Week 45: Between Two Worlds: Finding Identity and Belonging with Andrea Fahmel

In this episode of Plus Forty Nine, we speak with Andrea Fahmel,
who grew up between Mexico and Germany - two cultures that shaped
her identity, language, and sense of belonging. Andrea shares what
it’s like to live with a “liquid identity,” how German communities
in Mexico kept traditions alive, and why directness something she
once found intimidating has become one of her favorite parts of
German culture. Together, they talk about homesickness in the age
of social media, the power of language in shaping integration, and
the quiet lessons learned when you start understanding not just a
country’s words, but its rhythm.
