Stories That Feel Like Yours

Celine

French Student University of Chicago

I wish I had this realistic support when arriving in the USA. It would have made the journey so much less painful. Navigating visas and the job market was incredibly difficult for me and for nearly all my international friends. Having someone who understands the emotional, cultural, and practical challenges of living abroad would’ve changed everything. This helped me prepare not just for going abroad, but also for coming back—something so many internationals overlook. This kind of honest, human guidance is truly invaluable.

Exchange Student in Sweden

It helped me understand life outside my own culture. Connecting with someone who truly understands what it means to be far from home made all the difference. The guidance I received opened my eyes to new perspectives, helped me feel less alone, and made navigating a foreign country much less overwhelming. I felt seen, supported, and encouraged every step of the way.

Henri

French Job Seaker new to the US

Competent, passionate, and truly supportive—exactly what I needed in the U.S. job market. It’s incredibly hard to find someone who not only understands the complexity of moving abroad but genuinely cares about helping you succeed. I felt guided, motivated, and empowered during a time when I was unsure of my next steps. I gained clarity, confidence, and a sense of belonging I didn’t expect. Why go anywhere else?
