In this episode, you'll meet Montana poet Susannah Cragwick and her husband, Samuel and hear their unique love story. Susannah and Samuel were married in May of 2023 in Finland where they both now reside. Samuel is from Finland. Listen in as they share words of wisdom navigating cultural differences and language differences and still sharing love. You can find Susannah's poetry on Substack @: https://susannahcragwick.substack.com. As a bonus, Susannah also shared a few tips for European expats that weren't in the episode. I've copied them below for you. Thank you Susannah! "Bring a set of measuring cups with you that use the Imperial system. That way you can make your favorite recipes without feeling stressed about converting measurements. I have both types of measuring cups. It's been great allowing myself those options. In Finland and maybe other parts of Europe, standard paper sizes, folder sizes, and hole punches are different from the US. For instance, the papers Samuel printed out for me here are a little too tall for my American folders. Our hole punch is with 2 holes and not 3. Again, I don't know about Portugal, but in Finland, according to Samuel, Sharpies and legal pads are not easy to find. So, when he visited the US, he was piling up on those things."Thank you for listening!
