London Expat

LONDON EXPAT is the comic story of the encounter between a modern migrant and London.
What’s the day-to-day life for an expat in a multiethnic glamorous city? And what changed after Brexit and the recent Corona virus pandemic?
The podcast explores the long road to becoming a citizen in another country, embracing a new nationality whilst staying true to your roots, and the existential crisis when no country claims you as their own. From amusing encounters to bewildering technicalities, Cecilia delves into what lives as a foreigner looks and feels like. In this journey, Cecilia is guided by the Spirit of London, interpreted by the Drag Queen Jonny Woo, and the book “Life in the UK”, the bible for new citizens. The story is also accompanied by direct testimonies of many expats.
