Hey there, I'm Marcelo, and in this episode, I share my experience returning to my home country of Peru after being away for six years.
I'll take you through the highs and lows, from spending time with family and friends to dealing with safety concerns and political situations. I also reflect on the personal struggles I faced, including my parents' initial disapproval of my return and a family feud.
But it wasn't all negative. I rediscovered my love for Peruvian food and spent quality time with my friends. Through this journey, I came to realize that while Peru will always be my country of origin, it's no longer my home.
Join me as I share my lessons learned and explore what the concept of "home" means to me.
