The Journey Home: Moving to Sweden

Rachel Brathen
About this episode

It’s official: Rachel, Dennis and Lea are residents of Sweden! In today’s episode, Rachel shares the first update since leaving the Caribbean island of Aruba for a much more snowy landscape. After almost missing their flight, Lea being seated in a separate cabin, and none of their luggage making it (not to mention Dennis getting stopped by customs with Rachel’s questionable carry on…), they eventually made it home. And just in time for Christmas!

Sometimes the universe throws you a curve ball just before a big life transition. Keep your head up and move forward - you’re on the right path! Tune in for a hilarious tale of making your way home, no matter what the universe has up its sleeve.
