Agnes - on the Power of Positivity

Season 3 · Episode 11

Wednesday, December 11, 2024 • Duration 24:46

🌏 Journey Hungary -> UK -> Switzerland

Today, I have the pleasure of speaking with Agnes, a Senior Test Engineer based in Switzerland. Agnes approaches life with an incredibly positive mindset and a strong determination to create a fulfilling life for herself. One of the most inspiring examples is how she integrated into new cultures — first in London and later in Switzerland — by immersing herself in local languages and dialects.

In our conversation, we explore the power of self-improvement over self-proving, the value of staying open to new opportunities, and the importance of prioritizing self-care on our personal journeys

🌏 Journey India-> Australia, UK, Malaysia, Singapore -> Switzerland

Today I am talking to Manish Kumar, an enthusiastic software quality engineer with a cosmic curiosity, who thrives on collaborative discussions about groundbreaking ideas in space science & tech.

We talked about his experiences growing in India, travelling to other continents, learning languages of the regions of countries he is in and how he builds home together with his wife.

Manish fascinates me with his mindfulness, how he explores the world, how he invests in his skills, knowledge and relationships, to build a happy life.

Tips from Manish:

Be open minded
Be respectful for people around you
Follow the rules
Travel with arms wide open, willing to accept whatever comes his way, making the experiences and learning from them.

Tuesday, April 18, 2023 • Duration 34:59

🌍Journey: Iran -> France, Italy -> Switzerland

In today's episode, we have a heartful and spiritually calming guest for you - Anisa Zafar. Through our talk, I was surrounded by her wise energy and gratitude for life.

Anisa, who introduces herself as Iranian-Italian, is a coach and meditation teacher. She has published meditation cards that you can find on her website. She also organizes meditative intuitive painting seminars and is working on publishing her book!

We talked about creativity, physical and inner movements through different countries, the power of changing perspective from victim to hero of our own lives, and many more insightful topics. One of the special topics Anisa reflected on is grieving the country we leave and how to live with it.

👉 Valuable tips from Anisa that can help you along the way:

Keep a positive mindset with you. Try to see everyone as a person and trust you will attract good people in your life
Stop expecting people to be exactly like you. If we let go such expectations, we reduce the chance of suffering
Learn the language of a new country, so that you could speak to people in their language
Trust that there are good and kind people everywhere
If you were forced to leave your country - try to find inspiration why you are on this journey and what you are looking for.

Maja - on living 2 parallel lives

Season 3 · Episode 8

Thursday, March 23, 2023 • Duration 32:30

🌍Journey: Serbia -> Switzerland

Maja has a unique perspective on life, as she leads two parallel lives in both Switzerland and Serbia. During our conversation, we discussed how she has learned to appreciate the differences between these two cultures, and how she has created a beautiful balance between them.

👉 Valuable tips from Maja that can help you along the way:

Firstly, it's important to be true to yourself and stay true to your beliefs and values. However, it's also crucial to be diplomatic and cautious in your interactions with others.
Building relationships with people from different backgrounds is also important, especially those with whom you naturally connect.
It's best to avoid burning bridges or having big fights, as the world is smaller than we think, and we never know when we might cross paths with someone again.
Creating connections and contacts before arriving in a new country can be incredibly helpful, as the "6 degrees of separation" rule often applies.
Remember to be brave, curious, and open to creating your own support group, and be aware that you and your friends may change over time.

Hanna - on being Born in Expat Life

Season 3 · Episode 6

Thursday, February 2, 2023 • Duration 28:57

🌍Journey: United Arab Emirates (originally from Somaliland) -> Switzerland

Today I have a great story for you, followed by laughter and sincere admiration of the world. My guest is Hanna (Mohamed Abdi) Meiga - an original Somalian, born and raised in Abu Dhabi. She calls herself a Third culture kid. Also our talk has multiple layers, colors and countries.

Hanna lives a life with an open heart. She proactively approaches people to build connections. For example, on her first day of arrival she was already planning to meet a person she had met on the plane. Also, started to learn basic German phrases on her 2nd day in Zurich. As a traveler Hanna preferred to visit small and sometimes illegal places to experience local culture.

👉Main tips from Hanna:

Read about the country before you arrive there
See the do’s and don'ts. Respect them. There might be not everything you could agree with, but it is not your country
Try to learn the language
Have both local and expat friends
Find an activity to engage in. Make a routine to go out.
Do not stick to what you know, as that leads to disconnect you from the country

🌍Journey: China -> Poland -> Switzerland

Today we are travelling from China to Poland and Switzerland, together with a very insightful woman from Generation Z - Sherry (Jiahang) Zou.

👉Main tips from Sherry:

Be brave one second longer
Do not make conclusions about a person from one-time interactions; especially if the first impression is judgmental. Know a person first.
Do not have too high expectations for people. Everyone might be busy with their lives. Instead, try to look at what you could give to them first.
Use a “I am new here” card and continue asking questions to learn and know more about the country you are in
Enjoy what you have instead of chasing what you want
Respect people and try to understand then more, do not draw conclusions from the first meeting.
