A Canadian who lived in Berlin and an Italian who moved to Montréal share their perspectives on life in the old and new worlds. Join me and Jen as we delve into the cultural contrasts, sparked by personal anecdotes about her life in Berlin: the challenges of finding a job, her successful organization of clothing swaps, and the journey of building a community abroad—and rebuilding it back home.

Albi has lived one-third of her life in Russia, one-third in Italy, and one-third in Canada. By sharing her story, she reflects on the sense of belonging, the meaning of “roots” and “house”, and how a place permeated with love can bring peace to your heart.

From an acting career in Mexico to a life-changing trip to Vancouver, from a chance date to a marriage 5 months later, this episode is a collection of twists. Let’s meet Mar and learn about her efforts to reinvent her career while navigating the insecurities of not being a native English speaker.
