Georgina - on languages and life in 3 continents

🌍Journey: South Africa -> Australia, Germany, Switzerland ->  Australia

This was what Georgina told about herself:
"I was born in Cape Town, South Africa during the Apartheid era. At the age of 6, I left my homeland and made the journey to Sydney, Australia. The decision to go was not mine...my mother decided for us! I remember the silly questions I got asked...like, did you have a lion in your backyard? And the laughter at my accent. That was the first of many moves and the start of a lifelong journey of discovery, standing out, fitting in, belonging.
Now I find myself back in Australia after living in Switzerland for 7 years, and this time I decided on behalf of my own family to make the move. A decision that
not everyone has accepted!"

👉Tips from Georgina:

• While visiting or moving to a new country, try to learn the language, even a few words. People appreciate your effort and it makes things much easier
• Do not choose only the international community meetings, as they might not always help you to feel the society you are in.  Reach out to locals
• Join an association that reflects your interests
