Customer Reviews
SO excited for this show.
Kasia, you have been the perfect host from episode 1 and I’m so glad you are making this podcast! Your storytelling is tight and well-planned, yet also feels so warm and casual. I am in awe of your English skills. I also moved abroad at age 12, loved it, returned to my birth country and now am in my early thirties and trying to take the plunge back into expat life. I found the conversations about language with your brother especially encouraging and helpful. Thank you!!!
