This episode is about the story of Dana Lee Johnson, a girl from the state of Idaho that would move to the Basque Country with her college sweetheart that she met in high school when he was an exchange student in her school.
Dana tells her story of moving to Ataun a small village in the Basque Country where not only did she have to learn Spanish, but also Basque since that's the primary language in Ataun and in the neighboring towns.
She shares her experience about making friends, learning languages, and teaching in a country whose education system is different than in the U.S.
Tune in to listen to Dana's story of immigration and her advice for anyone contemplating moving to another country.
