol station in Ross-on-Wye. In Ross there were no jobs, but apparently the petrol station paid the best, so she went there, did all the shifts she could, saved up all her earnings and finally made the move to London.
