"Don’t be afraid to sail away from the shore and to accept change and to adapt. Because at the end of the day when you manage to do it, when everything works out, it’s just so worth it.” -- Arianne Alcorta, International multimedia correspondent

How do you jump into another country where you don’t know any of the languages, you don’t know anyone other than your new husband, and try to find work as a journalist – when your main job is talking to other people? Short answer: You figure it out.

Our guest this week is Arianne Alcorta, an international multimedia correspondent. She holds a masters degree from Columbia University and she worked as a reporter at Telemundo in Boston before uprooting her life and moving to Switzerland with her husband. Now, she's a freelance correspondent, a media trainer and professor. She shares her unique perspective on work-life balance, international news coverage and taking a giant leap of faith.
