Living abroad means that you may not have a strong support system around you. And as exciting as the unlimited possibilities can be,  we might also feel alone and crave a strong connection with a friend or a partner. And maybe some of us crave connection that much that we ignore some big red flags or accept things we would not accept in a safer environment. Join us today, as we talk about why it is especially hard to date as an expat and how you can craft better and healthier relationships as a globetrotter. 

It takes a village. But what if you live abroad?
This week, we are talking with Chloe about living your life in another country as a mother. How did her experience change from being single abroad to having her own family while navigating expat life? Listen in to Chloe's reflections on community and belonging, which have led her to create a global community for expat mothers. 
This is part 1 of the series with Chloe. Join us again for the next episode, in which we chat about romantic relationships as an expat.

Where do you belong?
Don't we all hate this question as serial expats, third culture kids and global citizens?
Well, it's a tough question! Join us today while we try to figure out what belonging means to us and how we find a sense of belonging while living far away from the people we care about.
We don't have the answers, but we did learn a few things about finding a sense of belonging throughout this challenging time. 
Listen in and let us know your thoughts.
Love, Nina & Miri xxx

It's a struggle most of us know, whether we live abroad or not. But living abroad during a global pandemic and going through quarantine in a culture and language you do not fully understand can be a very isolating experience. Pre-pandemic, expatriates also used to battle loneliness, but advices such as "go out and meet people" just don't apply anymore. So what is the answer? Pull yourself together and get on with it? 
Today, let's go on an adventure through the fields of psychology and neuroscience and approach the issues through a scientific lens. What does loneliness and deprivation of connection do to us physically and psychologically? And what can you do if you feel lonely?
Today is for all of you who have ever felt lonely!
