Carving Out Your Own Path with Lumi Draia - a podcast by Tina Jesso & Susan Hum
from 2020-05-26T10:00:35
Our guest today is one with an amazing story to tell, ESL Teacher and world traveler extraordinaire Lumi Draia!
In this episode, we dive into what life was like for Lumi growing up in post-communist Romania, what she learned throughout her time traveling the world, and how separating from her husband made her understand the importance of having shared values.
Lumi offers some wonderful perspective, as someone who has grown up in an entirely different political and cultural climate than us. We’re often so confined to our own viewpoints and opinions on the world around us, so it’s vital that we have conversations with those who have experienced life in such different and unique ways.
