Welcome to an inspiring episode that unveils the incredible journey of Aurelija Lapienene, a true powerhouse. In this conversation, Aurelija shares her fascinating path to success, providing a glimpse into her roles as a mother of two, global macro strategist, businesswoman, and triathlete.
 👉 Tips from Aurelija that can help you along the way:
 Be adaptable and embrace the local culture and customs. Instead of focusing on complaints, strive to make the best out of your situation. Seek opportunities for personal growth and development that can enrich your future journeys.    Explore activities that truly resonate with your interests and passions. When relocating to Arab countries, approach your experience with humility. Understand that in certain regions, you may not always be at the top or the best in every situation. Embrace the opportunity to learn from the local community and adapt to their unique practices.Building connections and networking is essential for success in a new environment. Simply sending out resumes and hoping for the best is not enough. Take the initiative to be proactive, engage with individuals, and actively seek opportunities to connect with potential employers.

🌍Journey:  Greece -> France  -> Switzerland

Today I have talked with Georgia Barnasa - a woman full of energy, inspiration and ideas. She is an ambassador of using technology for our benefit, and knowing how to use it correctly. 
It is a very powerfully charged talk, with lived experiences and a big gratitude to the country at which we both are guests.

 👉 Tips from Georgia that can help you along the way:
If money is your motivation, do not come to Switzerland. It wont work here so straight forward, it is not a cheap country to stay in. Even more, people will feel it, sense that you are not going to stay and avoid building strong relationships with you. Keep in mind the schedule and the habits of local people. As a newcomer you might need to adjust at the beginning a bit more. If you want to integrate, it is you who needs to take an extra mile.Identify what is an offering package you are bringing with you into a new country and to the people you are about to meet.Be open, be transparent, be honest.Life without appreciation is a sad life. We need to find happiness in the smallest things.  📎 Reach out to Georgia:

She was born in South America with Italian and Portuguese roots. This Star Wars Collector used her love for Sci Fi as fuel to find her place where she can feel at home 🏡
Michelle's story unfolds from her childhood in Brazil, where she always felt a sense of displacement. It was through her travels in Europe that she discovered a place where she truly belonged.

 👉 Tip from Michelle that can help you along the way:
It is okei to be scared while moving. Every change takes an effort, your mind and your body will resist the changeIf your heart says to you that it belongs somewhere else, listen to it and try to find that place.Don’t rely on your friends and family to create a space where you belong. They will be following their dreams, and you should be following yours.Be patient with the distant friendships, even if it takes a while to learn how to make them workTalk about dark moments and cherish them  📎 Reach out to Michelle:
