(PART 2): How do you spell retired? For Kenric, it’s spelled a place at the beach.
EXPAT CONSULTING PODCAST
07/08/22 • 53 min
If you're looking for how to spell retired, just look for a place at the beach! My guest for episode 27 of the Are we home yet ? podcast is Kenric, an American, retired after 20 years of military service. When Kenric retired, he wanted to find a place where he could relax and enjoy the sun and sand. Kenric made a plan to travel through Central America, headed down to Honduras, where the beaches are beautiful and the people are friendly. Kenric found an apartment right on the beach and has been living there for a few months. If you're looking for a place to retire, Honduras, and a place at the beach, is a great choice!
Honduras is a Central American country with a population of nearly nine million people. Honduras is also well-known for its rich culture, which is evident in its music, dance, and art. The country has a long history of political instability, and its economy has been greatly impacted by violence and crime. In recent years, Honduras has made significant strides in combating these issues, and it is now considered to be one of the safest countries in Central America. Despite these challenges, Honduras remains a beautiful and welcoming country that is worth exploring.
Honduras is best known for its pristine beaches, which are some of the best in Central America. The country's coastline stretches for over 700 miles, and there are dozens of beautiful beach towns to explore. From the surfing mecca of Tela to the laid-back island of Roatán, there's something for everyone in Honduras. Visitors can enjoy plenty of activities on the water, such as snorkeling, diving, fishing, and kayaking. On land, there's hiking, bird watching, and horseback riding. And of course, no trip to Honduras would be complete without sampling the delicious seafood cuisine. With so much to offer, it's no wonder that Honduras is one of the most popular tourist destinations in the region.
There's something about the beach that just makes Kenric feel at peace. Maybe it's the sound of the waves crashing against the shore, the warm sun on his skin, the sand under his feet, or the scuba diving that he's recently learned how to do. Whatever it is, he can't help but feel relaxed living on the beach.
I told Kenric during the interview that I know exactly how he feels. When I was younger, I would spend my summers in my homeland of Panama (Central America) , where my Afrolatina heritage comes from. My aunts, uncles, and cousins, and I would spend time at a place at the beach several weekends during the summer. We would spend all day swimming, building sandcastles, surfing, and collecting shells. Even though I'm all grown up now, I still love going to the beach, and getting a place at the beach. Whether I'm going for a walk along the shore, or just sitting and watching the waves, I always feel better after spending some time at the beach.

The Jewish community helped Shlomo give his Beijing House a feeling of home
EXPAT CONSULTING PODCAST
07/29/22 • 35 min
When Shlomo, an online marketing manager for a company that helps students, moved to Beijing, he was looking for a sense of community and familiarity. He found that in the Jewish community, which helped him give his Beijing House a feeling of home. The close-knit community offered him a support system, something that he was missing after leaving his family and friends behind in Israel.
An internship program and learn Chinese program brought Shlomo from Israel to Beijing, Shlomo eventually became more involved in the entrepreneurship community in Beijing, led a meetup group with monthly events and weekly events of entrepreneurship, and built a company that helped foreign apps distribute into the Chinese market. Listen to Episode 32 of the Are we home yet? podcast, to hear how Shlomo created a business in Beijing China, became a financial coach, and how Israel means home to him.
As an expat, Shlomo mentioned that figuring out how to get utilities turned on for a Beijing residence can be a struggle of being an expat. In Beijing, the apartment complexes are typically served by a central utility system that provides electricity, water, and other services to the residents. The utility system is usually managed by the property management company that oversees the complex. As a result, residents generally don't have to worry about paying for utilities individually.
A feeling of home
There's more than just utilities that goes into giving a place a feeling of home. For most people, home is a place of comfort and security. It's a refuge from the outside world, a place where we can relax and be ourselves. But for some, home is a more complicated concept. For them, home isn't necessarily a physical place. Instead, it's a state of mind, an emotional space that we carry with us wherever we go.
Take, for example, someone who grows up in multiple countries. They might not have one specific place that they call home. Instead, a feeling of home for some is wherever their family is. Or consider someone who has to move constantly for their job. For them, a feeling of home might be wherever they happen to be living at the moment. In both cases, a feeling of home is less about a physical location and more about a feeling of safety and belonging.
So what does it mean to have a feeling of home? For Shlomo, it's about feeling like he belongs, like he's part of a community, and that home is in Israel, no matter where he goes with his family to live, several months out of the year.
Financial Coach jobsShlomo is a financial coach and going to be giving a speech at a digital nomad conference in Bulgaria and is eager for his family to join him.
Website flipping
Website flipping is a great way to make money as a financial coach, which is something that Shlomo also does. There are a few different ways to do this, but the basic idea is to buy low-traffic website for a low price, improve it in some way, and then sell it for a higher price. This can be done by increasing the traffic to the website, improving the content, or adding new features.
The best part of website flipping is that it can be done entirely online! So if you're looking for a way to make money as a financial coach, website flipping is definitely worth considering.

Voice talent Stevy, living in Rwanda , a new home led to creating a thriving business.
EXPAT CONSULTING PODCAST
05/24/22 • 48 min
Today’s guest is Stevy, an expat from Gabon who spent 17 years in Ghana and is currently living in Rwanda. He’s a conference interpreter, voiceover coach, English teacher, motivational speaker, and businessowner.
Stevy was still in high school when he left for Ghana. He worked freelancing jobs around West Africa and Kenya until he fell in love with Rwanda. He loves the cooler climate, the fresh, clean food, and the quiet atmosphere. He moved during a 2020 lockdown and set up a voiceover booth in his wardrobe. His wife and child joined him from Kenya 6 months later.
What he discovered living in Rwanda, and in researching voice talent gigs, was that there is a rising demand for voiceovers, narrators, and interpreters with a natural African accent. This led him to found Gemini Multimedia, a network of voice talent available for projects, so that he can provide opportunities and help alleviate poverty in Africa.
The visa process in Rwanda was very easy for Stevy and his family. The president removed the fee and gave anyone from one of the 54 African states 30 days for free to visit, and members of the East African community can stay for 6 months. The cost of living in Rwanda in cheaper, an example of that is the Rwandan business license, which is remarkably less expensive than in Ghana.
Living in Rwanda, Stevy has found true peace of mind. He enjoys the presence of security forces, the quietness even in highly populated areas, and the openness of the people. In terms of struggles, the biggest problem he’s encountered is communication. There are language barriers that get in the way of doing everyday business.
Stevy does consider Rwanda his forever home. His plan, once he has enough money, is to have properties in many different places, but his definition of home is wherever you can find the peace and joy that you’re looking for.

Amy, on creating a home as an ESL teacher in Beijing, which was cut short due to Covid
EXPAT CONSULTING PODCAST
05/20/22 • 36 min
In this podcast episode, Amy, whom I met when we were both teaching for Disney English in Beijing, shares her experience of creating a home in Beijing and offers advice for future expats who may find themselves in a similar situation.
When she saw an ad looking for English teachers in China with Disney English she thought why not? She didn’t know anything about China. When Amy moved to China to teach English as a Second Language, she didn’t know anything about the country. She was unsure of what to expect, and had to rely on YouTube videos and online research to learn about her new home.She also tried reaching out to people who had already been there, ESL teaching, and everyone was just so helpful in getting me settled and finding an apartment and getting acclimated to the culture shock of living in China for the first time. However, once she arrived, she quickly realized that there is so much more to China than she could have ever imagined. The history, the culture, and the food are just a few of the things that make China such a fascinating place. And through her work as an English as Second Language teacher, she has had the opportunity to help other people discover all that this country has to offer.
Her parents were concerned but she just reassured them and showed them that she was safe. During her Whatsapp calls she showed them around her neighborhood, her apartment, and made them feel like they were a part of it as well, and in a way, it stopped her from feeling very like homesick.
When Amy thinks about what home means to her, she thinks of a place where she can be comfortable and herself around the people who she enjoys spending time with. For Amy, that place was Beijing. Although she spent less than one year living in Beijing as a teacher she absolutely loved it. She misses it every day. Beijing was a place where she felt like she belonged.
As an ESL teacher, Amy felt like she had a real impact on her students’ lives. Amy still dreams about going back to Beijing all the time. But even though she’s no longer living there, Beijing will always hold a special place in her heart as her home away from home. Teaching English in Beijing was an amazing experience and she would recommend it to anyone!To hear more about being an English as Second Language teacher in Beijing or living in Adelaide, tune in to episode 14 of the Are We Home Yet Podcast!

Educator Keesha, her teaching in china salary gives her a comfortable home and life in China
EXPAT CONSULTING PODCAST
04/15/22 • 49 min
Most of us grow up with a certain plan in mind. That plan is usually a “we’re going to live here, we’re going to get a particular degree, get a little house, and spend the rest of our lives, just hanging out.”
But what if that didn’t have to be the plan?
That’s exactly what the guest on this week’s podcast on the Are we home yet podcast , Keesha, thought!
Keesha was working as a teacher’s assistant in the UK. She loved working with kids, but it still wasn’t the most satisfying life. She wanted to be able to make the most out of her life and her career, so she started looking.
She wanted to figure out what she could do that would give her job satisfaction but also life satisfaction, and eventually landed on the conclusion that she could teach in China, and well; her findings were very interesting.
While you can hear all about Keesha’s experiences on this week’s podcast, the conversation with her gave me enough insight to put together a little moving abroad guide (link below)!
Here's a cool thing, her teaching in China salary.
Not only is she making a lot more money in China, but since the cost of living is lower , she’s able to have a much higher standard of living while doing the job that she really loves! This makes all aspects of teaching worth it for her.
Keesha’s journey gives a lot of insight into what it’s really like to make the shift from teaching in the UK to teaching in China, and if you want to know more about it, tune in to episode 4 of the Are we home yet Podcast with Keesha!

Founder of Esl Cafe, Dave Sperling, on the benefits of moving abroad, making a home in different countries
EXPAT CONSULTING PODCAST
04/05/22 • 43 min
Want to move all around the world but don’t know if you can handle it?
Most of us go through that phase at least once in our lives where we dream of moving abroad, we just want to pack up our bags and move to another country. In the past, that might’ve been extremely difficult, technology was lacking, and there were far too many barriers that restricted everyone’s movement. Not only that, but a severe lack of information about the world as a whole also made people wish and wish to move but left them in a space where they couldn’t do anything about it.
I had a conversation with Dave Sperling, who spent many years of his life moving from one place to another, and each time, there were things he expected and things that would sneak up on him.
We will be taking a closer look at what it’s like to move abroad, all the fun things you should look forward to, and the not so fun ones, along with how you can cope with the curve balls moving abroad might throw your way to make your move, a lot easier!

If I want to move abroad where do I start? Expat Teacher and contented traveller, Janeen, talks about how she did it.
EXPAT CONSULTING PODCAST
09/20/22 • 63 min
Janeen has lived in Kuwait, Turkey, and now Ecuador. She has been away from America for 7 years, and finds that the definition of home is a bit skewed now. Janeen wondered what else was out there and found that the teaching profession in America did not provide enough of a teaching salary for her to enjoy traveling abroad regularly. Therefore, living in a more centralized place for travel, afforded her more travel. As a teacher from America she easily found work teaching at an international school abroad and was able, in 2 years, to get out of debt, accrued from student loans. Janeen found that the best financial packages were from schools in the Middle East and Asia, and she chose Kuwait. Janeen found the teaching opportunities through the following websites: teachaway.com and TIEonline.com. Janeen eventually wanted to take a break from working and had saved enough money to do so. She then relocated to a Latin American country, Ecudaor, which was very affordable. Janeen is teaching English , 20 hours a week online and also discovering what other options, skill sets, abilities, she has that can translate outside classroom. She has the flexibility to choose her schedule now and travel more and enjoy her free time more.
If you want more inside knowledge about life in Kuwait , life in Istanbul / Turkey , life in Ecuador , and want to listen to Janeen talk about teaching, that she chose teaching because she wanted to help children to learn , work with children, and help them to learn to read, tune into episode 47.

More than 10 benefits of the travel bug: a traveling professional teacher discusses how wonderful it is to teach and travel
EXPAT CONSULTING PODCAST
09/06/22 • 31 min
Kandis, a traveling professional teacher, caught the travel bug, and maybe you're reading this article because you have too. Do you love to travel but don't want to spend all your money doing it? Or maybe you're looking for a way to get paid to teach while seeing the world. If so, then teach and travel! That might be the perfect solution for you. Keep reading to find out the more than 10 benefits of having caught the travel bug, or click below to listen to episode 43 guest of the Are We Home Yet podcast, Kandis, a traveling professional teacher.
The Travel Bug
The travel bug is a common saying that refers to the desire to travel. The travel bug is a popular term used to describe the desire to explore new countries and cultures. The travel bug is a strong and often irresistible urge to travel. For some people, the travel bug manifests itself as a desire to see new places and experience different cultures. For others, the travel bug is more about adventure and less about destination. No matter what form it takes, the travel bug can be a powerful force.
And once you've been bitten by the travel bug, there's no turning back.
The best way to satisfy the travel bug is to get out there and start exploring. There are so many amazing places to see and things to do in the world, and the only way to experience them is to hit the road. So if you're feeling the itch to travel, don't fight it. Embrace your inner wanderlust and let the adventure begin.
For many people, this means taking a gap year or semester abroad to teach English or work in another country. However, the travel bug can strike at any age. There are plenty of opportunities for older adults to travel, whether it's through volunteering, working temporarily in another country, or simply taking a long vacation. Travel can be an extremely rewarding experience, providing a chance to learn about other cultures and see the world from a new perspective.
So if you're feeling the itch to travel, don't let anything hold you back. There's no better time than now to start exploring.
For some people, the feeling to travel is triggered by a specific event, such as hearing about a new destination or seeing an interesting place on TV. For others, the travel bug may be more general, leading them to feel restless and wanting to explore different parts of the world.
Regardless of its cause, the travel bug can be a strong motivator, leading people to plan trips, save money, and even quit their jobs in order to pursue their wanderlust. While the travel bug may seem like a simple case of wanderlust, it can have a profound impact on someone's life, leading them to experience new cultures, meet new people, and see the world in a whole new light.
The travel bug can help people learn a lot about different cultures and customs. It can also be a great way to meet new friends from all over the world. Traveling can be a great way to learn more about other countries and their customs. It can also be a great way to teach people about your own culture and customs.
Traveling can also be a great way to meet new friends from all over the world. You can learn about their cultures and customs, and you can also teach them about your own culture and customs. Traveling can be a great way to learn about different cultures and customs, and it can also be a great way to meet new friends from all over the world.
Traveling is very doable when you work abroad.
Kandis affords travel by being a traveling professional teacher. Kandis began teaching in America and is currently a teacher in Mexico.
These are the 13 compelling reasons to be a traveling professional teacher. The many places around the world where Kandis has been able to travel to: Indonesia, Thailand, France, Italy, Brazil, Peru, Chile, Panama, Honduras, Guatemala, El Salvador, St Martins, Bahamas.
