Hi everyone,

Please welcome with me Chandini Kumar from Kerala which is in South India. Cha came to New Zealand in March 2020, just 2.5 weeks before the major lockdown due to the outbreak of Covid19. Cha did her studies in aqua culture at the NMIT (Nelson Marlborough Institute of Technology) in Nelson, on the South Island of New Zealand and is now living up on the North Island of the country.

In this episode Cha is talking about her memories of going into a countrywide lockdown only a few weeks after she arrived in New Zealand. She is sharing her experience of studying during a pandemic and doing most of her courses online.

What challenges appeared with this new type of learning?
What did she miss out on?
Did it have any positive impacts on her overseas experience?

She will also dive into her journey of finding the right job and navigating the new life abroad.

It definitely has changed her in more than only one way :)
