Have you ever thought about taking your studies international? What about starting out a new business venture abroad? What challenges and opportunities might arise, and how do you overcome them?In this episode, I chat to Kyle du Toit, who left South Africa to pursue his studies in Budapest, Hungary, before later working in Austria and eventually returning to Hungary to try his hand at entrepreneurship. I really enjoyed hearing Kyle’s story, because he’s so obviously adventurous and open-minded. He wasn’t afraid to take risks and try new things. It was inspiring to learn how he navigated language barriers, adapted to new cultures, and has managed to stay connected with family and friends back home.If you’re considering a future abroad, or just want to hear a relatable story about life after leaving South Africa, I think you’ll really enjoy this episode.“I wanted to move abroad just to spread my wings.” - Kyle du Toit00:00 Introduction04:32 An entrepreneurial mindset07:05 Studying at an international university 09:21 Overcoming the language barrier14:45 Work experience abroad17:11 Impression of SA nowadays19:33 What he misses most about SA21:30 Reflecting on making mistakes 23:52 Advice for moving abroad25:01 Favourite things about BudapestThis podcast was produced by the team at Zapods Podcast Agency:https://www.zapods.com
