Geopats: balancing culture shock
No matter where you're from or where you've moved to or are planning to move to, this podcast can help you get grounded. These are conversations that with other long term expats and internationals about what grounded them in their other places in the world. We embrace culture shock and learn from it. Some conversations are focused on books, others language, online communities and more. These are candid, vulnerable conversations that reflect our ups and downs adjusting to life elsewhere.
