Ep 4: I tried moving to South Korea but this happened

In this episode, I had a fun and insightful conversation with Ife, whose plans to move to Korea didn’t go as expected (visa struggles, we see you). Instead, she found herself starting a new chapter in the UK! Her journey is full of twists, resilience, and unexpected blessings—we talked about how she left her law degree to study Global Development, how hard it was making friends, and her experience with confirmation bias.
