For this episode I virtually sat down with Lizzie, an American educator who traded the quiet beaches of Cape Cod for the vibrant, high-energy city of Bangalore in the south of India. With an Irish-Lebanese heritage Lizzie joins me to discuss the reality of teaching abroad and the unexpected turns of a cross-cultural marriage with an Indian man.
From the 'entrepreneurial hustle' of India’s Silicon Valley to the secret of a perfect Irish-Lebanese home, we’re exploring what it really means to be a global citizen.
