During this holiday episode, we talked about what it really feels like being a traveler or pioneers of our families and communities: feeling alone, the pain, doubts, and how our families and society view us. We're making decisions that are different. It's risky. It's life-changing. It's beautiful. But, it also has its pains, especially during the holidays.
Now more than ever, this podcast feels even more relatable as expats and travelers #StayHome and quarantine around the world during the outbreak of coronavirus. As expats, we often feel alone and cope with the long distance that prevents us from having access to our family and friends. Keep your head up! You're not alone. Keep going.
