Self-development abroad... are expats a little masochistic?
from Connection Alchemy
Join this conversation between me and Dinara where we explore what self-development means in the life of an expat. I personally had a great insight into the masochistic nature of expat life. But you’re gonna have to give it a listen if you want to know what the hell I am talking about. Apart from the main focus of our conversation, we also explored questions such as these: - What are the lessons from moving abroad? - Can we enrich the culture we come into? - Are all of us expat insatiable explorers?
