WHO AM I
I am Jasmine, born and raised in Berlin, Germany, currently living in Canada. I moved to Canada for love four years ago and while it was a beautiful journey it also came with a lot of challenges I never thought of before.
Challenges like being alone, finding new friends, cultural differences and social norms were subjects I did not consider before moving. At times I just wanted to go home because everything felt so different and difficult. I got to know a part of myself I never experienced before. I had no idea how attached I was to my home, family and friends and that being without them would affect me so much. Finding the right job for myself was a big challenge as well and dealing with a different lifestyle such as driving almost everywhere.
But giving up was not an option for me and I am happy I did not give up because I learned and gained so much from this
experience.
I also discovered a lot of new differences in Canada that I did not see when
I visited before. And going through this process of finding myself made
me realize what's important to me and what kind of
life I would like to live.
And after all, I came to the conclusion that I would love to share my
knowledge and experience with others.
Whether you need tips for moving abroad or coping with a tough
situation or you are simply interested in listening to my experience
in Canada, my podcast can be a great addition to your preparation and
inspiration.
Please listen in!
XoXo
Jasmine
