Mehr Kitchen Conversations, Building a Life in Athens

What does it really mean to build a life in another country? Hosted by Jaime, an American who has called Athens home for more than 25 years, "Kitchen Conversations" brings people together around a small kitchen table to share honest stories about living, working, loving, and growing in Athens. Through warm, intimate conversations with other foreigners who have made Athens their home, this podcast explores the joys, challenges, cultural surprises, and everyday moments that shape a life abroad. Pull up a chair, pour yourself a cup of coffee, and join the conversation.

Episode 4: Soraja Hadzalic-Oskarshamn, Sweden

In this episode, Soraja talks about living abroad before eventually moving to Athens, and the social burnout that pushed her toward change. She discusses receiving a job offer in Greece, adapting to Athenian work culture, and her surprise at discovering that Greeks can seem reserved at first-but deeply generous once they truly know you. The conversation explores her eventual love for Athens, discovering the city through basketball, nightlife, dating culture, and meeting her husband Kostas. Soraja also speaks about integration, getting married both at the courthouse and on the beach, navigating the Covid lockdown in Athens, and the exceptional care she received during pregnancy and childbirth compared to Sweden. Jaime and Soraja also discuss naming her boys, small but memorable experiences with racism, the "Antifa" neighbourhood of Exarcheia, an unexpected encounter there involving anarchists, the new metro construction in the area, and advice for anyone dreaming of building a life in Athens. And finally, Soraja turns the tables on Jaime -encouraging her to begin sharing her own story on the podcast.
