Overseas for the Long Haul | Episode 03
When you moved overseas did you have a plan for how long you would stay? Did you imagine you'd be there for a long time, or are you considering staying longer than you originally planned? In this episode we had a conversation with Kim, our friend in Ukraine, about living overseas for the long haul. We talked about our initial plans when we moved overseas, persevering through times of doubt and hardship, and what we do, proactively, to remain and thrive in our life overseas.
Whether you plan to stay overseas for 2 years or 20 years, we hope this episode will be a blessing to you, and also a practical help. You are not alone! So grab your tea and your earbuds and let your heart be encouraged in this episode of "It's Tea Time Somewhere."

Moving, Arriving, and Landing (Abroad) without Face-Planting | Episode 05
At long last, Alicia is back! She's recovered from her whirlwind trip back to Indonesia, and her return inspired today's episode about moving overseas for the first time. In this episode, we discussed how we prepared when we first moved overseas, how we handled (and still handle) those wretched goodbyes, and what helped us when we landed in a new culture.
This discussion will hopefully be a practical help to all the newbies out there who are preparing for the big move, but also an encouragement to the long-timers. There are ways we can be welcoming and helpful to people landing overseas for the first time, and that kindness can make all the difference in the world.
