Welcome back! Today I interview Sara Mušek from Zagreb, Croatia. I didn't know very much about Croatia or Croatian politics but Sara clued me in. In a country only about 30 years old, Sara tells me there is massive corruption in Croatia and the biggest problem lies in that the population is not very politically active. In this discussion we compare Croatia many times to the United States, in the generational gap that exists, political disinterest, and Covid-19 disbelief.

Today I talk with Izzy McBean, an Australian living in Austria. Izzy is currently completing her International Baccalaureate diploma and most likely plans on attending college aboard in the Netherlands. We talk about political issues facing Austria, such as the rise in right-wing nationalism and the aging population. We also discuss the generation gap in Austria between GenZ and the older populations.

Malou is currently studying International Relations and Chinese at the London School of Economics and Political Science and hopes to pursue a career in diplomacy.

Welcome back! This week I interviewed Sará, from Hungary. I met Sará over a group chat with students interested in studying in the Netherlands. We talked about studying aboard, our travels, and her life Hungary. More seriously we discussed the issues surrounding homophobia and religious intolerance in Hungary and the differences in the Hungarian language compared to neighboring countries.
