Ep.28: Full Circle Moment - A Conversation with Diane Schäfer-Surén

The Spark Podcast

In this solo episode, Meg caught up with the first foreign exchange student she knew who subsequently became one of her oldest and closest friends. Meg met Diane Schäfer-Surén in highschool on the Oregon Coast. The two take a walk down the memory lane, talking about all the instrumental moments that turned Diane’s foreign exchange experience into one of the best experiences in her life. Today, she works as a regional manager for Cultural Care Au Pair - the same company that made her foreign exchange student experience possible. For Diane, life has come full circle as she now spends her time facilitating au pair experiences for hundreds of young adults in Germany to spend a year in the United States with American families.
