Exploring what happens when you have a desire to learn a different language, and that desire takes you LITERALLY out of the country! 

In this poetic and personal 2-part episode series of My Solo Chronicles, I sit down with Prism, who as a student in 2018, spent a transformative year alone in Germany. We trace the inner and outer landscapes of her solo journey—from taking on the challenge of climbing 533-spiral stairs of the Cologne Cathedral in Germany and visiting unfamiliar streets, to the quiet moments that shaped her from within.

We talk about navigating solitude in a foreign country, and the subtle art of adapting without losing yourself.

Join us as we reflect on how living abroad alone wasn’t just about travel and education, but about learning to listen to herself, to grow through discomfort, and to come home with a deeper understanding of who she is.
