Let's Chew the Fat Kristýna Dočekalová and Lauren Sowers

- Society & Culture
It's us, Lauren and Kristýna.
We are international students studying in Madrid and we met on our first day of university. After two weeks of knowing each other and countless podcast-worthy conversations (obviously) we decided to start recording.
We want to document our experience living abroad, facing the challenges of being a university student and the roller coaster that is life in your 20s.
We hope these weekly episodes offer support, comfort or distraction to you.
Music, emotions, books, culture shocks, studying, stress, insecurities, loneliness, independence – we cover it all.

#82 Studying abroad x2: our expectations, fears, and hopes
Very, very soon (we're both not completely aware of how soon it is), we'll be going abroad for a semester: Lauren Australia and Kristýna to Belgium! So, in this episode we wanted to share why we decided to do a semester abroad, what our goals and expectations are, what we're a bit worried about and what we can't wait to experience. If you too are going abroad next semester, this might be the one for you!
As always, we hope you enjoy this episode.
With love,

#81 Things to love about yourself: here's our take
You know the trend on social media where it says "when you remember you you're living the life you're younger you dreamed of"? Well, it probably wasn't phrased like this but for some reason I can't remember and there are probably also multiple versions. Listen, it's important to, every once in a while, stop and think about what you love about yourself. We tend to think more about the negative things and don't realise how proud we actually are of what we've accomplished, gone through and built for ourselves.
With love,

#80 Our collection of travel tips: booking flights, surviving security, Interrail, ...
As international students we travel a lot. Even just back and forth from our home countries to Madrid. Because of this, we've decided that we are qualified to give you travel advice. You didn't ask for it. Nobody asked for it. But here you go! From how to get cheap flights to contradicting packing advice. We've covered it all!
We hope you enjoy this episode.

#78 What you might not know about our countries: dog school, bike exam, porcelain-making
There's things we grew up with that seem normal to us, but when you tell a friend who grew up in a different country you realise it's actually not that normal at all... And for this episode, we collected a whole list of these things. Lauren for Switzerland and Kristýna for the Czech Republic. So, here are a couple of things you might not know about our countries: from mandatory schooling for dogs in Switzerland, all the way to the large consumption of beer in the Czech Republic.
We hope you enjoy this episode and maybe learn something new!

#77 FOMO: we kinda hate that other people's lives go on without us
You've probably heard of FOMO aka Fear of missing out, right? And you've probably felt it at least once in your life... Well, don't worry, you're not alone. To be honest, this whole concept probably goes hand in hand with studying and living abroad.
And we tackle the topic in this episode so tune in to learn how we deal with it!
