""She taught me how to drive through roundabouts, when to exit,""
""Cat's been so helpful. And yeah, I think now I've come back I feel really settled, found my footing and have a place, have a car, know where I'm going. That's been really nice to come back and feel like I'm settled.""
""I definitely told her just to follow the flow of traffic. [It's] not that hard to follow the flow, which is true,""

Naomi Girma moved from NWSL side San Diego Wave to Chelsea in a world‑record $1.1 million transfer in January. She encountered non-football challenges adapting to British life, notably learning to navigate roundabouts. Teammate Catarina Macario taught Girma when to exit and how to follow the flow of traffic. Girma described feeling settled after several months, finding a place, a car and knowing where she is going. Macario, who has been in London since joining Chelsea from Lyon in 2023, provided practical driving tips and broader settling-in support that helped Girma acclimate.
