🌏 🐝 What happens when a shy German scientist dares to trade her lab coat for a one-way ticket abroad? Hanna Marks, a Berlin native who left her stable job in biological research β€” including working on honeybee diseases β€” to pursue a more meaningful life overseas.

In the latest episode of Expat Experts, I sit down with Hanna Marks, who left behind a secure job in science to chase something deeper: freedom. After years of working in a lab β€” including researching bee diseases 🐝 β€” Hanna took a solo trip to NYC that changed everything.

We talk about:
πŸš€ How she overcame fear as a shy, introverted woman
πŸ”¬ Why she left her scientific career to go abroad
πŸ’₯ Her biggest lessons from life as an expat
🌱 The personal transformation that came with travel
