Footprints of an Expat
In my podcast, I will bring you the footprints of lives left behind and steps of new lives being created. I will invite women from various countries to share their stories and talk about which roads they needed to take to be where they are now. I would like to celebrate brave decisions and the human ability to connect, to build, to create and to thrive.

Maja - on living 2 parallel lives

Season 3

Episode 8
🌍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.
