In this episode, seven foreigners describe their first challenges after arriving in Slovakia. How did they navigate a culture so different from their own? What were their first impression of Slovakia and it's culture? 

Thank you to all my guests: Daria Rychagova, Jamie Byrne, Allie Balciaraova, Warren Gray, Carola Carpinteri, Andrea Paviglianiti, and Manuel.

This podcast and my series on migration are supported by Fjuzn, a program of the Milan Simecka foundation, whose goal is to create a platform for migrants living Slovakia whose voice should be heard more in our society. Fjuzn hosts the Fjuzn festival and with the cooperation of migrants and their communities organizes other events around the country to showcase the art, projects, perspectives, and stories of these lesser-known people. To learn more about their events, hear the stories of other migrants in Slovakia and listen to this podcast series, visit www.fjuzn.sk
