In this, more recent episode, Chanel discusses the hard work and sacrifices that had to happen for her to live abroad. Many people assume her parents have paid for her travels or that she is one of the "lucky" ones to get out and travel, but as a latin woman, the reality is deeper than just "luck." I hope you enjoy.
