“Never a failure, always a lesson.”
Here are some of the lessons concluded by our expat girls. These are not motivational quotes, but real life experiences. The statements are based on months and years of living in a new country, with the good, the bad, but always interesting stories:
- There is always time to relax and enjoy your day.
- Everybody’s opinion counts and you should speak up.
- You can be whoever and whatever you want.

- Working your ass off for people who really need help can bring you immense satisfaction and change the way you look at life.
- Put a little love into everything you touch.
- Tolerance is key to everything.
- Treat life, as it is your real life: make real connections with people and treat your friends like they could last a lifetime.
