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 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!

One time, I almost exposed myself to credit card fraud. Here’s the gist - I went to the store to purchase some snacks. When it was time to pay, I handed the cashier my card. Big mistake!Thanks for reading The Newcomers Podcast! Subscribe for free to receive new posts and support my work.
