Where Did Josh Carrott Grow Up And Study?

I’ve followed Josh’s channel for years and have poked around interviews and his socials, so here’s the clearest picture I can give: Josh Carrott is British and grew up in the UK, but he hasn’t loudly publicized a single, specific hometown in the way some creators do. From bits and pieces in videos and festival panels, you can tell he’s very much from England rather than elsewhere in the UK, and his accent and cultural references point to that background. He’s kept a fair bit of his private life off-camera, which is totally understandable — a lot of creators shield early home details to keep a boundary between public and private life — so you won’t find a neat line in every bio that says “born in X, raised in Y.”

What is clearer is the arc of his education and early career: Josh studied in the UK at university level but has been relatively discreet about the exact institution and degree on public platforms. Instead of laying out his full academic transcript, he’s emphasized the skills and experiences that led him toward Korea — language interest, travel, and work abroad. After university, he moved to South Korea, spent time teaching English, and immersed himself in Korean culture. That move obviously shaped the whole project with his channel, because his on-the-ground experience living in Korea and meeting people there is what gives the content its authenticity and charm.

If you’re trying to pin down specifics like the exact town he grew up in or the exact university he attended, the best places to check are interviews, podcasts where he’s a guest, and his own social channels — he’s mentioned different life stages in Q&A videos and long-form interviews over the years. I’ve found that creators like Josh often sprinkle details across several interviews rather than summarizing them in a single spot, so a little digging across a few sources usually paints the full picture. His LinkedIn or a professional bio (if available) can also have the facts spelled out if he’s chosen to share them there.

I love how his path — somewhat private, a bit scattered in interviews, but clearly rooted in a strong curiosity for language and culture — mirrors a lot of us who ended up abroad after university: not a tidy origin story, but a real one. If you want, I can point out specific interviews or videos where he talks about moving to Korea or the early days of the channel; those clips are the most revealing about where he studied and why he made the leap overseas, and they’re fun to watch too.
