Hello, All! In today's post we discuss the challenges of being an immigrant and not knowing exactly where you fit in. Finding your place in a new country can take time and effort. It can also be very hard to define your "new identity", specially if you decide to immerse fully into a new culture.

Veronique and Silvia grew up in different countries and became good friends in California, USA. They all shared their experiences adapting to a new country as well as their emotional links with their home countries. Veronique's story is particularly interesting because she was born in France but she is not of French heritage. She explains how that could also lead to some challenges during childhood and teenage years.
Silvia has been living in the US for almost twenty years and sometimes she wonders if her connection with her home country (Brazil) has been decreasing over time. Specially after having children in the US. She loves Brazil but she doesn't have many friends left over there as she's been gone for so long.
Living abroad has its challenges but it is a priceless experience to get exposed to so many different cultures. If we can find the right balance between our new adopted country and our home country we can benefit in so many ways! "Never forget where you came from". Remember and appreciate your heritage and embrace with grace the new country that has welcomed you! It's an amazing life opportunity and a true blessing.
We hope you enjoyed this post and please don't forget to leave us a review on your podcast platform! It helps our show tremendously.
Cheers!
Veronique And Silvia
