How managing the ups and downs of studying abroad leads to inner growth - with Livia in Denmark

In this episode, my guest Livia talks about her early upbringing
and how her parents empowered her at an early age to go
abroad.  She went to an international camp in Finland at the
age of eleven, language camps in Malta and Ireland, and at the
age of 16 she moved to Argentina as an exchange student for 11
months. Further down the episode, she talks about why studying in
Italy wasn't for her and what led her to study in Denmark. As a
result, she shared her challenges, frustrations but also the
perks of living, studying, and working in Denmark. Finally, she
uncovers high cultural differences between Denmark and her home
country and gives valuable advice to the listeners who want to go
abroad, too.
