Something A Little Different - International Women's Voices
Nomadic Diaries Episode: International Women's Day Special
Host: Doreen Cumberford
In this episode, we have combined the voices of six women who I interviewed over the last year. Each one is unique, works in international and intercultural situations, and has at least one golden nugget of wisdom to contribute to our lifestyles.
Meet:
- Iliana Jankova: Moved from Hungary to the US with $200. Iliana's story embodies courage as she has navigated several countries and continents solo.

The shows these women have appeared in focussed on the following:
Resilience/Courage/Personal Growth/Complexity of International Transitions/Acknowledgement of the messy potential/
One major theme that runs through these women's lives is that they have traveled widely on journeys that have redefined who they are at depth. Living abroad should be more than just collecting passport stamps–it's about becoming the best version of yourself.
