- Places & Travel
In this episode of Flourish In The Foreign, Jackie a 41-year-old serial digital nomad and slow mad living in San Pedro La Laguna, Guatemala shares her journey of living abroad. She left home to live abroad for the first time at the age of 16. She grew up with an international and diverse background, with an African-American mother and Nigerian father, and was exposed to travel and different cultures from a young age. She went to Germany for a year through a program partially funded by the U.S. Congress and the German Bundeslag. She had an amazing experience learning German and traveling around Europe. This experience convinced her that she wanted to spend more of her life abroad and that her race didn't just define her life. She then went to Spelman, a Historically Black College, and continued to live and travel abroad.
