• #18 What It Takes to Hop the Pond
    Jul 26 2024

    Ready to make the leap across the Atlantic and embark on an international adventure? In this episode, we dive into the essential ingredients for successfully relocating abroad.

    First up: a healthy dose of naivete. After all, ignorance is bliss when you're blissfully unaware of all the challenges ahead!

    Next, sharpen your skills at sussing out your surroundings. Learn to navigate foreign supermarket aisles, decipher mysterious street signs, and blend in with the locals - even if that means wearing socks with sandals.

    Of course, it helps to already know how to adult before making the move. If you've mastered basics like doing laundry, cooking meals, and remembering to file taxes, you're halfway there. And for the stuff you haven't figured out yet, just wing it with confidence!

    Finally, embrace the risk and take the plunge! Moving abroad is a bold endeavor that requires equal parts courage and a carefree attitude. So pack your bags, bid farewell to familiarity, and get ready for an unforgettable journey across the pond. Bon voyage!
