E02: Settling into a new country during a lockdown with Nishila Babu

Hello, I'd really like to grow this email list. If you enjoy this newsletter, it would mean the world to Jola and I if you encouraged one friend/fellow immigrant/colleague to subscribe…Very likely, the the only thing you will get in return is warm fuzzy feelings, and if I can attribute it to you, I’d personally send you a thank you email.

Join us as we explore the bitter-sweet world of the immigrant.

In this episode, I'm speaking with Nishila Babu about being a new immigrant in the middle of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Nishila Babu quit her job and moved to Canada to start a new life. What she didn’t prepare for was immigrating at a time when the world was unsure of its fate. Juggling the loneliness of being new to Canada, with the pandemic restrictions, was an altering experience for most immigrants, including Nishila.

In this conversation, Nishila and I chat about:

* Missing home

* Dealing with the fear of starting afresh

* Settling into a new country while the world grappled with the pandemic

* The differences between the Indian and Canadian educational system

* Treating immigration as a second chance in life
