Welcome to episode 91 of The American Dream in the Eyes of Immigrants Podcast. I am your host, Heidy De La Cruz, and I am on a mission to change the narrative of immigration one immigrant story at a time!

Tom, an American-born writer, shares his experiences living abroad, offering insights into cultural differences and the perception of the American Dream. His journey includes formative experiences in Germany, an extended stay in the Philippines, and current residence in Mexico City.

Listen in as Tom shares how his internship at Disney World led him to move to the Philippines and experience the 2020 lockdown overseas. 

With Love, Heidy
