I Moved Abroad With One Suitcase... Here's What Happened

Описание: What does it really mean to start over in a new country?
In this episode, we talk honestly about moving to the UK with just one suitcase — the fear, the culture shock, the mistakes, and the emotional reality no one prepares you for when you leave your home behind.

From unsafe first flats and confusing work culture to language misunderstandings, imposter syndrome, and the pressure to “not fail,” we share our real experiences of starting again from scratch. This isn’t a polished success story — it’s the messy middle of immigration, identity, and learning how to belong.

If you’ve ever:
*moved abroad
*thought about leaving your home country
*struggled with culture shock
*felt lost after a big life decision
this conversation will resonate with you.
