Ines Bellina
But You Can't Stay Here
A podcast about going back to where you came from…and whether that was the best or worst decision ever, created and hosted by writer Ines Bellina. After 18 years in the United States, writer Ines Bellina needed a break. She was over its frenetic pace, its fever pitch polarization, its freaking price of eggs. She decided to move back to her home country, Peru, swearing it was a temporary move. But she’s been in Lima for two years now and she needs to figure out whether she should stay for good or go back to the life she left behind. Follow Ines as she weighs that decision in real time by talking to experts, discussing with friends and family, and processing out loud with brutal honesty and a dash of humor what it would mean for her to really make a life in Peru. Hopefully she can come to a resolution before the next anniversary comes around—or the complete downfall of the world order as we know it, whichever comes first.
