🍃 but you're fun even though you're foreign — with Hedvig
12/08/21 • 55 min
Do you remember the first time you were called a foreigner?
On this episode I speak with Hedvig Sandbu, a language and learning coach, as she reflects on her upbringing between two countries, her sense of belonging compared to others around her, and her passion for languages. We speak about growing up in a bubble, attending international schools, and people's perception of us that may be different than our own. She shares how throughout the pandemic, her idea of belonging changed and she reveals just how ingrained the practice of being in nature is to her Norwegian roots.

"monsieur n'est même pas raciste, vu que monsieur n'a pas de racines" - Norwegian Philospher: Arne Næss

🐘 identity crisis: who am I? — about your host
A little different than the rest, this episode is where I introduce myself and reveal a little bit about me by answering three questions: Who am I? Why am I here? And why is it important to talk about identity? I dive into some of the different elements that make up my own ish, from cultural, to lingual, to religious, and reveal the worlds I grew up in-between. Confusion is a common thread running throughout my life, and I know other Cross-Cultural Kids can relate to that.

We discuss his upbringing growing up between Australia, Egypt, Israel, Jordan, and the Netherlands. As we navigate his experiences in the different countries, we touch upon discrimination, being white-passing, and the desire to fit in.
