Episode 36 - A closer look to loneliness and how to keep your 4am friends with Adriana Romero
Show Notes

At the moment of emigrating, we can take clothes, accessories, souvenirs, etc. But, many of us leave a significant piece of ourselves behind: our friends and family.

Migration is a difficult decision to make. Some are blessed to have loved ones with them, while others deal with the feeling of loneliness.

Although the distance, we know that we have people who love us. Sometimes a hug, a caress, or a simple outing for coffee and laughing for hours become long-awaited moments that we remember with nostalgia.

In today's episode, my best friend Adriana Romero is here to be our guest. We will share our migration story and how she and I learned to deal with the loneliness that emigration implies and maintain the bond of friendship between us.
