09. The Echo of A Life
David Zamora left Colombia for South Africa in 2013 with one main goal: to learn English.
In this episode of Home, Again, he shares what it was like to arrive with limited language, take restaurant work to practise English, stand up for his dignity, and build a life over 11 years in South Africa. He also reflects on meeting his wife Michelle, moving to Ireland, and discovering how each country shaped his confidence, relationships, and sense of self.
A thoughtful conversation about migration, language, work, love, and the courage it takes to begin again.
*EPISODE NOTE: This episode has been edited with many cuts due to problems with the interview recording. It however seeks to share David's story in as much depth as possible.
