Moving to a new country is more than just a change of scenery - it’s a massive emotional shift. 

Sure, the excitement is real, but so are the fears, the doubts, and the moments where you wonder, "Did I make the right decision?"

In this episode of The Costa Property Podcast, Sandra sits down with Florence Reisch, expat coach and author of Expat Wife, Happy Life, to dive deep into what it really takes to adapt, integrate, and build a fulfilling life in a new country.

With 26 years of experience living across five continents, Florence knows firsthand the challenges, joys, and unexpected hurdles of the expat journey. She’s sharing raw, practical advice to help you not just survive - but thrive - in your new home.

Tune in to discover:

✅ The emotional rollercoaster of moving abroad - and how to handle the highs and lows

✅ How fear holds you back from settling in - and what to do about it

✅ Why finding your community is the key to feeling at home (even if you’re shy or introverted!)

✅ How to keep your relationship strong through a big international move
