What happens when a missing taxi and a faulty internet connection lead to unexpected kindness and delicious pizza? Hear how my first day in Montreal turned from chaos to charm, thanks to the generosity of strangers like Beer Inder and Harpreet. I reflect on the warm welcome I received and the surprising ways these encounters helped me find my footing in a new country.
Together with my guest, we dive into cultural surprises in Canada, from the classroom revelations to the joy of celebrating diverse festivals. We explore the nuances of adjusting to a new life in Canada, including trying poutine for the first time and dreaming of owning countless cats.
Throughout our conversation, we express gratitude for the insights shared and the connections made, leaving you with a deeper understanding of the immigrant experience and a sense of shared humanity.
