  • Ep 13. Cosas que me hubiera gustado saber antes de mudarme a los Estados Unidos: Crédito.

    Hola a todos, bienvenidos a otro episodio de Expat Coffee Break, este es un podcast bilingüe dedicado a compartir las experiencias personales de inmigrantes y contar nuestras historias viviendo en el extranjero.

    Hago este contenido con la finalidad de compartir experiencias, situaciones y sentimientos de los que normalmente no te enteras. Ya que mi perspectiva es que muchas de las personas que no han vivido en otro país tienen una imagen romántica de lo que es vivir en el extranjero.

    Esta imagen es generada por familiares, amigos o conocidos que nos cuentan maravillas de su experiencia, así como los medios de comunicación y redes sociales que se encargan de pintártela color de rosa.

    Se tiende a platicar solamente de lo bien que nos va, y difícilmente se platican las dificultades que se tuvieron que superar. Esto genera una falsa expectativa de lo que es vivir en otro país, especialmente en Estados Unidos, y puede que influya en que alguien decida emigrar pensando que todo es fácil sin, saber en qué se mete realmente.

    Muy pocos te platican la otra cara de la moneda. Obviamente hay muchas situaciones, y dependiendo como logres emigrar, será tu experiencia. Como dice el dicho, cada quien cuenta cómo le va en la feria.

    Este es un episodio de la serie: Cosas que me hubiera gustado saber antes de mudarme a los Estados Unidos, y en esta ocasión, hablo del tema de Crédito, cómo me afecto los primeros meses al comprar carro, seguro, teléfono celular y rentar un departamento.


    Si te gusto el episodio, date una vuelta por mis redes, porfa compártelo y cuéntame que te parece el contenido? Todas las sugerencias son bien recibidas.

  • Ep 12. My Experience with the USA Healthcare system

    Hello and welcome! To another episode of the Expat Coffee break podcast, my name is Javier and this show is dedicated to sharing personal experiences of immigrants and telling their stories of what it´s like to move to a new country.

    In this episode, I will talk about my experience with the medical healthcare system in the United States, sharing some of my story getting sick, diagnosed, and treated, what are the things that surprised me or caused discomfort when navigating the system, some of the differences between United States and Mexico healthcare and what I´ve learned from this experience.

    Please keep in mind I am not a medical expert and that what I´m only going to be talking about my perspective and personal experience.

    With my story and sharing the experiences that you don´t usually know about until you have already moved, I hope to assist in making a more educated decision to whoever is interested in immigrating to the United States, whether it is with a Professional Career and Working Visa, or trying to build up from scratch.

    Whether you are considering immigrating to the United States and want to learn more, or just looking to learn about the USA from an immigrant´s experience, this podcast is for you.

  • Ep 11. Mi historia, tomar la decisión para mudarme a USA. Español

    Hola a todos, bienvenidos a otro episodio de Expat Coffee Break, este es un podcast bilingüe dedicado a compartir las experiencias personales de inmigrantes y contar nuestras historias viviendo en el extranjero.

    Hago este contenido con la finalidad de compartir experiencias, situaciones y sentimientos de los que normalmente no te enteras. Por lo general, solo nos enteramos a través de conocidos o familiares de lo bien que les va, y muy pocas veces se cuentan las dificultades que ellos tuvieron que superar. Esto genera una falsa expectativa de lo que es vivir en otro país, especialmente en Estados Unidos, y esto, puede que influya en que alguien decida emigrar pensando que todo es color de rosa sin saber en qué se mete.

    Muchas personas que viven en México y no han vivido en Estados Unidos u otro país, tienen una imagen romántica de lo que es vivir en el extranjero, primero porque los parientes y conocidos cuentan maravillas del sueño americano y luego porque Hollywood se encarga de pintártela color de rosa.

    Muy pocos te platican la otra cara de la moneda. Obviamente hay muchas situaciones, y dependiendo como logres emigrar, será tu experiencia. Como dice el dicho, cada uno cuenta cómo le va en la feria.

    Pues el día de hoy, les cuento una parte de mi historia al emigrar a Estados Unidos y mi proceso para tomar la decisión, contrario a lo que muchos podrían pensar, no fue una decisión obvia o fácil, ya que iba en contra de mis convicciones.

    Ya sea que estés interesado en saber más del tema de inmigración o simplemente buscas historias interesantes. Este Podcast es para tí.

  • Ep 10. My Experience Moving to the USA and Making new friends. English

    Hello everyone, welcome to another episode of Expat Coffee Break, a podcast dedicated to sharing personal experiences of immigrants and telling their stories about living abroad.

    My name is Javier, and in this episode, I will share my experience making new friends in Minnesota and what it was like for a Mexican to live the American Midwest Culture.

    Was it hard? Was it easy? How did people react to having a Mexican around? Did I blend in? Did I even tried to blend in? chuckles.

    Like I mentioned in previous episodes, I was somewhat familiarized with American culture, but most of what I’ve seen growing up was the Southern part of California, which has a warm weather most of the time and has a huge Hispanic population, heck, it was hard for me to speak English whenever I visited my family in California. But in Minnesota, that is part of the United States Midwest, I got to live a quite different experience.

    I will talk about my experience making friends in Minnesota, embracing the outdoor activities like fishing and camping, and overall, what is my experience meeting new people.

    Spoiler alert, it has been a great experience, I can´t complaint, except, maybe for the snow.

    With my story and sharing the experiences that you don´t usually know about until you have already moved, I hope to assist in making a more educated decision to whoever is interested in immigrating to the United States, whether it is with a Professional Career and Working Visa, or trying to build up from scratch.

    Whether you are considering immigrating to the United States and want to learn more, or just looking to learn about the USA from an immigrant´s experience, this podcast is for you.

  • Ep 09. Mi Amigo Oscar. MEX to USA. Pt. 2. English

    Hello everyone, welcome to another episode of Expat Coffee Break, a podcast dedicated to sharing personal experiences of immigrants and telling their stories about living abroad.

    My name is Javier, and in this episode, I have a very dear friend sharing his story of immigrating to the United States.

    Oscar immigrated to the United States from Mexico when he was nineteen years old. He has been living abroad for over twenty years, and in that time, he jumped from several jobs, learned about life, jumped some hoops and created a beautiful family. He is now a full time dad, operating his own business and working on his higher education. Oscar is the perfect example of a human being that is always striving to do better despite his conditions.

    In this episode, Oscar shares his experience growing up in Mexico, why he moved to the United States, how he immigrated, what was his first job, how did he felt moving to the US at nineteen and knowing almost nobody. Oscar´s personal experience has had many ups and downs, and you can tell by the level of energy of this episode that things were not easy.

    He is one of my dearest friends that I have met while living in the United States, and of course, this is one of my favorite episodes so far.

    By sharing this story and hearing about experiences that you don´t usually know about until you have already moved, I hope to assist in making a more educated decision to whoever is interested in immigrating from a developing country to the United States trying to build up a career starting with an entry level job, such as dish washer or cooking fast food. It is not easy, and Oscar has something to say about that.

    Whether you are considering immigrating to the United States and want to learn more, or just looking to learn about the USA from an immigrant´s experience, this podcast is for you.
