Starting a chat with someone new can be a little scarier when you’ve lost that expat hook. You know the chat – so how long have you lived here? Where are you from? Where did you live before you moved here? Nikki talks about her new intro chats as a repat and how she’s coping with conversations that seem to go nowhere.

When were you your most confident as an expat? Was it pre/post expat? Nikki and Kirsty discuss when they were at their most confident and why.
