Pretend

Celina & Emma

We’re Celina and Emma, previously known as 'Pretend Parisiennes', two Aussies who packed up our lives to explore the world and now find ourselves back in Melbourne. Join us as we talk about living abroad, moving back, and building a new sense of belonging in a familiar place. From navigating identity to pretending our way through life’s twists and turns, Pretend is for anyone who’s ever felt like they’re just figuring it out as they go.
