And I agree. The journey changes you, so I like to call immigrants “the in-betweeners.” You are in between cultures.
I wonder what I would call Kateryna Makysmenko, who’s lived in four countries since she turned 16.
On this episode of The Newcomers Podcast, 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!
