In this episode I talk to Lauren, the entrepreneur and female mentor of Sweet Smiling Soul. Lauren is originally from Australia, but currently resides in Vienna with her Austrian partner Lorenz. (Yes, Lauren and Lorenz from Australia and Austria!)

We talk what it's like to be in an international relationship, including cultural differences between Europe and Australia, touching on differences in humor, dressing styles, formality and even masculinity across cultures. We also talk about the difficulty of deciding where to live, when each person is from a different country, visa issues, and reverse-culture shock.
