Asia. America. The East and the West. The city the two girls grew up in is vastly different from the city they’re in right now. This podcast is for you guys who feel like ‘home’ meant more than just a place or a person, that you’re kind of stuck in the middle. Janice and Jacqueline share their journey on everything: being international students, having different mindsets while dating, culture shocks, and anything else you might think of!
