"Being in Hong Kong for that long really helped create the way I am now..."

Chris shares his experience of  growing up in Hong Kong and the day-to-day life of working / living half-way across the world. It is similar but completely different to UK city life! 

Some fantastic advice and tips to relocating and what to potentially expect. Insightful knowledge on the similarities and differences between the two cities, countries and life as a whole.

Sometimes it can be hard to understand how those who are relocating and maybe this may make you think differently or be a touch more compassionate to someone who has decided to move away from home. 

Example points we touch on:

• What it was like growing in Hong Kong?
• Did Chris enjoy living there?
• How did the dense and intense city impact Chris
• The pros and cons

We are here for you!

Isn’t it so important to rest, relax and recharge? Sometimes it is good to reflect and share some of the more outside of the podcast things. This is exactly what this episode is! 

After a quiet few weeks both Chris and Callum talk through what they did over the summer. 

• After all of your hard work whether you are studying or working full-time it is so rewarding to take a break and unwind. 
• Trying to stay away from all of those emails and messages that usually you would work through. 
• Trusting in your team / colleagues to steady the ship in your absence. 
• Just letting go and enjoying the moment! 

Chris went back to Hong Kong for the last time as a resident, it is such a cool and in-depth insight to life half-way across the road. Hear exactly what he got up to! 

On the flip side, Callum had a few things going on, some sport related, some not so much! 

• Started off at the Silverstone Grand Prix - Interested to hear what it is like from being track-side and what to expect? Check this out! (Trust us, it’s something everyone who enjoys events and sport should be experiencing!) 
• A few holidays to places such as Malta and Istanbul, Turkey. Could be a few tips and hints on what to do or expect without reading a blog or a travel guide. 

If you take anything away from this episode  it should be that taking a break and enjoying a few days / weeks off is just as important as grafting for that dream role!
