A Midnight Chattering: Recent Episodes
Amalia Cahaya Putri
A Midnight Chattering is an unorganised podcast about life and studies of an Indonesian student living abroad. Recorded just before sleeping.
Amalia Putri (amaliaameel) is an Indonesian student studying in Venice, Italy. In the last 26 years of her life, she has been studying, exploring, working and living in a different part of the world: Indonesia, Australia, Italy and Turkey which taught her about life, culture, friendship, well-being and personal growth. She started "A Midnight Chattering" after she thought that her midnight thinking may be beneficial for others to listen to.
In today’s episode, Tiara and I talked about the hidden struggle of living abroad away from families and friends. Tiara in Germany and I in Australia and Italy. We shared stories about how living independently truly teaches us the meaning of hard work, value of money and the beauty of friendship, which lead us to celebrate even little achievements with gratitude.
In this episode I will share with you the things I have (or we have) taken for granted. This covid-19 period and being under lockdown for nearly 2 months now have opened my eyes and mind about several things: this period is meant to happen now than later so that we can be more grateful and change our mindset.
In this episode I cover what I have been doing so far under quarantine such as developing skills and trying to be mentally and physically healthy. Hope it gives you some ideas on what to do next!
