E27: Kateryna Maksymenko on how the immigration journey changes you

"My time in Italy influenced how I drink my Cappuccino."

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.

Join us as we explore the bitter-sweet world of the immigrant.


In this episode, I’m speaking with Kateryna Makysmenko, who’s lived in four countries since she turned 16.

I agree that the immigration journey changes you. I like to call immigrants “the in-betweeners.” We are always in between cultures.

In this conversation, Kateryna and I explore:

  • The legendary Canadian kindness

  • Moving as a tourist vs. moving as an immigrant

  • How moving often means she’s built an automated settling-in routine

  • Her first night as a student in Poland vs. her first night as a working professional in Canada

  • Why your first month is crucial to easing into your new country

Enjoy!
