What happens when you grow up Cambodian but schooled in French culture, and then land in Paris as a student? In this episode, Alice shares her story of growing up in Phnom Penh, attending the French high school there, and eventually making the leap to university life in France. We talk about culture shock, identity, and how she balances the influences of two very different worlds.

From the familiar streets of Phnom Penh to the sprawling cityscape of Paris, Alice reflects on what she’s gained, what she’s left behind, and how her sense of self continues to evolve.
