Queries on living abroad

Planning to study or work abroad and not sure what to expect? I’ve lived it.

With two international degrees (University of Manchester – UK and NYIT – USA), 6+ years of work experience, and a post-grad life that led to a six-figure job before graduation—I understand the unspoken challenges and realities of life abroad.

What We Can Cover:

• What to really expect in the first 3–6 months abroad
• Housing tips (finding safe, affordable options)

You’ll leave this session with clear answers, practical tips, and peace of mind—whether you’re days away from flying out or still deciding if this leap is right for you.
