In this episode, I sit down with Patrick Bateman to talk about one of the wildest, weirdest, and sometimes funniest parts of living abroad: culture shock. Patrick shares stories from his own life: the good, the uncomfortable, and the “did that really just happen?” We dig into how culture, language, and identity all collide when you're far from home. We get into expectations vs. reality, why certain behaviors feel “normal” and how navigating a new place can stretch you in ways you never expected. It’s honest, warm, and full of the kind of perspective you only get from people who’ve lived it.
