    Where it all came together - Part 2 | Arab World Series

    In this second and final chapter of my experience in Jordan, we deep dive (shocker) into all aspects of life in Amman as an "expat" student, as well as its contrasts. From  dialect courses to improvised tour guides, border crossings, career realisations, and, of course, mystical crises. What more can a girl ask for over such a short time period?

    Where it all came together - Part 1 | Arab World Series

    University, graduation... then what? What was originally a buffer period before entering "the real world" brought about a little more realisations than expected. Today, we being our third series along with a new travel companion (I sound ancient I know), having just completed three years of Arabic and actually wanting to speak it for a change. Thus, our journey continues through a language course in Amman, Jordan.

    "Strane, misteriose e incredibili storie"

    Riprendiamo il tema podcast introducendo la prima puntata da groupie sul programma che ha formato un buon 70% dei miei interessi di oggi (e la scelta di carriera lavorativa). Vi parlo di Dee Giallo, dei personaggi che ha portato alla luce e che hanno segnato la cultura americana e italiana. Storie di culti, criminalità, esperimenti psicologici e molto altro.

    For the seasons of waiting: an update - Part 2

    In this episode, we get down to the series of disappointing interviews that threw me for a loop 🎢 A reflection on career expectations, the concept of never giving up, and the wavering sense of value as a young professional in a hyper-specific job market.

    For the seasons of waiting: an update - Part 1

    As of June this year, I officially found a job! And if this does not come across as groundbreaking news, you probably didn't need to face the trainwreck that is the job market in 2024. For those who get it, I've decided to put months of uncertainty and low self-esteem to good use as I recount the first months of venturing into the humanitarian field.

    "Un italiano vero"? con Alessandro

    Oggi propongo una conversazione che parte dal concetto di identità nazionale per poi fare un giro immenso parlando di patriottismo, esperienze Erasmus, lo studio dell'arabo e tutte le considerazioni (pacate o meno) sui vari popoli e culture che solo degli ex studenti di lingue ✨cittadini del mondo✨ possono offrire. Gli stereotipi sono dopo tutto così sbagliati? Vi presento Alessandro.

    For the seaons of waiting with Charlotte

    Sometimes, the university-to-early-career pipeline is very straightforward. Other times, you're stuck like me in an endless limbo, sending applications into oblivion as months go by and very little feedback is received. Those who get it, get it - and this episode is dedicated especially to you. Join me and today's guest as we discuss the side effects of this waiting period and its unlikely perks. Here's Charlotte.

    I heart podcasts

    Ever heard talking about podcasts on a podcast? Genius concept, right? In this episode, we (AKA me and myself - literally) discuss the meaning of podcasts, the evolution of the format, and the dystopian direction it may be headed towards as it is increasingly becoming a mainstream business
