Janeen wondered what else was out there and found that the teaching profession in America did not provide enough of a teaching salary for her to enjoy traveling abroad regularly. Therefore, living in a more centralized place for travel, afforded her more travel.

Janeen found that the best financial packages were from schools in the Middle East and Asia, and she chose Kuwait. Janeen found the teaching opportunities through the following websites: teachaway.com  and TIEonline.com. Janeen eventually wanted to take a break from working and had saved enough money to do so. She then relocated to a Latin American country, Ecudaor, which was very affordable.

So if you're wondering whether or not teaching English abroad is right for you, listen to my interview with episode 45 guest Mitchell! During the interview and the talk of good food and of course love, I wondered what are the requirements for a US citizen to live in South Korea.Fun facts about South Korea

Did you know that https://english.visitkorea.or.kr/enu/index.kto (South Korea) is about the size of Portugal, or that the word "Korea" comes from the Kingdom of Goryeo, which was founded in the year 918? Also, 60% of the country is mountainous, but only 24% of the land is arable. South Korea, in addition, has the world's fastest internet speed, and a life expectancy of almost 84 years. These are just a few fun facts about this fascinating country.

During the interview and the talk of good food and of course love, I wondered what are the requirements for a US citizen to live in South Korea.

U.S. citizens interested in living in South Korea must meet a few requirements in order to obtain a long-term visa. First, they must have a valid passport with at least six months of remaining validity. Second, they must have a Korean visa, which can be obtained from a Korean embassy or consulate. Third, they must have proof of sufficient financial resources to support themselves while in South Korea. Fourth, they must have health insurance that covers their stay in South Korea.

Additionally , all US citizens must complete a comprehensive medical exam before they're allowed to enter South Korea. Finally, they must have a criminal background check from their home country. Once all of these requirements are met, U.S. citizens can apply for a long-term visa and begin the process of moving to South Korea. Though the requirements may seem daunting at first, following them will ensure that you have a smooth and enjoyable experience living in South Korea.

All in all, South Korea is a fascinating country with a lot to offer in terms of culture, food, and natural beauty. So why not explore South Korea for yourself?

Listen to UK expat Hannah, now! Mexican word of the dayGuanajuato is a beautiful central Mexican state which is known for its rich colonial history. Mexico is a country rich in culture and history, and its language is no exception.

What does Guanajuato mean ?

Guanajuato is a Mexican word that can trace its origins back to the Aztec civilization. Guanajuato is a word of Mexican origin. What does Guanajuato mean ? The name Guanajuato comes from the Nahuatl word "cuauhnāhuatl", meaning "hill of frogs" or "place of frogs".

According to legend, the city was founded by a group of Aztec hunters who were chasing a frog through the hills. The frog led them to a spring of freshwater, and they decided to settle there. 

According to another legend, the city was founded after an indigenous woman had a dream in which she was told to settle at the junction of two rivers. When she awoke, she found herself surrounded by frogs, and so she took this as a sign that she should indeed build her home there.

Today, the image of a frog is often used as a symbol of the city. 

The name Guanajuato eventually came to be used for the entire state of Guanajuato, which is located in central Mexico. Today, the word Guanajuato is still used to refer to both the state and its capital city.

This charming name is fitting for the state, as it is home to many picturesque towns and villages set amidst rolling hills and lush green fields. Founded in the 16th century, by Spanish conquistadors, Guanajuato was once an important silver-mining region, and its colonial architecture reflects the wealth that was generated during this period.

Today, Guanajuato is a UNESCO World Heritage site and the state is a popular tourist destination, with its charming towns, winding streets, bustling marketplaces, and beautiful scenery attracting visitors from all over the world. Whether you're interested in exploring Mexican history or culture or simply enjoying soaking up the atmosphere of a picturesque small town, continue to read on and learn about Guanajuato and why you should visit or maybe relocate to.

If you're looking for a taste of traditional Mexico, remember , the Mexican word of the day, Guanajuato. Guanajuato is worth a visit or relocation to.

And, of course, no trip to Guanajuato would be complete without trying some of the local cuisines.

Happy Mexico

With so much to do and see and eat in Guanajuato, no wonder Hannah and Kim are https://arewehomeyetpodcast.com/mexico-vs-estados-unidos-covid-endemic-love-so-pure/ (happy in their new home of Mexico).

Mexico is a place where people are generally very happy. In fact, Mexico is one of the happiest countries in the world, according to the World Happiness Report, in the top 50. There are many factors that contribute to this happiness, including the strong sense of family and community, the love of music and food, and the climate.

Of course, there are challenges in Mexico as well, but overall it is a country that brings joy to its people.

Hannah has been looking for a place like Guanajuato Mexico for a long...

Riffeth is from Sri Lanka and is on a journey to the heart of self-realization as an expat. While he enjoys the many different Malaysian restaurants in Kuala Lumpur, his real journey is within himself. He is exploring what it means to be living in a foreign country and learning more about himself. Riffeth is grateful for the opportunity to live abroad and learn (thanks to the travel and technology company that he works for), and Riffeth looks forward to continuing his journey in the years to come! Listen to my interview with episode 39 guest Riffeth on the Are we home yet? podcast! Journey to the Heart of Self-Realization The journey to the heart of self-realization can be a long and difficult one. It requires us to confront our fears and insecurities and to let go of the untrue beliefs that we have about ourselves. But it is also a journey that is full of rewards. As we discover our true identity, we also find a deep sense of peace and happiness. We come to know ourselves as infinitely worthy and deserving of love. We come to see that we are perfect just as we are. And we come to feel a profound sense of connectedness with all beings.

Those who can reach the heart of self-realization often find that they can lead richer, more satisfying lives. They are better able to connect with others and find deeper meaning in their relationships. They are also more likely to experience a sense of inner peace and well-being. In short, the journey to the heart of self-realization is a journey that can change your life for the better.

There is no one answer to the question of what self-realization is. For some people, it may simply mean coming to a greater understanding of their own thoughts and feelings. For others, it may involve reaching a higher level of consciousness or understanding the true nature of reality. Regardless of what it means for individual people, self-realization is a process that often requires deep introspection and reflection.

In many cases, it is only through coming to know ourselves that we can hope to achieve anything else in life. That being said, the journey of self-realization is unique to everyone, and there is no single path that leads to it. For some, it may happen spontaneously; for others, it may be the result of years of dedicated effort. Ultimately, though, self-realization is something that we all have the potential to experience.

The term "self-realization" is often used in psychology to describe the process of coming to a fuller understanding of one's own identity. However, it can also be applied to the expatriate experience. For many expats, the process of self-realization begins when they first leave their home country. This can be a time of great excitement and opportunity, but it can also be a period of uncertainty and self-doubt. As expats settle into their new lives, they often find themselves questioning their previous assumptions about who they are and what they want out of life.

Through trial and error, they gradually develop a new sense of self that is more in line with their new circumstances. In some cases, this process leads to major life changes, such as a new career or a move to a different country. For expats, self-realization is an ongoing journey that can provide valuable insights into both their own identities and the world around them.

For many people, living abroad is about more than just seeing new places. It can also be about finding oneself. This was certainly the case for Riffeth when he decided to move abroad. Leaving his home country behind, Sri Lanka, he felt like he was embarking on a journey of self-discovery. And in many ways, he was. Living in a new culture and learning to navigate a new way of life has forced him to step outside of his comfort zone and understand better who he is and what he wants out of life. It has at times been a challenging and sometimes difficult experience, but ultimately it was also one of the most rewarding...

When Inez first arrived, her son was nearly four years old. Inez remembers trying to make his birthday cake and not being able to find any icing sugar!

Málaga Spain has seen a lot of changes over the years. The city has become more cosmopolitan, with a diverse range of people and cultures. The infrastructure has also improved, with better roads and public transport. And, of course, the tourist industry has boomed, bringing millions of visitors to the city each year. Málaga Spain has been one of the most popular tourist destinations in Europe for years. But in recent years, the city has undergone a major transformation. The once-sleepy fishing village has been transformed into a bustling metropolis, with high-rise buildings and a lively nightlife scene. The change is most evident in the city center, where new restaurants and bars have sprung up to cater to the influx of tourists. Even the city's famous beaches have been given a makeover, with new developments and luxury hotels popping up along the coastline.  However, despite all these changes, Málaga has managed to retain its traditional charm. The city center is still filled with historic buildings and narrow streets, and the locals are still friendly and welcoming.

When Shlomo, an online marketing manager for a company that helps students, moved to Beijing, he was looking for a sense of community and familiarity. He found that in the Jewish community, which helped him give his Beijing House a feeling of home. The close-knit community offered him a support system, something that he was missing after leaving his family and friends behind in Israel. An internship program and learn Chinese program brought Shlomo from Israel to Beijing, Shlomo eventually became more involved in the entrepreneurship community in Beijing, led a meetup group with monthly events and weekly events of entrepreneurship, and built a company that helped foreign apps distribute into the Chinese market. Listen to Episode 32 of the Are we home yet? podcast, to hear how Shlomo created a business in Beijing China, became a financial coach, and how Israel means home to him. As an expat, Shlomo mentioned that figuring out how to get utilities turned on for a Beijing residence can be a struggle of being an expat. In Beijing, the apartment complexes are typically served by a central utility system that provides electricity, water, and other services to the residents. The utility system is usually managed by the property management company that oversees the complex. As a result, residents generally don't have to worry about paying for utilities individually. 

A feeling of homeThere's more than just utilities that goes into giving a place a feeling of home. For most people, home is a place of comfort and security. It's a refuge from the outside world, a place where we can relax and be ourselves. But for some, home is a more complicated concept. For them, home isn't necessarily a physical place. Instead, it's a state of mind, an emotional space that we carry with us wherever we go. Take, for example, someone who grows up in multiple countries. They might not have one specific place that they call home. Instead, a feeling of home for some is wherever their family is. Or consider someone who has to move constantly for their job. For them, a feeling of home might be wherever they happen to be living at the moment. In both cases, a feeling of home is less about a physical location and more about a feeling of safety and belonging. So what does it mean to have a feeling of home? For Shlomo, it's about feeling like he belongs, like he's part of a community, and that home is in Israel, no matter where he goes with his family to live, several months out of the year.

Financial Coach jobsShlomo is a financial coach and going to be giving a speech at a digital nomad conference in Bulgaria and is eager for his family to join him. Website flipping Website flipping is a great way to make money as a financial coach, which is something that Shlomo also does. There are a few different ways to do this, but the basic idea is to buy low-traffic website for a low price, improve it in some way, and then sell it for a higher price. This can be done by increasing the traffic to the website, improving the content, or adding new features. The best part of website flipping is that it can be done entirely online! So if you're looking for a way to make money as a financial coach, website flipping is definitely worth considering.

Jensen has exhibited her cool art in China and in other parts of the world. When Jensen moved to China from the Philippines, she brought her map of the Philippines with her. This map, located in her heart, has fueled her journey to success as an artist in China.  Listen to my interview with Jensen, Episode 31 guest of the Are you home yet? podcast, and find out about life in Beijing, her artwork, and design company. 

Award-winning artist, Founder of Jensen Moreno Fine Arts, Designer, Art Teacher, Director of Arts at Joy El International Academy. Jensen is a Filipina artist based in Beijing. Her most recent painting exhibitions were very successful in China. “Hall of Fame,” her 5th solo painting exhibition was sponsored by the A.C. Art Museum. It was followed by “World-class” hosted by the Philippine Embassy for the ASEAN Ladies Circle gathering where Lady Ambassadors and Mesdames were the major guests.

Cool art is one of those things that you know when you see it. It's an art that's unique and eye-catching, and that often has a strong emotional impact. Cool art can be found in all kinds of places, from museums and galleries to street art and graffiti. And it's not always easy to define - what one person thinks is cool art might not be cool to someone else. But that's part of the beauty of cool art - it's often subjective, and open to interpretation. Whether you're looking at a beautiful painting or a shocking piece of street art, cool art has the power to stop you in your tracks and make you think. And that's what makes it so cool. The Art of ZooJensen has a cool art form that looks like at the art of Zoo. The results are stunningly beautiful works of art that are truly one-of-a-kind. The intricate designs show the animals in their natural habitats. The next time you're looking for some cool art check out the Art of zoo, among the other art forms that Jensen makes. The art of zoo is not only about the design of the landscaping, but also the way the animals are displayed. Jensen also has a design company, and thus the placement of the animals, giving them enough space to move around on the canvas, or to hide, is important to her. The resulting art of zoo looks like a mini-safari; cool art where you can see lions and elephants, up close and in their natural surroundings. The art of the zoo is about the viewer, art lover, and animal lover, an experience that is both educational and visually enriching. If you're looking for a new painting, cool art for walls, check out something that Jensen has. Jensen, who is not a starving artist, displays her art on social media, along with her website. Explore the world of her cool art and you might find a new favorite artist.

Great SuccessFor anyone looking to achieve great success, the road is never easy. There will always be obstacles and challenges to overcome. But that's what makes the journey so rewarding. It's not about taking the easy way out; it's about persevere through the tough times and come out stronger on the other side. It's about learning from your mistakes and using those lessons to propel you forward. If you're willing to put in the hard work and stay focused on your goals, there's no limit to what you can achieve. So keep your head up and keep moving forward, because success is just around the corner. Jensen is finding great success with her art because she has kept at it and has diversified. Jensen brings her artistic side to her design company and is also an art teacher.Great success in the art world is not easy to come by. There are many talented artists out there, all vying for attention from buyers, galleries, and collectors. To stand out from the crowd, an artist needs to have a strong vision and be able to execute it flawlessly. They also need to be marketing savvy and understand the business side of the art world. But even with all of these things, there is no guarantee of success. In the end, great success in the art world...

Our cooking chat via our zoom call was an informal exchange of cooking information between two people which covered a wide range of topics, not just about ingredients, but also, the first bite that we take, what we serve family and friends, different meals enjoyed in various countries that Karen and her family have lived in and traveled to. 

Karen shared her cooking experiences as a young girl, a wife and mom, and as a student in Sicily where she was invited into a farm-to-table cooking course. Whether you're looking for cooking advice or just want to learn more about someone else's culture and cuisine, a cooking chat can be a valuable source of information.

Do you want to learn how to stand up paddleboard in Lake Atitlan Guatemala? I had the chance to interview Marshall, a Canadian expat who currently lives in Atitlan with his wife Annette. He's a big fan of Latin American food and says that the weather is perfect year-round. Listen to my interview with https://arewehomeyetpodcast.com/welcome-to-the-are-we-home-yet-podcast/ (Are we home yet? podcast )episode 29 guest, Marshall, about fully enjoying expat life in Lake Atitlan Guatemala and running a Stand Up Paddleboard business. Guatemala is a fascinating country to live in, both for its weather and its culture. The country has a thriving Aboriginal culture, and it is interesting to see how the indigenous people of Guatemala are still living in their ancestral ways. Living among their culture is quite an experience, and it is also fascinating to watch as they interact with the modern world. From a weather perspective, Guatemala is just a fantastic place to live, it's called the land of Eternal Spring. The climate is perfect for those who love the outdoors, and there are plenty of activities to keep you busy. Whether you enjoy hiking, biking, or simply spending time in nature, you'll find that Guatemala has something to offer. In addition to its great weather, Guatemala also boasts a rich cultural heritage. If you're interested in learning about the country's history and customs, you'll be sure to find plenty of opportunities to do so. Whether you're looking for an adventure-filled vacation or a peaceful place to call home, Guatemala is sure to please. One of the most notable features of Guatemala is Lake Atitlan, a large lake in the southwestern part of the country. Lake Atitlan Guatemala was once voted one of the "Most Beautiful Lake in the world." It is located in the Highlands of Guatemala, nestled amid mountains and volcanoes, and lush vegetation. Visitors to Lake Atitlan Guatemala can enjoy the stunning scenery, relax in the peaceful atmosphere, and explore the rich culture of the local people. Every year thousands of people come to experience its beauty for themselves. Lake Atitlan Guatemala is more than three miles long and up to a mile wide, with depths reaching over 1,000 feet and incredibly clear. Its shores are dotted with small villages, and its waters are home to many different kinds of fish. Lake Atitlan Guatemala is also a popular spot for kayaking, fishing, hiking, swimming, and thanks to Marshall, stand up paddleboarding, through his company Stand Up Paddleboard (SUP) Atitlan. Lake Atitlan Guatemala is one of the most beautiful places on Earth. But it's not just the scenery that makes the beautiful Lake Atitlan Guatemala special. Lake Atitlan Guatemala is also home to a wide variety of wildlife, including rare species of fish, birds, and reptiles. In addition, the lake is an important cultural center for the Maya people. For centuries, the Maya have been drawn to Lake Atitlan for its spiritual power. Even today, many Maya pilgrims make the journey to the lake to offer prayers and sacrifices to the Gods. With its natural beauty and rich history, it's no wonder that the beautiful Lake Atitlan Guatemala is considered one of the seven wonders of Guatemala. https://arewehomeyetpodcast.com/standup-paddleboard-lake-atitlan-guatemala/ (If you want to know more insider knowledge about living in Lake Atitlan Guatemala and stand up paddleboarding, click this link to tune in to episode 29 of the Are We Home Yet podcast and hear more from Marshall!)

What is Mexico known for? Not sure? Well, if you're thinking about quitting your job and traveling,https://arewehomeyetpodcast.com/19-best-places-to-see-the-stars-and-moon/ ( Mexico is a great place to start)! This country is known for its beautiful beaches and friendly people. As an American, you can even go without a passport. Social Media Influencer Alea, episode 28 guest of the Are we home yet? podcast, moved to Mexico in May with her partner and dog and has been loving it! Alea and her partner Harrison are exploring all the different towns and villages, and are always meeting new friends. Mexico is a country that is rich in history and culture. Mexican culture is a complex and rich tapestry, woven from a wide variety of influences. From its indigenous people to the Spanish conquistadors, Mexico has been shaped by a diverse range of cultures. This diversity is evident in everything from the country's cuisine to its music and art. Mexican food, for instance, blends elements from both indigenous and Spanish traditions.  Mexico is a country located in the southernmost part of North America. So what is Mexico known for? Mexico is known for its food, music, beaches, and historical landmarks. The country's largest city is Mexico City, which is also the capital. Other major cities in Mexico include Guadalajara, Monterrey, and Puebla. Spanish is the official language of Mexico, but many Mexicans also speak English.  Mexico is known for its vibrant and flavorful cuisine. The country's cuisine is a blend of indigenous, European, and Asian influences. Mexican food is often spicy, with dishes like chili con carne and enchiladas featuring prominently. Mexico is also known for its wide variety of seafood, such as shrimp and lobster.

The country's cuisine is as diverse as its landscape, with each region offering its own unique flavors. Whether you're in the mood for a light snack or a hearty meal, Mexico has something to offer everyone.

https://arewehomeyetpodcast.com/10-questions-for-my-podcast-guests/ (Alea found that living in America was expensive). I found that same as well, money always seems to be tight, no matter how much you have. But in Mexico Alea has found that prices for food, lodging, and attractions are relatively low due to the dollar peso exchange rate, which means you can enjoy all the country has to offer without breaking the bank.

Living in someplace like Mexico will provide the answer to the question of how to quit your job and travel For many of us, the idea of quitting our jobs and living abroad permanently in one place, orhttps://arewehomeyetpodcast.com/how-much-does-it-cost-to-travel-the-world/ ( having more time to travel as a digital nomad), is an attractive proposition. The thought of leaving behind the daily 9-5 grind in favor of a life of adventure is certainly appealing. And while it's true that quitting your job and traveling can be a great way to see the world, there are a few things you should keep in mind before making the jump.

Alea is ahttps://arewehomeyetpodcast.com/becoming-a-travel-blogger-traveling-world/ ( social media influencer), which has allowed her to quit a former job in America andhttps://arewehomeyetpodcast.com/purchase-best-smartphone-cheapest-laptop/ ( work and live anywhere in the world).

If you're looking for how to spell retired, just look for a place at the beach! My guest for episode 27 of the Are we home yet ? podcast is Kenric, an American, retired after 20 years ofhttps://arewehomeyetpodcast.com/raise-a-kid-in-another-country/ ( military) service. When Kenric retired, he wanted to find a place where he could relax and enjoy the sun and sand. Kenric made a plan to travel through Central America, headed down to Honduras, where the beaches are beautiful and thehttps://arewehomeyetpodcast.com/checklist-when-moving-to-another-country/ ( people are friendly). Kenric found an apartment right on the beach and has been living there for a few months. If you're looking for a place tohttps://arewehomeyetpodcast.com/7-best-places-to-go-after-retirement/ ( retire), Honduras, and a place at the beach, is a great choice! Honduras is ahttps://arewehomeyetpodcast.com/7-best-places-to-study-abroad/ ( Central American country) with a population of nearly nine million people. Honduras is also well-known for its rich culture, which is evident in its music, dance, and art. The country has a long history of political instability, and its economy has been greatly impacted by violence and crime. In recent years, Honduras has made significant strides in combating these issues, and it is now considered to be one of the safest countries in Central America. Despite these challenges, Honduras remains a beautiful and welcoming country that is worth exploring. Honduras is best known for its pristine beaches, which are some of the best in Central America. The country's coastline stretches for over 700 miles, and there are dozens of beautiful beach towns to explore. From the surfing mecca of Tela to the laid-back island of Roatán, there's something for everyone in Honduras. Visitors can enjoy plenty of activities on the water, such as snorkeling, diving, fishing, and kayaking. On land, there's hiking, bird watching, and horseback riding. And of course, no trip to Honduras would be complete without sampling the delicious seafood cuisine. With so much to offer, it's no wonder that Honduras is one of the most popular tourist destinations in the region. There's something about the beach that just makes Kenric feel at peace. Maybe it's the sound of the waves crashing against the shore, the warm sun on his skin, the sand under his feet, or the scuba diving that he's recently learned how to do. Whatever it is, he can't help but feel relaxed living on the beach. I told Kenric during the interview that I know exactly how he feels. When I was younger, I would spend my summers in my homeland ofhttps://arewehomeyetpodcast.com/fun-facts-of-the-world-of-the-world/ ( Panama (Central America)) , where my Afrolatina heritage comes from. My aunts, uncles, and cousins, and I would spend time at a place at the beach several weekends during the summer. We would spend all day swimming, building sandcastles, surfing, and collecting shells. Even though I'm all grown up now, I still love going to the beach, and getting a place at the beach. Whether I'm going for a walk along the shore, or just sitting and watching the waves, I always feel better after spending some time at the beach. https://arewehomeyetpodcast.com/spell-retired-a-place-at-the-beach/ (If you want to know more insider knowledge about living in Honduras and traveling and living around the world, tune in to episode 27 of the Are We Home Yet podcast and hear more from Kenric !)

Sam enjoys bringing social media users on a taste of Italy with lovely photos and informative videos. Sam is my guest for episode 25, of thehttps://arewehomeyetpodcast.com/ ( Are we home yet? podcast), is from Boca Raton Florida, in America, and has been a flight attendant for 15 years. For the past 5 years, Same has considered Florence, Italy her home, a home she has made with her boyfriend Michael Angelo. One of her favorite Italian specialties is Pecorino cheese. This flavorful cheese can be enjoyed in a variety of dishes or simply paired with a glass of red wine. Pecorino cheese is produced in several regions of Italy, but the best-known variety comes from Florence. Florence is home to several artisanal cheesemakers who produce pecorino cheese using traditional methods. The city's climate and landscape are ideal for raising sheep, and the Florentine hills provide plenty of grazing land for the animals. As a result, Florence is widely regarded as the birthplace of pecorino cheese. Sam never would have guessed that she would end up falling in love with an Italian guy and moving to Italy, but that's exactly what happened. It all started when she met Michael Angelo at a birthday party for a mutual friend. The party was being held on the Tuscan hillside in an area called Siena. They hit it off immediately and kept in touch after she returned home to the United States. Three months later, she took a leap of faith and flew back to Italy to visit Michael Angelo. They didn't know much about each other, but they quickly fell head-over-heels in love. Now, five years later, they're still together and living on the Tuscan hillside. Sam couldn't be happier with how things have turned out. She's grateful for the chance encounter that led her to the love of her life.

Although Sam lives in Italy with her boyfriend, as a flight attendant she flies back and forth from Italy to America. Sam loves being a flight attendant.

Hungary is a country that is often overlooked when it comes to wine. However, Hungarian wine has a lot to offer wine connoisseurs! If you're a wine connoisseur, then you should know about Hungarian wine. Hungary is one of the most famous countries for wine production in the world! There are many different types of Hungarian wine, and each one has its unique flavor and character. In this blog post, we will discuss some of the best Hungarian wines that you should try, as well as some tips for wine connoisseurs who want to learn more about Hungarian wine. In episode 24 of thehttps://arewehomeyetpodcast.com/ ( Are, we home yet? podcast) I interviewed Smike who made the decision 13 years ago to move to Budapest Hungary and quickly fell in love with the city.https://arewehomeyetpodcast.com/category/relocation-specialist/ ( Budapest) has a laid-back, artistic creative vibe, and its rich unique history and culture are evident everywhere you go. Smike says that if you take the time to get to know the people in Hungary, you will find that Hungarian people are warm, inviting, and welcoming. Smike is originally from Pennsylvania in America, and after a three-month-long vacation in Europe, Smike decided to settle in Hungary, is proud to call Budapest his home, and can't imagine living anywhere else. Smike owns a wine bar,https://www.bortodoor.com/ ( Bortodoor City), in Budapest, with two friends, one from the UK, and another from Australia. The wine bar is open Wednesday through Sunday and is a place for people to share a glass of wine during a wine tasting event, but also to meet and make new friends while listening to live music. Smike loves his life, spending time with so many different people every night at his wine bar, and finding great wines for everyone to enjoy.

Oenophiles (wine connoisseurs), like Smike take great pleasure in discovering new wines, and they are always eager to share their latest findings with others. While some might view them as snobs, Smike is breaking down wine stereotypes. Whether you’re a casual drinker or a knowledgeable connoisseur, if you love wine, you’re an oenophile. Smike, as an oenophile, is sharing his passion for wine, its many complexities, different varietal, and various regions where the wine comes from, with as many who enter his wine bar.

So whether you're just getting started on your wine journey or you're a seasoned pro, if you're in Budapest, it's worth seeking out the advice of an oenophile by searching for a wine bar near me and meeting Smike. After all, who better to trust when it comes to finding that perfect bottle than wine connoisseurs at Bortodoor City wine bar?

But if you're not in Budapest how do you learn about different kinds of wines, whether they be Hungarian or from elsewhere? Smike recommends you attend wine festivals.

Wine festivals are a great way to learn about different types of wines and meet the people who make wine. Wine festivals usually take place over a weekend and feature a wide variety of wines, as well as food and entertainment. Many wine festivals also offer educational seminars, allowing attendees to learn about wine tasting, food pairing, and winemaking. Some of the most popular wine festivals in the world take place inhttps://arewehomeyetpodcast.com/19-best-places-to-see-the-stars-and-moon/ ( France),https://arewehomeyetpodcast.com/study-in-the-netherlands-new-friends/ ( Italy), andhttps://arewehomeyetpodcast.com/moving-to-spain-to-retire-perfect-country/ ( Spain).

If you're curious what time it is in the UAE, it's classtime! Emily is a teacher from America who is fortunate enough to have worked in Kuwait in the Fall of 2019 where her international teaching career began, and now Abu Dhabi, starting from August 2021. Teaching abroad has been an amazing experience for Emily, she's learned a lot about different cultures and time zones. If you're interested in teaching abroad, or just want to learn more about Kuwait and the UAE, keep reading! My interview for episode 22 on the https://arewehomeyetpodcast.com/ (Are we home yet? podcast) is with a young American woman named Emily. There’s a vey popular show titled Emily in Paris, which has been a hit show on Netflix since it was released in October 2020. The show follows Emily, a marketing executive from Chicago, who is sent to work in Paris for her company. While Emily is initially reluctant to leave her home and comfort zone, she soon falls in love with the city and its culture. One of the key themes of the show is Emily’s journey of self-discovery, as she comes to terms with who she is and what she wants out of life. For many viewers, Emily in Paris is a relatable and aspirational story of finding oneself in a new place. And that’s what I thought about when I interviewed Emily, who is not in Paris, but teaching abroad in the Middle East, and finding it to be a rewarding experience, opening her eyes to new cultures and perspectives. Teaching abroad can also be a challenge, as you must adapt to different teaching methods and cultural norms. Nonetheless, teaching abroad is an incredibly valuable experience that Emily would recommend to anyone interested in exploring the world. Not only will you learn more about other cultures, but you will also gain a greater understanding of your own culture and identity. So if you’re thinking about teaching abroad, don’t hesitate to take the plunge – you won’t regret it!

During episode 20 on thehttps://arewehomeyetpodcast.com/welcome-to-the-are-we-home-yet-podcast/ ( Are we home yet podcast) Isabel talks about becoming a travel blogger and SEO coach who has lived in six different countries over the past few years. She's always on the move, living in different countries for a few months at a time. Mexico, Bolivia, Peru, and the Dominican Republic are all places that I have called home at one point or another. She has lived in each place for at least two months, except for Mexico where she stayed for five months.  Becoming a travel blogger and traveling to a new country can be both exciting and challenging, as Isabel discovered when she visitedhttps://arewehomeyetpodcast.com/fun-facts-of-the-world-of-the-world/ ( South America) for the first time.  Isabel said that as a travel blogger, she's been blessed with the opportunity to explore some amazing places. Every destination has its unique beauty, and she loves finding new ways to share that with her audience. Whether it's through stunning photos, captivating videos, or simply writing from the heart, she strives to provide her readers with an authentic travel experience. 

And as an SEO coach, she has been able to help other online entrepreneurs reach their full potential. By teaching them how to effectively optimize their content, I'm able to give them the tools they need to succeed in today's digital age. It's truly rewarding to work, and she's grateful to be able to do it entirely online. As a travel blogger, it's been a great opportunity for Isabel to learn more about different cultures and to connect with people from all over the world. When Isabel travels, she feels like she's discovering more about who she is. She's always been a shy person, but since she started travel blogging and doing it on her own, she's realized that she is a lot more independent and strong than she thought. Being on the road has helped her to see that she can take care of herself and that she's capable of so much more than she ever imagined. Traveling has been an act of self-discovery for her, and she's grateful for that. As a travel blogger, Isabel has had to deal with her fair share of logistical struggles. Every time she wants to move to a new country, she has to do extensive research on the best places to live, work, and play. She also has to find a place to rent, which can be difficult and time-consuming. However, despite these challenges, she believes that travel is always worth the effort. After all, it's one of the best ways to experience new cultures, explore new places and meet new people. Moving to a new country can be an inconvenience, but it's also an opportunity to learn and grow. So even though traveling to a new place may not always be easy, it's definitely worth the struggle.

How much does it cost to travel the world as a digital nomad? Kolby, creator of philosophy magazine After Dinner Conversation, for the last two years, he and his wife have been globe-trotting and visiting some of the most beautiful places in the world. They've been to Thailand, New Zealand, Italy, France, Croatia, Spain, Malta, Cypress, and Tanzania (among others), and they tend to change locations every three months or so. Kolby and his wife, Ashley, met many years ago when he was working on his law degree at Arizona State University and she was working on her university degree. They met at a race where she was doing a bicycle race and he was helping out a friend as a timer. They became friends, but didn't date, yet kept in touch via Facebook. Eventually, about 10 years later, in the middle of Ashley training for Ironman Kona, Kolby sent Ashley a message from Iceland asking her out on a date. They've been together ever since. They love traveling and value experiences and travel over money and houses and stuff. They're perfectly fine sleeping out of a tent and a backpack for days.  They've been all over the world and there's nothing they enjoy more than exploring new places together. They're a perfect match. Kolby runs an online literary magazine called After Dinner Conversation. He started it shortly after my wife and I got married, and it has been growing steadily ever since. The magazine went from short stories to anthologies, to a podcast, to a monthly magazine. He also does remote legal work as a lawyer. His wife is an online teacher for a charter school. Teaching online, doing consulting work, today there are many options for those who want to travel the world and make an income online. Overall, the cost of being a digital nomad can vary widely depending on your specific circumstances. Let's delve more into the question, how much does it cost to travel the world? Well, it doesn't have to be as expensive as you might think. You can travel cheaply by staying in hostels, Couchsurfing, and cooking your meals. You can also save money by planning your trip around low-cost destinations and seasons. Of course, how much you spend on travel will also depend on your style and preferences. Some people are happy to rough it to save money, while others prefer to splurge on occasional luxury items. Ultimately, the cost of travel is up to you. Whether you're a budget traveler or a jet setter, there's a way to make your travel dreams a reality.

Its mission is to inspire people of color to travel more and to see the world as a source of opportunity.I read an article Rafael wrote in Travel Noire, about almost being deported from Argentina.

And although it's wonderful that Rafael is happy to be there, for a while, in America he felt like he was existing, working in corporate America, instead of living and he had an overwhelming desire to travel. So Rafael decided to move abroad for a short while and travel. He and his fiancée planned for months, they had both dreamed of seeing the world and knew they didn't want to do it under the confines of a traditional 9-5. So they took the leap, handed in their resignations, and set off on the adventure of a lifetime. They've seen more of the world than they imagined and are excited to continue seeing it together in years to come. February 2019 marked a turning point in their life, they decided to take a leap of faith and travel to Bangkok, Thailand. It was a decision that would change everything. In Bangkok, they started their lives over, exploring new careers and lifestyles. Rafael became a travel writer contributing to Travel Noire, documenting their experiences for the Travel Noire site. His partner became a teacher, helping Thai students learn English. They embraced Bangkok and found a new sense of freedom.

This week's episode is with Amy Sommers, Author of Rumors from Shanghai, a Seattle native who is now back living in the city after a stint living abroad, living in Shanghai. We discussed what it was like to return to a city that she knew so well, and how her understanding of home has changed as a result of her and her family's experiences during their time in Shanghai. The conversation covered topics such as how our concept of home can shift when we move away, the importance of community and connection, and how to find a sense of belonging in a place that is constantly changing.https://www.amysommers.net/ (Amy Sommers) is the author of a book titled Rumors from Shanghai. It is about an African-American man, Tolt Gross, whose job brings him to live in Shanghai. He soon learns about a secret plan that Japan is plotting against Pearl Harbor but is concerned that no one will believe the word of a black man. Set in a pre-revolutionary era the book vividly captures the people of Shanghai, the history of the city's nightclub culture, architecture, and the environment of Shanghai.  Our conversation covered topics such as how our concept of home can shift when we move away, the importance of community and connection, and how to find a sense of belonging in a place that is constantly changing.

She got to know Shanghai through the eyes of people who gave lectures and walking tours. They showed her the city's hidden treasures and helped her to understand its complicated history. Amy is grateful to them for giving her a deeper understanding of the fascinating Shanghai. Throughout my interview with Amy Sommers, she also shares her personal story of returning to Seattle which has undergone a significant transformation in the intervening years. When she left in 2004, it was still a relatively small city with a scrappy, DIY attitude. But by the time she moved back in 2015, it had become a major tech hub, and that change was evident in everything from the skyline to the people on the streets.  In some ways, it felt like coming home to a place that is both familiar and new, and she's excited to see what the next chapter of Seattle's story will bring. Amy offers insights into the challenges and rewards of making a home in a city that you love, after living in China for 11 years.

If you’re reading this, there’s a good chance you’re interested in starting a business. And why not? Entrepreneurship is the key to independence and success. But what if you want to start a business overseas? Is it even possible?When Adam came to Malaysia and he started his own business there, and got into the health supplement industry, learning how to produce supplements. Many years ago Adam suffered from chronic fatigue syndrome, he did too much exercise which affected his immune system, so he was sick quite often. Adam looked at green products but wasn’t too impressed with the quality of the supplements available.So he decided to contact manufacturers in the US and see if it was possible to make his own and partnered with a manufacturer in the US to produce the products. This allowed him to get exactly the quality and results I was looking for. He also decided to produce it in the US because of the availability of third-party analysis and the large customer market there. It’s been challenging to set up a business based in the US while living in Malaysia, but he has made it work well. His Supergreen Tonik supplement has been featured in Yahoo! News, Morningstar, Washington City Paper, and StreetInsider. Today, Adam’s company provides high-quality supplements to customers all over the world. Adam takes the product and so he has invested interest in making it the best product that is commercially viable. He reads the reviews and sees that it’s a product that many people receive benefit from and that brings him joy.

Today’s guest is Stevy, an expat from Gabon who spent 17 years in Ghana and is currently living in Rwanda. He’s a conference interpreter, voiceover coach, English teacher, motivational speaker, and businessowner.  Stevy was still in high school when he left for Ghana. He worked freelancing jobs around West Africa and Kenya until he fell in love with Rwanda. He loves the cooler climate, the fresh, clean food, and the quiet atmosphere. He moved during a 2020 lockdown and set up a voiceover booth in his wardrobe. His wife and child joined him from Kenya 6 months later. What he discovered living in Rwanda, and in researching voice talent gigs, was that there is a rising demand for voiceovers, narrators, and interpreters with a natural African accent. This led him to found Gemini Multimedia, a network of voice talent available for projects, so that he can provide opportunities and help alleviate poverty in Africa. The visa process in Rwanda was very easy for Stevy and his family. The president removed the fee and gave anyone from one of the 54 African states 30 days for free to visit, and members of the East African community can stay for 6 months. The cost of living in Rwanda in cheaper, an example of that is the Rwandan business license, which is remarkably less expensive than in Ghana. Living in Rwanda, Stevy has found true peace of mind. He enjoys the presence of security forces, the quietness even in highly populated areas, and the openness of the people. In terms of struggles, the biggest problem he’s encountered is communication. There are language barriers that get in the way of doing everyday business. Stevy does consider Rwanda his forever home. His plan, once he has enough money, is to have properties in many different places, but his definition of home is wherever you can find the peace and joy that you’re looking for.  Connect with Stevy at http://www.geminimultimedia.org (www.geminimultimedia.org) Support the podcast,https://www.buymeacoffee.com/hellorx ( donate) and keep the cool interviews with guests from around the world going!

There are many reasons why someone might choose to become an ESL teacher, but one of the most common motivations is a love of travel. If you’re an English as a Second Language teacher, there’s a good chance that Beijing was your dream destination. https://arewehomeyetpodcast.com/move-to-beijing/ (Beijing )is a city that is full of opportunities for ESL teachers, and it’s a great place to live and work. However, the outbreak of Covid-19 has forced many ESL teachers to leave Beijing and return to their home countries.In this podcast episode, Amy, whom I met when we were both teaching for https://arewehomeyetpodcast.com/welcome-to-the-are-we-home-yet-podcast/ (Disney English in Beijing), shares her experience of creating a home in Beijing and offers advice for future expats who may find themselves in a similar situation.

When she saw an ad looking for English teachers in China with Disney English she thought why not? She didn’t know anything about China. When Amy moved to China to teach English as a Second Language, she didn’t know anything about the country. She was unsure of what to expect, and had to rely on YouTube videos and online research to learn about her new home.

She also tried reaching out to people who had already been there, ESL teaching, and everyone was just so helpful in getting me settled and finding an apartment and getting acclimated to the culture shock of living in China for the first time. However, once she arrived, she quickly realized that there is so much more to China than she could have ever imagined. The history, the culture, and the food are just a few of the things that make China such a fascinating place. And through her work as an English as Second Language teacher, she has had the opportunity to help other people discover all that this country has to offer. Her parents were concerned but she just reassured them and showed them that she was safe. During her Whatsapp calls she showed them around her neighborhood, her apartment, and made them feel like they were a part of it as well, and in a way, it stopped her from feeling very like homesick. When Amy thinks about what home means to her, she thinks of a place where she can be comfortable and herself around the people who she enjoys spending time with. For Amy, that place was Beijing. Although she spent less than one year living in Beijing as a teacher she absolutely loved it. She misses it every day. Beijing was a place where she felt like she belonged.

Today's guest on the podcast is Amanda, a professional chef who started off her life in America. Amanda worked is a semi-retired chef who still gives cooking classes, a former recipe developer for Food and Wine magazine, Essence magazine and former Chef Instructor at Sur La Table and Williams-Sonoma in California. Eventually Amanda decided moving to Spain to retire was a perfect idea. One of her main reasons to not choose retirement in America, was the fact that things were getting too crazy there. There was far too much violence for her and her husband to continue living there. So she decided to pack her bags and move to another country, somewhere where she wouldn't just retire. She'd make a home, live her best life. With some research about the best country to retire in, Amanda found herself retiring in Spain! In our conversation, I got to find out about life in Spain, and it's very intriguing, to say the least. So, in this post, I'm going to do a complete rundown of some of the top reasons why moving abroad, retiring in Spain, making a home in Spain, is a perfect idea.

https://arewehomeyetpodcast.com/guests/ (This week's guest on the podcast was Micael), an expat from Sweden who was born in Tanzania and lived there for a decade before moving to Sweden. But after spending 40 years there, he realized that he wanted to connect with the land he was born in, so he sold everything he owned, packed his bags, and moved to Tanzania. His experience, being a returning resident and retiring in Tanzania, was very insightful, considering he's in a pretty special position. He gets to see things from the perspective of being native to the country and an expat that's moved there. So there's a lot to discuss! In most of the world, you're pretty much dispensable when you hit 60. The closer you are to 60, the more "useless" you become. Micael knew that if he were to stay in Sweden, he'd just have a boring retired life where he was just sitting around doing nothing meaningful all day. But when he moved to Tanzania, he realized that it's all about the older population! The older you are, the more experience you've had in life, and the more respected you are. Micael felt that just his age alone gets him through a lot of the problems; the rest are easily dealt with because he speaks the language or he works through them. The bottom line is that even if you feel like you're too old, you're never too old to live in Tanzania To know more about Micael's experience moving to Tanzania, like is it safe to live in Tanzania, and more of what is Tanzania like to live in, tune into an https://arewehomeyetpodcast.com/guests/ (episode 12 of the Are We Home Yet Podcast)!

Japan is known throughout the world for being very unique in terms of culture. Even though every country in the world has its own customs and traditions, there's just something special about the way the Japanese go about their lives.

I met Dionne in Beijing, where she had been living abroad and making a home since 1997. She’s from Barbados and was offered a scholarship to study in China, which she took excitedly. Since this was a time before social media, personal relationships were absolutely essential to finding ways to moving abroad alone from Barbados, and living abroad successfully in China. She found the Chinese people to be very welcoming and gracious.  Before she could start school, she had to learn Mandarin so she could take her classes. The process of learning the language was very difficult, but luckily she had other foreign classmates that helped her out.  A friend got her an internship and then a job in a corporate events agency, and she has stayed in that industry ever since. However, she had to basically learn Mandarin again because the terms are so industry-specific compared to educational terms. She begins each day at 5:30am with meditation, exercise, and coffee, then some free time before going to work. She tries to go to bed by 9:30 in order to get a full 8 hours of sleep. In order to feel at home, she listens to a lot of Caribbean music and keeps her childhood bear with her. She now lives in San Francisco, after a transition of 10 months back in Barbados. She’s glad she had that transition time because she hadn’t realized how tightly strung she had been living in China, and is enjoying the more laid-back life in San Francisco. However, she’s had to rebuild her social network, and still feels some culture shock because she’s never lived in the US before.  One of the joys of moving abroad is that she really loves being able to share her own culture with her new friends.

There's something bittersweet about moving to a new country. On one hand, you open yourself up to a whole new world of possibilities and experiences that you could have in the new land. On the other, you might find yourself struggling to make yourself feel at home, even if you've lived there for years! This week's podcast was with Ziyo, a 27 year old from https://www.google.com.hk/search?gs_ssp=eJzj4tDP1TcwTykrNmD04ipJzMrMziwuScwDAEwwB0k&q=tajikistan&oq=tajiki&aqs=chrome.1.0i355i433i512j46i433i512j69i57j0i433i512l4j69i61.4114j0j7&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8 (Tajikistan )that had been moving all around the world since he was 17 years old! He talked about what home really means to him and how he goes about trying to make every new country he lives in as homey as possible. Even Ziyo agreed that this is probably the hardest part about moving abroad. However, it's not impossible. There are things you can do to make yourself feel at home in a new country, even if things seem super hard at first, and that's exactly what we're going to be discussing in this post, along with the little reasons you might be struggling to call the new place home.

Most of us grow up with a certain plan in mind. That plan is usually a “we’re going to live here, we’re going to get a particular degree, get a little house, and spend the rest of our lives, just hanging out.” But what if that didn’t have to be the plan? That’s exactly what the guest on this week’s podcast on the https://arewehomeyetpodcast.com/ (Are we home yet podcast) , Keesha, thought! Keesha was working as a teacher’s assistant in the UK. She loved working with kids, but it still wasn’t the most satisfying life. She wanted to be able to make the most out of her life and her career, so she started looking. She wanted to figure out what she could do that would give her job satisfaction but also life satisfaction, and eventually landed on the conclusion that she could teach in China, and well; her findings were very interesting. While you can hear all about Keesha’s experiences on this week’s podcast, the conversation with her gave me enough insight to put together a little moving abroad guide (link below)! Here's a cool thing, her teaching in China salary. Not only is she making a lot more money in China, but since the cost of living is lower , she’s able to have a much higher standard of living while doing the job that she really loves! This makes all aspects of teaching worth it for her. Keesha’s journey gives a lot of insight into what it’s really like to make the shift from teaching in the UK to teaching in China, and if you want to know more about it, tune in to episode 4 of the Are we home yet Podcast with Keesha!

Beijing might just be that perfect home away from home that you might be looking for! That’s something that I experienced, and the guest on this week’s podcast, Cale, did too! Throughout the podcast, Cale talked about his experience moving to Beijing, and how he managed to build a life there. Although the jobs in Beijing pay very well, what really makes a difference is the fact that the cost of living is fairly low. Sure, you might still be paying a chunk of your income for rent, but other things like transportation and food would balance it all out! That way, you can spend on things that really matter to you, whether that’s material things or experiences. In this week's podcast episode, I’ll be going over all the great things that make Being a top choice for expats, along with the things a lot of us had to learn the hard way so if you’re considering making the move yourself!

There are ways that you can travel without even having years of savings in your banks. That’s something I learned from Jenaya. When she said that she was moving to China in 12 days, I asked her , “Why teach English abroad?” She was already qualified teach in America and employed in the teaching profession. She said the only word that I needed to answer my other question, “Is it worth it to teach abroad?” Travel.

Want to move all around the world but don’t know if you can handle it? Most of us go through that phase at least once in our lives where we dream of moving abroad, we just want to pack up our bags and move to another country. In the past, that might’ve been extremely difficult, technology was lacking, and there were far too many barriers that restricted everyone’s movement. Not only that, but a severe lack of information about the world as a whole also made people wish and wish to move but left them in a space where they couldn’t do anything about it. I had a conversation with Dave Sperling, who spent many years of his life moving from one place to another, and each time, there were things he expected and things that would sneak up on him.We will be taking a closer look at what it’s like to move abroad, https://arewehomeyetpodcast.com/teach-in-china-versus-teaching-in-the-uk/ (all the fun things you should look forward to), and the not so fun ones, along with how you can cope with the curve balls moving abroad might throw your way to make your move, a lot easier!

It takes a long time and a lot of research to really feel at home in another country. That uncertainty is exactly why the "Are we home yet?" podcast was created! To bridge the gap between “this is a new place”, to get to a point where you can really feel like you’re home, even though you’re an expat and even if it’s a country that’s the total opposite of where you’re originally from! For you to know a new place and to stop asking, "Are we home yet?", you'll have to know all the ins and outs of the land. It requires making friends with local people, trying local foods, visiting popular places and/or places of significance to the local population, learning about the new place where you live. While Googling places does get you through the basics of it all, it's not until you're actually there that you get to experience things firsthand and figure out exactly how to make your way through the place. I went through the same exact thing when I moved to China. Although I was super excited, there was instantly this sense of being totally out of place because I had no idea how I was going to set up my “home” in a land that just felt so alien to me. Let’s just say I was quite literally the “fish out of water” until I found people like me, who had also moved to China a couple of years before me and were able to give me the guidance I needed to get my footing in the new land and make it my own. They allowed me to learn from their mistakes, skip over some of the process of figuring it out, and held my hand as much as possible throughout the whole moving process. That’s exactly what I want to do for other people too! With the Are We Home Yet podcast, that’s exactly what I’m doing! My moving abroad podcast features guests from all over the world, people that packed up their bags and moved abroad and had to do the work to make the place their home. Places that you might be interested in moving to too!With their interviews, I ask my guests are you home yet, and you can learn all about the different countries in the world they live, in detail. We’re talking real details about what you would need to live in a new place. This includes things like what to expect when you’ve just landed in the new lands, how to make sure you’re getting the right accommodation, where you can get the best food from, schools and universities, things to do, things not to do, real expat living, everything you can possibly need to know! By the time you’re done listening, you’ll have all of the information you might need to skip over the fish out of water phase and directly into the one where you never have to ask yourself, “Are we home yet?” because you’ll know everything you need to know to make the new place your true home!
