Jessica Peart, is offering us a larger perspective of the countries in which she lived, exploring their historical, social and economical backgrounds. Through story telling and academic debate, Jessica expresses her alternative perspective with sincerity and conviction, explaining her choices as an immigrant.

Sofia Busquets was born in Argentina and grew up in Mexico. She discovered what it means to be a child of the third culture. She worked hard to adapt to the Mexican way of life and family culture. She gradually developed her sense of identity and became aware of the uniqueness of her experience.

A year spent in the English countryside and a year in Los Angeles made her aware of her status as a foreigner.

Her studies at the Rome International Film School in Italy gave her an extraordinary opportunity to learn what it takes to make a film and to experiment with different roles.

How women can express themselves through film and how their talents are gradually becoming better represented as professionals in the film industry?
The future belongs to those who dare to express who they are. If not you, then who?

I am hosting Amelia Rönnblom. Amelia is Swedish and navigates around the globe as a First Officer on cruise ships.

From Sweden where she was born to Finland where she studied, she then settled for two years in the south of Belgium near Luxembourg. She has now moved to Spain. Very active, sociable and with an entrepreneurial spirit, she created a Luxembourg chapter for the volunteer powered global and local community called Girl Gone International. From then a fantastic human adventure began for her.

Living and working abroad across the oceans has broadened her perspective on life and is part of her journey of self-discovery and others.

What is her work aboard the cruise ship and how she manages her multicultural team, she explains all of that to us in this episode.

Today I am hosting Nathalie Gricourt. Nathalie was born in France, she studied marketing in a business school in France and then graphic design in Australia. She has been living in London for 10 years.

Living and working abroad is a big change in a life and is often the start of a long transformational self-journey. It goes with its ups and downs, navigating between challenging times and joyful moments.

Many doors can lead to Entrepreneurship and her international experience revealed unknown parts of herself. Evolving in an unfamiliar environment, she surprised herself to develop projects she would have never thought of before.

Today we celebrate the first anniversary of the podcast with nine out of the eleven ladies I interviewed this year. We will go around the table to answer four questions:

1) How does living abroad and immersing yourself in other cultures help you grow?

2) How do you think women (all over the world) can express their voices to contribute to a more united world?

3) How can your experiences be a source of motivation or inspiration for other women whether they live abroad or not?

4) Is there any dream you would like to achieve or, any wish for the communities around you in a post-covid world?

J’accueille Aujourd’hui Estefanía Martín sur mon podcast Women Abroad. Du Venezuela où elle a grandi jusqu’à Tenerife où elle a commencé ses études universitaires, elle a subi un premier choc culturel. Même langue mais culture différente, elle a dû s’adapter et se faire des amis lui a été difficile. Mais comme souvent c’est le premier pas qui coûte … Une fois que vous avez mentalement élargi vos frontières intérieures, vous devenez plus prêt à voir et à accepter les autres tels qu’ils sont, différents de vous.

Au fur et à mesure qu’elle déroule son histoire, Estefanía devient plus à l’aise de parler de sa passion pour la mode. Ses séjours à Rome et à Anvers ont contribué à modeler les contours de son style comme styliste.

Que nous puissions parfois considérer notre liberté de mouvement comme un droit acquis, Estefania évoque cependant à quel point la sécurité reste un facteur majeur à considérer lorsqu’il s’agit de choisir le pays où elle veut vivre ou voyager.
