    Christmas cards and feeling homesick l Just Us

    As two people that have moved around quite a bit, it’s safe to say we’ve felt homesick more than once. So on today’s episode we share our experiences with homesickness and the coping mechanisms we’ve used. We also try –unsuccessfully– to figure out what the deal is with Christmas cards in the U.S. (what do they mean?? We still don’t know!) And one of us makes a strong case for why we should all be watching The Eternaut on Netflix. WATCH on YouTube! REACH OUT: Want to share your immigration stories or have a question?

    Scrooge McDuck and career restarts l Just Us

    This week we talk about how immigrating often means starting your career all over again or at least having to endure a setback (unless you happened to immigrate for a promotion, of course). Navigating the practical and emotional aspects of what you hope is a short term risk for a long term reward is challenging. We share our experiences and the conversations we’ve had with countless friends who have had to face the same difficulty. We also chat about NYC footwear, Scrooge McDuck, carseats and Adults on Hulu.
