Welcome to Across the Globe, the podcast where we dive into the experiences of students who ventured abroad for minors and internships during their third year. Hosted by Demira, a curious second-year student exploring her own options for the coming year, the show features conversations with peers who’ve studied or interned in different countries such as the USA, Brazil, Norway, France, Germany, Spain, Italy, Japan, Hong Kong, South Korea, and more.
Each guest brings their own unique perspective, offering insights into the culture, academic environment, and work life in their chosen destinations. Although Across the Globe is aimed at third-semester students planning their next steps, these conversations are packed with fascinating cultural insights and personal stories, making them engaging for anyone with a love for travel, learning, and discovery.
The podcast releases long-form episodes every week starting 20th November.
