There are 177 different nationalities represented in Tasmania's population and in this podcast we try to talk with one person from each one, and find out about why they came to Tasmania, what they brought with them ( experiences, culture, traditions, skills, ideas etc), and their experiences of settling on a small and fairly isolated island state not known for being very multicultural. These are authentic stories from people from all corners of the globe who have made Tasmania their home and cover the full gamut of the migrant experience.

Michaela from Madagascar : Using the gift of "healing hands"

Madagascar is a unique and fascinating island nation off the east coast of Africa ,well-known for its incredible biodiversity, especially its famous lemurs. Less well known is its human and cultural diversity, with strong influences coming from Asia, Africa and Europe.

Michaela has lived in different places in Madagascar and is familiar with the different regional dialects and traditions of the country, and her own family background reflects a lot of the fascinating cultural diversity of this large island. She met her Tasmania husband online, and in her 40s, she came with her daughter to Tasmania to be with him. Like many new migrants, finding employment in Tasmania was not easy, and she found her 17 years' work experience in Madagascar working at various NGOs was not really regarded at all. However, she was eventually able to make the most of another talent - her "healing hands" , and now runs her own massage business in Hobart.
