Expat Life is a LIE
Alright, let's dive right into the nitty-gritty of expat life. There's a lot of talk about living abroad, but let's face it, not everything you hear is the gospel truth. So, let's get real for a moment. Before packing those bags, it’s crucial to do some serious research. Know what you’re getting into, because the cost of living isn’t always what it’s cracked up to be. It varies, depending on where you’re headed and how you like to live.... On the topic of languages though, don’t assume you can get by with English alone in non-English speaking countries. It’s essential to learn the local language (and customs) if you want to truly be part of the community. And let’s squash that myth right now – living abroad is not a never-ending vacation. It’s life, just in a different place. Feeling lonely? That’s part of the package when moving to another country. It’s normal, especially in the beginning. But use that time wisely. And don’t get thrown off by cultural differences. What’s logical in one place might not make sense in another. In this living abroad expat podcast episode of Not Your Average Globetrotter, we'll take a no-nonsense look at expat life.
