In today’s show my guest is my daughter Pandora. She was 14 at the time we informed her about the move and today she will share what her experience with relocation was. Being a teenager is hard to understand why we took this decision and also being a parent you always try to do the best for your kids. So there is always a doubt if the time's right when moving with your kids. How this will affect their life, how they will integrate, which school they will attend are the questions we ask ourselves. But today let’s hear it directly from the teenager. How did this move affect her?

She shared how was it going to new school, finding new friends, missing home country, struggles when being away from her best friend and also grandparents.
