Summary
I'm joined by my childhood friend Jordan who made a sudden move from New York to Amsterdam, four years ago. Jordan shares why she took the risk to move to a new country, how her family and friends reacted to the news, and what it was like picking up and starting a new life in a new place. Jordan opens up about how she approached making friends, establishing roots, dating, and feeling comfortable and at home in a foreign country. We hear how she met her now longterm boyfriend and what her fears were surrounding meeting someone abroad and how that would impact her future. Jordan gives us incredible advice for taking chances, making the most of life, and not having any regrets.
