Episode 431 - Homesickness is Real

Zdenek Lukas
About this episode

It's been a while since we had an American on. On this podcast, I talk to Vickie, an English teacher from the USA who now calls Spain her home. And it's the topic of home, more specifically "homesickness", that we decided to explore in this episode.
