In this episode of Dustin’s Kaleidoscope, Dustin Dumas sits down with Chrishan Wright, founder of Blaxit Global, to explore what it really takes to design a life abroad on your own terms. Chrishan shares how a solo trip to New Zealand unlocked a deeper truth about how she wanted to live, how Portugal ultimately became her chosen home and why living intentionally, rather than by default, is her guiding philosophy.

This is more than a conversation about relocation. It's about realignment, healing, legacy and making bold moves when the world tells you it’s too late to change.

Topics Covered

• Her transformative solo trip to New Zealand and why it awakened her
• Falling in love with Portugal after just a few days
• The founding of Blaxit Global during the upheaval of 2020
• Her journey from corporate marketing to full-time entrepreneur and expat mentor
• The joy of reclaiming presence, peace, and community abroad

Key Takeaways

“Living abroad isn’t about running away. It’s about choosing yourself.”

“Live life by design, not by default.”
