We live in a global village! Immigrating is more common now than ever before but if you are an expat, as I have been a few times in my life, you will know how difficult it is to find your rhythm and make your mark.  But immigrating can be the most rewarding experience if you are open to redesigning your life.

I chat with Hannah Pirnie, founder of Translating Me, an Identity Project that is designed to empower expats everywhere to invest their skills, talents and opportunities to make the best of their time! After all, you want to show something for your time when you return home.
