brunch with Marisca Purcell

In this episode, I speak with Marisca, a South African based in Singapore who has had two very interesting trailing spouse experiences. Marisca talks really candidly about the challenges she has faced after being isolated from her career in science after she has been a trailing spouse. She has some really good advice on engaging with the locals, volunteering and really embracing the life and culture of the place where you live.
