Inter-cultural marriage- career in project management across six countries - experience as a female expat in an Arabic setting - relationship with money and spirituality. 

These are just some of the topics Joana Lucas and I discussed. 

A female expat in Dubai can have a cultural clash with the Islamic tradition of women's clothes. 

Joana lived in Luxemburg, Cambridge (in the UK), Italy, Turkey and eventually settled in Dubai as the wife of an Indian data engineer. 

I met Joana in 2016 in Florence; we joined the international master in project and planning run by Pixel. 

Six years later, we both settled abroad and changed the relationship with our own country. 

In this episode, Joana shared her personal growth, the experience of being unemployed abroad and the path to find her direction in life.

Homesickness, California - Netherland is a significant distance, personal growth while abroad. How to adapt our personality to a new culture. These are just some of the topics Marina Krivonossova and I discussed during this episode.

The combination of being intentional and being detached to our plan help us face the unexpected events of life. The words shared by Marina are that 'Life is full of surprises [...] I have learned that I am stronger than what I thought.'

We also explored the importance of acknowledging homesickness, building a community with other expats, being connected with our family and friends while communicating how we feel to the people who spend their days with us in the foreign country.

Find a piece of home wherever you live - this is the advice we want to share to those living abroad, like us.
