MENGENAI EPISOD INI
There’s a sense of freedom and a chance of learning a new perspective when traveling between, or living in different countries. Who better to learn about this than from Julian Jordan: polyglot, design enthusiast, and adventurer who has lived on three different continents! Today, we find out what Julian means when he talks about the “spidey sense” he feels when moving somewhere new, and how he defines what it means to be fluent in a language (so much more than simple syntax!). He tells us how the “spidey sense” opened his eyes and broadened the lens through which he sees the world, and why he feels it’s almost a high. We find out how he first felt this high when traveling for football, and what a mentor meant when he told Julian about the Fireman Theory. Find out the importance of curiosity in life, and how Julian keeps travel and adventure exciting when the scaffolding of life starts to rise. We hear three excellent ideas to get to know the place you are living, and a funny anecdote of how things can get lost in translation. Tune in to find out how the histories of different countries affect people's identity and some sage advice on why friends from different areas of interest or cultures are great for your worldview. We look forward to you joining us on this adventure!
