  • Episode 471: A Stranger in a Strange Land
    Today we have the pleasure of hosting an episode of one of our favorite travel podcasts, Far From Home, hosted by Scott Gurian. In this episode, Jamie Yuenger talks about the unexpected challenges of adjusting to life as a New Yorker living in the Netherlands. She describes the near impossibility of making friends with locals, the lost feeling of not knowing the "terms of engagement," and the surprise in finding that her Americanness is often perceived as "too much." It wasn't until she went back to New York for a visit after three years that she was able to put her finger on why adjusting to life in a small Dutch city was such a challenge. She talks about the things she misses, things as simple as being able to walk into a bookstore and be able to read any book there, to as important as being able to fully express yourself to your partner. This is an unmissable episode for any expat who's having a hard time, or anyone who is planning a move abroad.  Way back in our archives, you can find an interview with Scott Gurian,  Episode 174 Rally, where he talks about an amazing adventure he went on, the Mongolian Rally. You can also listen to more from Jamie on her own podcast, If You Knew Me.  ------------------------------------- ADVERTISE WITH US: Reach expats, future expats, and travelers all over the world.

  • Bittersweet Moment #197: Furbo vs. Fesso
    They say that in Italy, you're either a furbo or a fesso—a wise guy or a chump. It's an unhappy reality that, in many situations in Italy, if you're not getting one over on someone else, someone is inevitably getting one over on you. After Monday's debate over the possible unexpected benefits of Italian disorganization, Tiffany recalls a few times in her nearly two decades of living in Rome when she turned on the wily arts of furbizia to get her way, and to avoid being a fessa. But that leads to a bigger question, does it have to be this way? ------------------------------------- ADVERTISE WITH US: Reach expats, future expats, and travelers all over the world.

  • Episode 470: In Praise of Italian Disorganization
    Italians love to complain about how disorganized everything is in Italy, but deep down, do they actually like it? A chance conversation Tiffany had last week sparked this episode about the possible benefits of living a country that doesn't take rules and regulations quite so seriously. Is there something to be said for a place that's a bit more flexible and relaxed, where people are more apt to "live and let live"? ------------------------------------- ADVERTISE WITH US: Reach expats, future expats, and travelers all over the world.

  • Episode 469: Can You Move to Italy without Speaking Italian?
    Is it possible to move to Italy without speaking Italian? Can you find a job in Italy without speaking Italian? Can you make friends? This week we tackle a listener email, a question from someone who is pining to move to Italy, but is worried that she won't be able to find work or fit in, since she barely speaks the language. Tiffany and Katy spill on how much Italian you really need to know to get by, what you can do to improve it, and why it's so important to (eventually) speak the language of the country you live in. If you have a question of your own, email us and we might just answer your question on air! And if you want even more access, join us on Patreon, where we host regular live meet-ups with listeners and offer two exclusive bonus episodes every month! ------------------------------------- ADVERTISE WITH US: Reach expats, future expats, and travelers all over the world.
