    What if?

    [ITA only!] "What if I gave up everything and jumped into the unknown?" Bonny, born, raised, and currently living in Italy, keeps asking herself this question. In this episode, she shares the perspective of someone who never made the move abroad—why it didn’t happen, the fears that held her back, and what she imagines she could learn from living abroad. We also explore what it feels like to be the friend who “stayed” while others “left,” and how that shapes friendships and identities.
