In our debut episode, Verlyn, Jojo, and Edna sit down to explore the world of international students, sharing personal stories and experiences that many can relate to.

We chat about what it truly means to be an international student, from the reasons we decided to study abroad to the emotional rollercoaster of adjusting to a new culture. This episode is a mix of personal stories, laughs, and reflections on how this journey has shaped us into who we are today.

Featuring honest conversations, practical advice for future international students, and a look into life beyond borders, this very first episode sets the tone for many meaningful discussions to come✨
