    About this Episode

    There are so many things people don't tell you when you're preparing to migrate, and in this episode, Geraldine aims to fill in some of those gaps. Geraldine is a Filipina who migrated to New Zealand with her family after she graduated High School. Though it's been more than ten years since she and her family made the big move, in that time, she learned a lot about what it takes to make it as an immigrant.

    Listen as Geraldine shares her wisdom and how her perspective changed after living in two different countries.
