“Brave Enough to Ask Stupid Questions”: approaching Europeans, keeping faith, and surviving without spicy food
Description
In this episode, our guest is Abdiel — a true global student who studied across three continents: undergraduate studies in Mexico, a research project in the USA, an internship in Chile, and a joint master’s program in Belgium and France.
We talk about his first cultural confusions in Europe (including meeting European girls), where he found the spiciest food, and how he managed to travel so much for his studies while dealing with homesickness. As a Christian, staying connected to his faith and core values was also central to his journey — and Abdiel shares how he found support for that abroad.
And of course, how is he brave enough to ask “stupid questions”? Tune in to hear the story of a Mexican student navigating life and studies in Europe.
Please enjoy!
