Meet Lena,

Who left her life in Moscow to wander the world after a speed dating session. OK, it didn't quite happen like that but... she decided to move to London to start a master and after that realized she needed an international environment and went on to find a job in the Netherlands.

In this episode, we discuss culture and cross-culture communications. Lena explains how she picked up parts of the dutch culture and traditions but also shared her own culture with her close ones there, and how to prepare for culture gaps!

Before moving to a  new country, check the Hofstede insights to know where yo u will have the biggest gaps.
