Description:

How is it like to live in Finland as a Burmese?

Join us for an intimate conversation with Khin, an international
student in Vaasa, as she unpacks what it truly means to live
between cultures.

From her upbringing to navigating her Burmese heritage in a place
where that culture is almost invisible, Khin shares the quiet
tensions, unexpected joys, and layered realities of building a
life far from home in Finland.

This episode dives into identity, belonging, why Finland is
regarded as the happiest country in the world, and of
course—Burmese food that carries the taste of memory.

What does it mean to hold on, adapt, and redefine who you
are?Tune in and see it for yourself.
