Moving Abroad in Your 20s: How to Find a Job, Make Friends & Adjust to a New Culture with Naomi Cambridge

Moving abroad sounds exciting, but let’s be honest — it also sounds really overwhelming. Between finding work, making new friends, and adjusting to a totally different culture, where do you even start?

I haven’t done it myself (yet!), but I’ve always wondered how people make it work. So this week, I’m chatting to someone who has done exactly that.

Meet Naomi Cambridge, a fellow podcast host and all-round lovely person  who moved from Barbados to England just over a year ago. She shares her honest experience of navigating culture shock, finding a job, and learning to feel at home in a completely new place.

✨ In this episode, we cover:

• The emotional roller-coaster of starting over in a new country
• How Naomi found work and adjusted to a new working culture 
• Dealing with homesickness 
• What the phrase “tuck in” means and how it’s helped Naomi
