Hello fellow foreigners. Welcome Home. Today we are talking about our foreign feelings in Arabic, Russian, Spanish & English. This is hands down my favorite episode. The introduction is long, but stick with it, it's funny at the end. It is hard to feel foreign. It doesn’t matter where you live or what you do: If you do not feel you do not belong in the body, country, or job that you are in, suffering happens. In this episode, we  share that suffering with each other. It turns out the series Friends in German is horrible...and this may very well be the cause of most of our suffering (among other things). So bring your awkward feelings and join the conversation. I promise there are a lot of weird moments...especially when I try to correctly pronounce the name of my guests.
