Maria’s ‘Almost Local’ podcast tackles something many of us experience but rarely discuss—the complex process of making a foreign country truly feel like home. Maria creates space for both the vulnerability and resilience that shape the immigrant journey. Thank you, Maria. Your podcast fills an important gap—giving voice to stories that connect us across cultures and borders. Karina from New Zealand.
