✨Welcome back to Scholars Path Africa (SPA)!

In this episode, we dive into a highly relatable topic as our hosts share real, honest experiences from their time studying in Algeria & Ghana.

This is an essential episode for any African scholar planning to study abroad—no matter the country—because cultural adaptation is a continuous journey—not a one-time event.

In this episode, we discuss:

🧑🏾‍🤝‍🧑🏾 The reality of being a minority — and how to navigate it confidently

🗣️ Communication differences: why locals may seem reserved, and how to interpret it correctly

📚 Academic culture shocks: adapting to learning in multiple new languages

⏳ Surviving the heavy bureaucracy and paperwork that comes with studying abroad

🥘 Adjusting to Native cuisines and food culture — bread meals, couscous, olives, and more

💑 Social norms around dating, friendships, and public displays of affection (PDA)

🧠 The power of confidence: owning your African identity and culture unapologetically

🤝 Practical tips and strategies to adapt faster in your host country

✅ Main takeaway: Be open-minded, ask questions, learn and unlearn, and respect the culture you’re in.

Enjoy the episode.🚀
