Premium Episode #1 - Karina Holmer (Patreon)

In March 1996, Karina prepared to leave her small village of fewer than 100 people for Dover, which had a population of around 4,000. Although outgoing and social, Karina was quite dependent on her friends and family. By working in America, she hoped to show her parents that she could stand on her own two feet.

Karina was happy and excited as she farewelled her family at the airport. Just before she boarded the plane, she said: “I hope I’m doing the right thing.”
