The decision is to pack up and move away from your extended family, friends, and culture to live in a foreign land. Perhaps for work, to broaden opportunities, education, love or adventure, or simply to live a better or a different life. We imagine it might be a certain way, but it’s a leap into the unknown.

Beth interviews three women from different countries (India, Singapore and Brazil) speaking anonymously and talking together. They share their stories of what it was like to emigrate to Australia and how it has altered them. It's an intriguing, winding and frank conversation over two episodes.
