Hey, it's Aditi, and in today's episode, I'm shedding light on the harsh truths many Indian students abroad face but seldom talk about. From battling loneliness to encountering unexpected racism within our own community, I'll unravel the layers of the expat experience.

Discover the unexpected kindness from strangers and the harsh reality of gatekeeping around H1B. Learn to navigate the flip side of relationships and the challenges of daily life – from cooking to dealing with homesickness.

Criticism and misunderstanding often accompany this journey, but it's essential to stay resilient. I'll dive into the food shock and the impact on health, urging caution, especially for women.

Moreover, we'll unravel the bizarre truths about healthcare and explore the often-overlooked strategy of settling abroad through marriage. Join me in unpacking these untold stories of the Indian experience abroad, providing insights that will resonate with many in similar shoes.
