In many ways, traveling anywhere alone can not only help a person build a clearer or more in-depth understanding of oneself, but also the world around them from a perspective that wouldn’t have been obtainable while in ones home nation. So traveling abroad with a life-long partner can offer the same elements, but on a level that has twice the impact, exploration and memories.

This episode we sit down for chat with two British expats now living in the land of the Toronto Maple Leafs. That’s right, I’m talking about the great White North, and polite Northern neighbor, Canada. Emma and Stewart are Londoners who join us to share their experience living and integrating in the Canadian workforce. Hear why they decided to head abroad before, in their words, “It’s too late”.

Even though this wonderful couple is currently living in a host nation that has many of the same local habits, customs and utilizes the same language as their home nation. Hear how they describe the differences between their home and host nation while, at the same time, adjusting to terms used in their normal communications.

We are happy to sit down for a chat with a German expat world traveler who is at the time of this episode residing in the United States. Katharina Von Knobloch, who has vast experience in the corporate world as a marketing and business development manager, spends time with us from Chicago, Illinois to talk about her travels around the world both alone and with her husband.

When people see Katharina traveling alone, they often ask her why she is traveling without her partner. This type of question is perplexing to her because men who travel alone are almost never asked this type of question. Could there be a bit of travel inequality that exists and if so why?

Katharina is also a champion at helping women who travel with a partner find meaning in their lives. She helps women gain courage and find benefits while on their overseas journey whether they are raising a family or seeking a career.

Feeling intrigued about life overseas can be a catalyst for some people when deciding to pick up everything in their familiar environment to move on for a life abroad.

This fact, combined with the need to find something meaningful in life, can point someone in a direction that previously wouldn’t have been a topic of consideration.

This episode I sit down for chat with Holly Kooi. Holly is an American happily living overseas with her husband in Vienna, Austria.

Tune in to learn how this wonderful woman from Atlanta ended up in Vienna and, upon arrival, soon was forced to deal with and overcome personal transitional issues that nearly broke her.

In the end, Holly, keeping with her faith, may have been blessed with the exact timing that allowed her and her family to expand their horizons abroad.

Anyone who has lived overseas for an extended period of time has looked back at least once on their experience and wondered how they managed to overcome the cultural issues they faced while abroad. This may sound ridiculous but it never ceases to amaze how bits and peaces of cultural unawareness and bewilderment can later lead to an even deeper understanding and appreciation.

Most of what was stated above is encapsulated in the words of our guest this episode, Mr. Will Brooks. Will is an active blogger and web broadcaster from the West Coast of the United States but for this episode joins us from the place he now calls home, South Korea. Hear and follow how he and his Korean wife are raising their TCK child (third culture kid). Tune in to hear how Will learned to not let false impressions affect him and how his persistence helped him open doors that weren’t previously available.

Four Seas One Family - Embrace The Positive About Everyplace You Live - 4S1F65

What is the mindset that should be embraced when having to constantly relocate and adjust to life all over the world? Are there any positive pointers that can help make our overseas experiences more beneficial to not only ourselves, but also to those who we interact with during our journeys?

Surely, there isn't only one solution to solve all the problems or unforeseen situations we encounter while living abroad but there may be a mindset that we can live by to help us overcome and cope with obstacles while in unfamiliar environments.

Listen in to our wonderful Stateside connected conversation with Angie Drake. As a Third Culture Kid (TCK), Angie may have traveling coded deep within her DNA. Angie and her husband, who has a long career working for the U.S. government, have been traveling all over the world with their two boys. However, Angie has a special room in her heart for Ecuador and shares many of her overseas experiences through her photography that can be found at her website: Not Your Average American.

Listen in and hear why focusing on all the negatives of you overseas life just brings unneeded stress and why it’s better to learn to embrace the positive about everyplace you live.

Four Seas One Family - More Opportunities For Understandings - 4S1F64

American expat, Jason Hunter, in Southern Taiwan joins us on the podcast. As a result of his observations working in his profession, Jason is able to explain how businesses are more interconnected than ever. He points out that modern-day businesses simply can't and maybe shouldn’t do everything on their own. The reason is that international cooperations don't only benefit businesses, but also consumers in the long run.

He also demonstrates why it’s important for not only businesses to cooperate with each other, but also for nations as well. He points out that it wouldn’t be wise for national leaders to close a nation’s doors to the outside world. If nations are unable to source needed materials both abroad and into their nations, cost will rise and cross-border job opportunities will be lost.

The lead-in to this episode covers in detail the possible mindset of hate-ridden individuals during the sad events that occurred in Charlottesville, Virginia on August 13, 2017, which ended in the senseless loss of a life.

Four Seas One Family - 4S1F33 Amanda Bate: The Black Expat Identity

I’m very happy to have Ms. Amanda Bate as my guest on the podcast. Amanda was born in the US to Cameroonian parents and grew up in Africa. Amanda is also the founder of The Black Expat website.

The Black Expat website spotlights collected black expat experiences that are directly related to a black expat’s survival while living abroad. Also, parts of the website talks about issues that relate to raising children abroad and, in particular issues related to what Third Culture Kids (TCKs) face while living abroad and upon touching down in the nation of their parents birth.

Currently Amanda lives in Richmond, Virginia, where she works in educational consulting as a director of a college access program that assist low income and underrepresented minority students regarding their postsecondary education plans.

Amanda explains how she became an advocate of studying abroad and why she’s working to make studying abroad more accessible to minority students who normally wouldn’t even think about an educational experience beyond their nation’s border.

Thank you for listening to Four Seas One Family. We are all the same and at the same time uniquely different!

I’m very happy to have Ms. Amanda Bate as my guest on the podcast. Amanda was born in the US to Cameroonian parents and grew up in Africa. Amanda is also the founder of The Black Expat website.

The Black Expat website spotlights collected black expat experiences that are directly related to a black expat’s survival while living abroad. Also, parts of the website talks about issues that relate to raising children abroad and, in particular issues related to what Third Culture Kids (TCKs) face while living abroad and upon touching down in the nation of their parents birth.

Currently Amanda lives in Richmond, Virginia, where she works in educational consulting as a director of a college access program that assist low income and underrepresented minority students regarding their postsecondary education plans.

Amanda explains how she became an advocate of studying abroad and why she’s working to make studying abroad more accessible to minority students who normally wouldn’t even think about an educational experience beyond their nation’s border.
