Podcast: Why do we have FOMO and FOBO?
I lived out of my suitcase for 2 years. Because of my FOMO and FOBO, I did not settle in New Zealand. I did not let myself fully settle until I realised what was happening.
That's only one of my own international life memories that I remembered when talking to Vassia Sarantopoulou from Anti-Loneliness.
She's invited me to her podcast 'Meaningful conversation' to talk about international life, relocation, and mental health. It was a short-lived conversation with so many angles.
It's 48 min in total, but don't worry. Vassia has chucked it into sections. So give the section a listen that you're interested in most!
