Searching for Home
Searching for Home is a podcast where we discuss what we keep and what we leave behind from our past experiences. We unpack how we have moved from the homes, beliefs, and countries we grew up in to begin the never-ending quest of searching for home both inside and outside ourselves. Your hosts, Ronit and McKenna, come from India and the US, respectively, and currently both live in Grenoble, France. We seek to approach everything through a lens of kindness and curiosity, with a lot of laughter mixed in.
