Episode notes

What happens when you follow love across continents, from West to East? German national Saskia Groneberg Chitrak shares her unfiltered experience of migrating to India two decades ago. Saskia’s time in India has been a complex tapestry, marked by political clashes, navigating stark social and cultural differences, and, critically, finding immense joy. In this episode, we dive deep into the reality of reverse migration. Find out what it's truly like to build a life in the East and why this cross-continental journey is often overlooked or not celebrated in the same way as migration to the West.
