The International Corner

To Side Hustle or Not To Side Hustle? Today with the super ingenious and creative mind, Peggy, we are sharing our journey and secrets on how to become a Student Side Hustler, what makes us never stop the grind, but also what we do when we are not that motivated.

Also, make sure to stick around the end as Peggy and I play a game called: Who is the bigger Side Hustler? Do other celebrities have an upper hand on Peggy Liu? Does Elon Musk? Rihanna? Me?!

Ahh what a blessing is to enjoy your favourite coffee (or else) with your new pal. But how is the actual experience of making new friends? Overseas? What if they don’t get me?

In our latest episode, me and my special guest, Lucia, give you a little taste to what it means to experience culture shock through the eyes of young international students.

Come along as Tara, my special guest, and I share our experiences dealing with weather (and mood) changes and how to embrace them as part of your new way of life.

Roommates. Some are the parent you never had. Some are your worst nightmare. And some are just there, like a piece of furniture. No matter what, you'll eventually live with all three of these personalities (if not more!).

That's why today, my special guest, Natalia, and I will provide you a proper manual of how to deal with each and every kind of roommates by telling you some of the most amazing and craziest adventures we had while sharing a house with others!

October is here! There are pumpkins everywhere, the smell of cinnamon is in every shop and lots of spooky decorations. But guess what is spookier than a sack of bones? Exams!

They say you never forget the first kiss. But as an international student, you never forget your first week!
