021 [EN]: Mariana Monsalve - Travel, Languages, and Growth (Civil Engineer from Colombia)

In this episode, Mariana Monsalve – a Civil Engineer from Envigado, Colombia – joins me to discuss the benefits of traveling and learning languages. Whether you are traveling for work, fun, or otherwise, discovering new places, cultures, languages, and people has life-changing potential.

Mariana has extensive experience learning English and traveling the world. She has traveled in London, UK, studied in Sydney, Australia, and was an Au Pair in Boston, USA. Throughout her travels, she learned a lot, grew as a person, and created some incredible memories. Today, she shares her recommendations for traveling and learning languages, as well as her favorite food and travel destination!

From a scientific perspective, I’ll also discuss the neuroscience of language learning as a tool to improve cognition, fight off neurodegenerative diseases, and more!

NOTE: This is the English version. The Spanish version will be posted separately.
