Kan man fly från sig själv genom att flytta utomlands? Jag tror vi alla vet svaret på det... Men det betyder inte att man inte kan växa genom sina utlandsupplevelser!! 

Matilda och Josefin pratar om sina upplevelser med orealistiska förväntningar om att bo utomlands, och hur de tog sig igenom jobbiga utmaningar och därav slog ner väggar de själva byggt upp inom sig. Låter det djupt? Ja, det blir lika delar djupt, lika delar flum, som vanligt.

Ett nytt fräsch avsnitt med buskapet: om du ska ge dig ut, måste du göra det fullt ut! 

Vad är det egentligen som skiljer åt de som stannar kvar och de som åker? Hur hamnade Josefin och Matilda utomlands egentligen? Och finns det ett utgångsdatum på drömmar?

Ett avsnitt för dig som vill åka utomlands, men inte kommer nån vart. Spoiler alert: allt du behöver göra är att bestämma dig... eller tja det är ju steg ett! Men om du inte börjar där kan vi garantera att du kommer inte komma dit du vill.
