Is Going Abroad Still Worth It?

from Write Your Story Abroad · host LottaLingo

We've lived in South Korea, France, Spain, and Singapore. In this episode we tell our full story and how living abroad changed who we are.We chat about the highs, like the moment a foreign language clicks and you realize you can function in it. And the lows, like being homesick in a country where you don't have a support system, or dealing with a health emergency far from home.One of the ideas we talk about all the time is the "triangle to circle" metaphor. When you move between cultures, you stop fitting neatly into any one of them. You become something new. Your identity isn't the country you came from or the country you moved to, but rather a melting pot of many different people, foods, songs, and languages.We also get into the practical side: how to research a city before committing and how to filter through the noise when every country looks like a good option from the outside.
