#63 From Grocery Store Scare to Global Safety: My Eye-Opening Return to the US
Trigger Warning: gun violence, mass shootings, kidnapping, and trafficking.
In this episode, I dive deep into a pretty scary experience I had at a grocery store on my most recent visit to the US and use it as a springboard to talk about the bigger issue of gun violence and safety here compared to living abroad. It's a heavy topic, but one that's so important, especially given how often mass shootings and gun-related incidents seem to happen in the US.
I share more personal stories of feeling unsafe in the US and contrast that with my experiences in other countries where safety isn’t such a major concern. From the stark differences in everyday safety and vigilance to the challenges of dealing with culture shock and reverse culture shock, we cover a lot of ground.
Plus, I chat about everything from how the food here affects my body, to work culture and political tensions in the USA and compare it to my experience living overseas.
