   Stephanie @ Leipzig (auf Deutsch)

   Send Email here :) (https://www.buzzsprout.com/twilio/text_messages/2317646/open_sms) Heute begrüße ich einen ganz besonderen Gast in unserem Podcast, Stephanie. Sie hat eine spannende multikulturelle Hintergrundgeschichte: Ihr Vater ist Portugiese, ihre Mutter Österreicherin, und sie wurde in der Schweiz geboren. Schon in jungen Jahren zog sie nach Portugal, wo sie zunächst Schwierigkeiten hatte, sich zu integrieren, aber schließlich ein Zuhause fand. Nach dem Abitur entschied sie sich, Krankenpflege an einer sehr anspruchsvollen Universität zu studieren. Trotz ihres Abschlusses hatte sie Schwierigkeiten, auf dem portugiesischen Arbeitsmarkt Fuß zu fassen und versendete Hunderte von Bewerbungen, bevor sie beschloss, nach Deutschland zu ziehen. In einem kleinen Dorf fand sie eine Anstellung in einem psychiatrischen Krankenhaus. Auch hier war die Integration nicht einfach, und sie musste erneut viele Herausforderungen meistern. Nach fast drei Jahren zog sie nach Leipzig. Hier fühlt sie sich angekommen und hat ein zweites Zuhause gefunden. Heute wird sie uns von ihren Erlebnisse, Geschichte und Hobbys und Lieblingsorten in Leipzig erzählen. Dies ist meine erste Episode auf Deutsch. Ich bin wirklich begeistert und freue mich sehr darauf. Ich hoffe, es gefällt euch. Music from my Podcast via Pixabay.

   Dominique @ Zentrum Sudost

   Send us a Text Message. (https://www.buzzsprout.com/twilio/text_messages/2317646/open_sms) In this captivating episode, we unravel the extraordinary journey of our guest, whose roots trace back to the enchanting town of Sonneberg, famed for its toy heritage and the Sandmenschen. Despite a childhood spent amidst the beauty of nature, traditional schooling failed to ignite her passion, leading to setbacks and academic challenges, including initially failing high school. Undeterred by adversity, our guest embarked on a quest for self-discovery, venturing to Magdeburg to pursue her dream of studying fashion design. It was in the vibrant city of Leipzig, however, where she found not only artistic inspiration but also a sense of belonging among a close-knit group of friends. Yet, after completing fashion school, job opportunities proved elusive, leading her on a winding journey that included stints in Greece and office jobs. It was during this time that she discovered her latent talent as a printmaker, crafting exquisite lino prints of animals, a venture that eventually evolved into her own business. However, the journey was far from over. A chance encounter with an Instagram ad reignited her academic ambitions, prompting her to revisit her high school education and subsequently enroll in university to study informatics. Despite facing the challenges of being the oldest in her class, her matured perspective enriched both her life and studies. Now, firmly rooted in Leipzig, she finds joy in a myriad of activities, from leisurely walks with her beloved canine companion in Friedenspark to exploring cozy cafes and vibrant flea markets. Join us as she shares her insights, experiences, and invaluable tips gleaned from a life shaped by resilience, reinvention, and relentless pursuit of passion.
