In this episode, I chat to my friend and ex-colleague Aurelia Albrecht about taking the huge decision to uproot her whole life in Austria to fulfil her long-held dream of living in Asia. Aurelia moved to Japan 3 years ago, where she faced massive cultural differences, including unexpected gender bias in her first job there, which made things incredibly difficult. We chatted about how that affected her and what she learned from it.
Aurelia also talks about having to massively downsize her possessions due to the size of apartments in Tokyo and how freeing she found letting go of her belongings. We also discuss the impact of living on the other side of the world from her family during a pandemic.
Aurelia has dared me to go out and do things on my own and speak to people I don't know, as that's what she had to do when she moved to Tokyo and didn't know anyone.
