Hello, I'd really like to grow this email list. If you enjoy this newsletter, it would mean the world to Jola and I if you encouraged one friend/fellow immigrant/colleague to subscribe…Very likely, the the only thing you will get in return is warm fuzzy feelings, and if I can attribute it to you, I’d personally send you a thank you email.
In this episode, I’m speaking with Annie Nwaosa, who moved to Finland from Nigeria, and is wondering if it’s time to move on.
“I could hear my heart beat for the first time in many years.” If you have ever been to Lagos, you’ll understand what Annie meant here. The noise and pulsating energy that drive the city forward are second to none.
But moving from the hustle and bustle of Naija’s busiest city to Tampere, Finland, was a massive change.
In this conversation, Annie and I chat about:
Struggling with integrating into her new home
Navigating the language barrier and how it affects everyday life
Getting stranded in a snowstorm
And tips for anyone looking to move to the “Land of the Thousand Lakes.”
P.S. Do you agree that Google Translate is the worst tool for learning a language?
Enjoy!
