Emily Paterson is marketing focused here in Saigon, Vietnam, having spent a lot of time in Manchester, UK working in several different industries. Emily joins me to discuss her journey of expat experiences and career moves, alongside her mental health experiences, and the beauty of going through life without a plan.

Topics include

⁃ Moving from the small town of Bedford into the big city of Manchester for university

⁃ Navigating a variety of different jobs and why it’s okay not to have a plan in life

⁃ Coming to Vietnam as an expat and not going down the teaching route, instead going through marketing

⁃ The parallels that Emily, myself and many others can identify from moving city for university and moving country for an expat experience

⁃ The importance of acknowledging our own achievements

⁃ Not having a plan, and why that’s okay

⁃ Learning to be patient and going with the flow
