Aeron had always longed for a better life. He was born in the Philippines, a beautiful country but unfortunately, he grew up in a poor family.

He would only see her every two years.
12 years later, through hard work and determination, she managed to bring the whole family over to Canada. Aeron and his siblings were finally able to have a new start, an extraordinary “normal” life. They could now have all the opportunities they never had before.

When Marta and her husband decided to move to Japan, little did they know that they would also be starting a family. And while becoming a mother can be challenging for anyone, for Marta it was especially difficult. She had to learn how to navigate the Japanese healthcare system, deal with cultural differences, and learn new parenting skills all while adapting to life in a new country.

In this episode, she shares her experiences and offers advice to other mothers who may find themselves in a similar situation.

Marta is originally from Portugal. She lived in Spain, London, and now Japan. She also traveled the world as a flight attendant. Her first experience abroad was through a scholarship program called Erasmus. After that experience, she knew that her life was going to be away from Portugal.
The exposure to many different cultures was eye-opening. So years later, Marta managed to move to England and found a job thanks to her background in aviation.

Jason, born and raised in Australia, decided to leave his country for the Philippines, where his mother originally lived. Amid rainy weather in Manila, Jason met Arielle. Jason and Arielle both have the mindset to live in a country that would give them satisfaction, and they know it's not where they were born in.

When Jason got a job position in Hong Kong, both were gladly willing to leave their country and start a life in Hong Kong, where they got to experience exciting things and the opportunity to travel to China from time to time. When the Hong Kong protest occurred, the couple again decided to a new country - somewhere more peaceful and harmonious.

Canada was a country that was not on their list of choices, but they were destined to be there. Of all the processes Jason and Arielle went through to successfully move to Canada, meeting their immigration consultant might be their most-life changing decision.

David, who is originally from the United States, grew up fond of the Japanese culture and even made an effort to learn the language itself. With his tremendous interest in the country, he was motivated to find ways to start his journey outside of the US and eventually live in his dream country. But before everything else, David also managed to work across different cities in the US. Despite enjoying life in these cities, nothing could surpass his hunger to be in Japan.

With many job applications to get a position in Tokyo, David's perseverance to fulfill his dream was on the next level, and he finally did it. Though living in Japan was a surreal experience for David, his story, like everybody else, was not meant to be complete comfort.

He shared how his struggles from building valuable relationships to his career challenges brought him to Japan, then Germany, until he settled in Portugal with his Japanese wife. With his rejections and successes over the past years of moving countries, David sure has a lot to impart on those who want to follow the same path, which is why he started his platform Expat Empire, intended to help people who want to move abroad too. He is indeed a living example of perseverance and resilience, proving that when you put more than 100% into reaching your goal, there will be no room for failure, just some redirection, and eventually success.
