Candies and Jessica are two best friends who have been through different phases of lives together and stuck with each other through thick and thin. 

In this episode, we shared a bit of our background, where we are from and the culture shocks we stumbled upon while living in this foreign land. We also talked about how we came up with this podcast, why we launched it and what we want you to get out of these episodes! 

University life is like a roller-coaster ride, and we loved it! The adrenaline rush, the ups and downs, and the many firsts that you will remember for the rest of your lives.  Whether you are an international student or working adult who miss student life, I am sure you can relate while listening to us!
