My guest today is Silvia Polvara. Born in Italy, she studied and worked in Germany and the UK. She currently lives in Luxembourg. 
Each story of the women I interview explores a different facet of what it is like to live away from home. 
The outside perspective you get is at the heart of an international mindset that you gradually develop throughout your time abroad. 
As a child of a third culture, Silvia was also raised outside her native country. Luxembourg City, nestled in the heart of Europe, is a cosmopolitan and multicultural place where she enjoys embracing diversity. She also feels at home here.

The 25th episode of Women Abroad brings me to introduce Barbara Lima. Barbara is a visionary, multilingual, and multi-talented Brazilian artist and entrepreneur. She is the founder, editor-in-chief, and creative director of The Weave Magazine, a seasonal and regenerative publication.
She traveled and moved to Canada, France, China, Australia, Malaysia, Costa Rica, and now Mexico for self and professional development. Barbara calls herself a nomad, grounded, aligned with herself, and moving with the flow of life. For us, she opens her heart to her journey of self-discovery abroad and how she sees her traveling abroad as a catalyst to develop spiritually.

My host for this 24th episode is Ludovica Arvigo, an Italian student in psychology. With her, we explore what it means to develop a third culture when, like her, you grow up abroad and build your educational background outside your parents' country of origin.  
The wish to take a gap year never comes by chance. It often answers a call for self-discovery out of your comfort zone. From her getting prepared for her four-month trip in Central and South America, Ludovica’s episode is an ode to the joy of meeting yourself outside of an organised setting and a powerful confidence booster.

Pour ce 23ème épisode, j’accueille Virginie André.
Virginie et sa famille quittent leur Belgique natale pour embarquer pour Stockholm, en Suède. Entre le rêve longuement mûri et sa concrétisation, elle constate rapidement que le chemin à la résidence est un parcours qui peut être long et balisé d’obstacles.

La qualité des préparatifs, notamment les démarches administratives, importe aussi beaucoup et peut amoindrir le choc à l'arrivée dans le nouveau pays. 
Vous souhaitez en découvrir davantage sur l’expérience de Virginie et sur la Suède, en quoi ce pays suscite son admiration, et l’inspire pour ses projets professionnels, c’est tout de suite, votre nouvel épisode de Women Abroad.
