Meet the Expats

Meet Kim, 

A Dutch - Australian born in Zimbabwe who has lived in 8 countries 🌎 up to date, and who’s world tour took a different turn when the Covid- 19 pandemic broke out. 

She tells us how it was moving every two years as a child, the cries when it came to leaving friends but also the richness ♥️of discovering new cultures, foods and most importantly how you become adaptable to change and embrace it when it comes your way.

We then embark on her Asian tour, as she and her partner decided to leave the comfort of their home in Europe to go travelling for a year.  What steps did they take to make it happen, how she continues to run her business while travelling; and how the pandemic led them to change their plans and  settle down for a few months in Cambodia. She shares her favorite spots in Kampot and the music genre which will stick with her Asian trip:

• 🍃Vegan restaurant: Little things which makes the best mango cashew  🍰cheesecake  http://simplethings.me

Meet Carly, Australian young woman who’s Erasmus in Madrid led to living and working in NYC 🗽 for 3 years. She tells us how she kept up with the city vibrant and fast paced, eventually finding balance and building strong relationships. Finally we discuss knowing when the time has come to leave and start from scratch all over again, in Dublin! ☘️

As top tips for New York, more specifically Williamsburg, she recommends:

Lucky Dog, a divebar with dogs running around, and for a nice asian fusion japaneese resaurant Bozu. 🍣
