From abroad to forever: A story about love, overcoming barriers and building a life together

44min | 08/26/2025

Description

I only wanted to study abroad, but I ended up falling in love with the love of my life. And suddenly: everything had changed.

In this episode, I share the story of how Nico and I met in Norway as students, how we navigated a long-distance relationship, the doubts of whether our Erasmus love could truly last, and the challenges (and unexpected superpowers) that come with being a bilingual couple.

From overcoming cultural differences and language barriers to building a home away from family, this is a journey of love, resilience, and growth. If you’ve ever wondered whether a bilingual relationship can truly work, or if you’re facing your own doubts, you’ll find reassurance, real talk, and practical takeaways here.

Whether you’ve experienced Erasmus love on your own, you're living in a long-distance relationship, or simply curious about the magic and challenges of bilingual love, this episode will inspire you to trust your heart—and give your mind the will to make it happen.
