The Hardest Thing is Taking The First Step - 4S1F94
01/30/19 • 31 min
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.

It’s Fine That I’m Not Perfect At This - 4S1F93
This episode we welcome, Nicole Palazzo. Nicole is an American expat living in Europe who is also an active podcaster. Nicole points out that from her location abroad it can sometimes be strange or even stressful for her to miss things from her home nation that she normally wouldn’t pay much attention to while living in her home nation.
Her comment brings out a point that living outside ones home nation can in many ways bring a person closer to the things he or she once overlooked or took for granted while living in their home nation. This is why some people who live outside their home nation try to look for or attempt to make a correlation between parts of other cultures that could be equivocated to elements or parts of their own culture. Now the truth is, most of the time, a cultural correlation may never be found. The only logical thing to do, in this case, is to learn how to except an overseas experience from the viewpoint of the people and culture it originated from.

Just Be The Way You Want To Be Treated By Others - 4S1F95
This episode we welcome, Charu Pathni, an Indian expat living and working for a major car manufacturer in Germany. Charu is a very focused and energetic lady who has not only persevered, but also surpassed traditional roles held for women from her home nation.
Even though she hasn’t lived in every part of the world, Charu calls herself a world citizen because, in her words, “People are people and it doesn’t really matter where I come from or where my roots are from. Home is just where I can feel comfortable with the people around”.
Because of her optimistic and positive approach to living in her host nation, Charu’s overseas experience has allowed her to learn that she is a lot more adaptable than she thinks.
