This week, I am joined by my very dear friend and honorary roommate Alda from Indonesia. She studied her Master's in Human Rights at Columbia University (US), and Psychology at Universitas Nusa Cendana (Indonesia) for her undergraduate degree. Currently, she’s working at Plan International Indonesia as Project Manager. Plan International is an NGO focusing on fulfillment of children's rights and equality for girls. At Plan, she manages a project called Girls Football, focusing on integrating sport as a platform to promote girls' leadership and transform the community into a safe and equal space.
In this episode, we talked about what it means to move from complete strangers to close friends in a short time. We discussed not only how we navigated the challenges of sharing space with roommates but also the rewards that come with it. A candid and personal one-on-one conversation that lets you see a glimpse of what’s it’s like to live with roommates in New York City!
Tune-in to laugh, learn and appreciate the international student experience!
