Voice of Expats
Voice of Expats
Podcast Description
As an expat in France for more than 8 years, there are some questions that I would ask myself about this identity of mine, and I'm curious to hear your thoughts. In this show, I invite people to talk about cultural differences, personal experience, growth and challenges. It can be a chance to find out more about ourselves as well. The idea is to create a community to openly express and share experiences.
