A Journey of Three Moves: Finding Home Again
In this episode of Almost Local, host Maria broadcasts from Auckland, New Zealand, sharing her journey of moving between countries.
From her birthplace in Buenos Aires, Argentina, to New Zealand, then to the Netherlands, and back to New Zealand again, Maria reflects on how these moves have shaped her and her family. She discusses the challenges of fitting into a new environment, dealing with personal loss, and rediscovering oneself.
Maria also invites listeners to join the Almost Local community for more stories and support in navigating life abroad.
