About this episode

WE'RE BACK - SEASON 2 

We are so excited to be back for Season 2 as we have so many exciting episodes planned and lots of amazing guests joining us!! 

In this week's episode, after a little catch up, we share our personal experiences living away from home, and how this has impacted our identities.

Over the past few weeks, Leo and I have both had some realisations that have really made us think about how we cope being away from our “home” and in some sense the sacrifices we’ve had to make to experience the opportunities here in the UK.

We end the episode with our advice on how deal with living abroad! 

So pour yourself a matcha and as always, we would love to hear your thoughts! You can message us on @the.matcha.diaries where we post daily!
