À propos de cet audio
In this compelling episode of #OldAsianLady, we sit down with Karen Chung, a linguist and retired NTU professor whose life is a testament to the quiet, profound transformation that comes with staying—staying in a place, in a culture, and in the uncertainty of one's own evolving identity.Originally from the U.S., Karen arrived in Taiwan over 4 decades ago and found a home. She has woven herself into the fabric of a country that, in many ways, grew alongside her.
Karen opens up about:
- Early love of languages and how Chinese became hers
- Academic journey from the US to a beloved professor in Taiwan
- Family, parenting, and identity shifts across cultures
- Mental and emotional shifts that come with solo living & aging abroad
Whether you're an expat, a language enthusiast, a solo traveler, or simply someone searching for deeper meaning in the ways we connect with places and people—Karen's story is a reminder that belonging is not about where you start, but about where you choose to stay.
