Maria Fernanda is my first ever Ecuadorian guest, living as a remote worker since 2018 for a nonprofit organization, who joins me to discuss expat life abroad especially in Saigon, adapting to the unique lifestyle, and her experiences as a remote worker pre, during and post pandemic.
Topics include
⁃ Acclimatizing to Saigon, whether or not we can call it “home”, and the importance of finding a hobby here (note: opportunity vs escapism from other podcasts)
⁃ Being immersed in the remote working environment since 2018, on either side of the pandemic, and channeling introversion in this respect
⁃ Developing yourself out of your work and challenging yourself in the new city
⁃ Navigating the complex nature of making friends in an expat community
⁃ The concept of “home”
