This episode we have someone who honestly looks at the world from not only a realistic, but also a spiritual point of view that in many ways exemplifies basic human characteristics and values. Peter Fogtdal, a humorous Danish author, writer and lecturer, shares with us his unique view of life while living as an immigrant and working in the United States. Tune in to hear this proud Dane's observations of how he relates and compares his life overseas in his host nation to life and events in his home nation.
Peter has a voice made for broadcasting and, at the time of this broadcast, 14 novels under his belt and some of which have a satirical tone but at the same time exemplifies Peter's spiritual values.
I found Peter to be full of energy and I think that helps him to define and explain what he sees around him in a humorous way.

No one can really ever predict with absolute accuracy the road life will take them. Desires, wishes and dreams may at first just seam to be passing thoughts with no reason to take action to see to completion. This episode we catch up with someone who had a simple desire to one day live abroad. Luckily, in this case, a decision that was made by our guest did in fact lead to her current life overseas.
Today we talk to a self proclaimed city girl with a country soul. Joining us from her secret hideaway in Europe, Jasmine Mah, a prolific blogger from North America, joins us to share her, what I would call romantic, story about how she ended up living overseas and also how she has adopted to her new life abroad. Hear how she learnt to make adjustments to her persona that helped her adapt to her new overseas environment.

No matter where we are in life there will always be challenges and some of them will bring wonderful surprises along with disappointments. Expats, immigrants and migrants will face these facts regardless of where they are.
The question at this point is what happens when an overseas experience isn't going well? What occurs when a foreign national is overwhelmed with an inability to adjust to living in their host nation that may later lead to stress and anxiety? What can a foreign national do to deal with a stressful life abroad short of returning to their home nation?
In this episode, we dive into tips for learning how to adjust to disparaging situations by first acknowledging and bring them to the front.

There are many reasons why expats, immigrants and migrants choose to live a life abroad. Some have decided to look abroad to find a missing part of themselves or just to get away from situations that they felt were obstacles or factors limiting their physical, psychological, financial and, in some cases, spiritual or creative development. Many have simply decided to look and journey abroad to quench their thirst for adventure.
In this episode, I converse with American expat traveller and cook, Deonté Daniels. Deonté is someone who has decided to explore an existence overseas for reasons much like the ones I've just mentioned.
I should also mention that this is one interview that I felt I could have gone much deeper and because of this I hope that I will be able to continue with this discussion in the near future and use it as an insight of how my guest sees his life overseas from another point in time.

Anyone who has lived overseas for an extended period of time has looked back at least once on their experience and wondered how they managed to overcome the cultural issues they faced while abroad. This may sound ridiculous but it never ceases to amaze how bits and peaces of cultural unawareness and bewilderment can later lead to an even deeper understanding and appreciation.
Most of what was stated above is encapsulated in the words of our guest this episode, Mr. Will Brooks. Will is an active blogger and web broadcaster from the West Coast of the United States but for this episode joins us from the place he now calls home, South Korea. Hear and follow how he and his Korean wife are raising their TCK child (third culture kid). Tune in to hear how Will learned to not let false impressions affect him and how his persistence helped him open doors that weren't previously available.

There are many doors that we have to open and close to reach our life goals. Some doors are slammed in our faces and sometimes we have to slam the doors ourselves in order to preserve the little time we have. And because of this, it isn't often that we come across people that have developed the ability to without hesitation unconditionally accept all the ups and downs life has to offer without regrets. On this podcast episode, we are lucky to have someone who is a true living and functional example of this fact.
This episode we welcome American world traveler, Crystal Lynn Bell. Ms. Bell started traveling the world at an early age and is currently living in Zagred, Croatia and calls herself a spiritual empowerment coach and traveling mystic. She travels the world offering spiritual guidance to those who are looking for a closer connection to themselves, the world and others.

Meg and Rob, along with their fur baby, Jack, had what many people would call a dream life. However, it wasn't bring the type of satifaction they desired, so in 2016, they decided it was time to pack it all up and leave the "rat race"of their home nation to search for a lighter and more fulfilling life abroad. They became more determined to get quality out of their lives. In order to do so, they got their priorities straight and one major step they took was to declutter their living space. Meg and Rob figured out what mattered to them the most and began to chronicle the steps they are taking to achieve their goals on their website "This is Us Living". Their blog posts demonstrates to others how they too can maintain a minimalist lifestyle while living and traveling abroad.

Foreign nationals explore and come from all over the world and they all bring their own personal unique branding to their overseas experience. Both foreign nationals and local citizens alike can benefit vastly by interacting with each other. By doing so, not only can stereotypes be debunked, but also deep understandings built.
We are honored to have Errol Manuel on the show. Errol is a foreign national from India living in the windy tech capital of Taiwan, Hsinchu. Hear why Errol says he and his wife are taking, what some would call, an unconventional approach to raising children abroad. By the way, if you're careful, you might learn something about Indian culture.
