Today’s episode we will chat with Nico Delabella, an engineer from Italy that now lives in São Paulo, Brazil after a long ride of choosing the unexpected path and making it work in the best way possible.

His decisions took him from a small town in Italy to studying in Spain, completing a masters and starting an internship in Panama, and eventually building a life and career in a different continent. He now works for a multinational company managing teams all across Latin America.

In this episode we'll cover topics like learning languages, adapting to new cultures, the reality of not following the usual, and what it really means to build your life abroad trusting your gut.

Nico is full of energy, very insightful, and I think like myself, you’ll love hearing how he’s turned curiosity and openness into a global career.
