Ania Banach is my host for the #7 episode of Women Abroad podcast. Ania is Polish and she is a university teacher working as an assistant professor in linguistics.


In a very introspective way, she reopens very dense pages of her life first in Northern Ireland as a PHD student then in Oman as a College teacher.  

She explores different aspects of expatriation such as the freedom of movement as a woman abroad, the importance of the religious environment in our cultural adjustment abroad and the beautiful bridging connections beyond cultural differences.

As she says later in the interview, It is not always so easy to talk openly of an experience abroad. 


Looking back in time, this transformational journey of being abroad is still resonating in her. She reflects how these experiences abroad raised her awareness about other cultures and allowed her to better put her own culture into perspective.  


Her living abroad deeply questioned her motivations, her contributive presence to the world and is still a source of curiosity nourishing her wish to step on to her next move.
