Move Abroad

135: What living abroad for YEARS actually feels like


Listen Later

Everyone talks about the dream of moving abroad, but nobody talks about what happens years later, when it stops feeling new and starts feeling like real life.

In this episode, I get real about what living in London for nearly seven years has actually felt like - the good, the messy, and the surprisingly beautiful.

In this episode, I'm covering:

  • The difference between your first year abroad vs. year five
  • How living abroad genuinely changes who you are as a person
  • The honest downsides nobody really talks about — missing birthdays, weddings, and holidays back home
  • Why I feel a deep sense of peace and freedom after getting my UK permanent residency
  • The question every expat eventually faces: "Will you stay forever?"
  • Why you don't have to have it all figured out before you go

My biggest takeaway: "Life can be built in more than one place, and life can be built more than once."

Whether you're just starting to dream about moving abroad or you're already living it, this episode will encourage you, ground you, and remind you that it's good on the other side.
