I dragged my fitness (not my personal one LOL) coach Jason into the "how to Be global" podcast. Seems random? Well yes and no: he’s a global human at heart, too.

Enjoy a conversation about building communities, living in Austria as an expat, testing the flexibility of morality, and SO MUCH MORE. Thank you Jason for sharing your story so openly!

Hola friends, please meet my friend Love Dager. This episode turned out into the first kick-off meeting for our future start-up (jump to 32:00). We’re both VERY passionate about bringing people together, hyping them up, connecting the dots, and creating an impact.

But not only that, we talked about “work hard but take care of yourself harder”, how to show up authentically, how to find out what local people do, and how to emerge into different cultures.

Grateful for the conversation, and for having you as a human in my life!

This week’s episode is for all you travel birds who love to explore new cities, absorb the local culture and have a positive impact.

Meet Edoardo Giani, a digital nomad creative designer and the founder of Localbird, a travel company that provides experiences (trips and local activities) in the Canary Islands. Local Bird  helps to educate long-term tourists (Nomads, Erasmus...) about the importance of knowing the local places, lifestyle and the culture in order to generate a positive impact during their stay. It promotes traveling as an immersion with the community to improve people’s knowledge and not limit themselves to the conventional leisure stay . This experience allows people to create deep social and professional connections with the locals, who differ from the ‘tourist invasion’, and the internationals, who find a linguistic or social barrier when they try to integrate.

This was such an inspiring conversation with John! He's been an expat for most of his life and lived more time in countries where he didn't speak the local language than vice versa. So many great lessons to learn from John.

I also interviewed John's wife Doreen in episode #87.

Yes, that's right! Doreen retired but decided instead of sitting at home in a rocking chair to continue exploring the world as a digital nomad. Very excited for this episode since I also interviewed Doreen's husband (check out episode #88).

Doreen is a true global citizen, a coach, an author, and a lifelong expat: from Scotland to Cameroon, to the UK, to Saudi, to Mexico, and many more countries. She works with returning executives, accompanying spouses and families who have completed overseas assignments. She helps them recover and debrief from their last overseas experience. Re-entry can be a rough and rocky road, fraught with hidden expectations and tough choices. Many suffer in silence, prolonging and postponing the terrific productive lives they could be enjoying

She solves this!

Linda is born in Denmark, yet has lived and worked around Europe for the last 15 years. She loves meeting new people and jumping right into learning about a new culture. At the moment she is living in Malta, but soon to move to France, she is self-employed and that gives her the advantage of a digital nomad.

Katka comes from Czechia and her interest in cultural differences brought her to her field of study, Arts Management. She spent a lot of time traveling to many parts of Europe (usually with locals). In past years she keeps coming back to Balkan where she already has many friends to work there for a few months a year. She loves exploring new cultural habits around the world.

“I’VE BEEN A PROFESSIONAL THIRD WHEEL FOR 10 YEARS. Yup, crazy I know! I've joined countless couples in their adventures of love. Why? People are my passion. Photography sprouted out of my desire to connect with people and make it known to the world that every human has equal worth and beauty. I dabbled in photojournalism before I fell in love with weddings. When I was in Kenya I had the privilege of documenting a few weddings, and that's when there was a SPARK.”

Thanks for sharing these incredible stories and giving us an insight into your job!

About my guest, Emmanuel Nyame:

Emmanuel is consistently building bridges to help nurture young people in education. His decade-long experience implementing projects in his home country, Ghana with the U.S. Department of State, United Nations, Governments and private sector organizations are testament to his proven impact in society.

He launched his maiden and #1 Best-Selling book, Rise Above: Interventions in Business and Social Impact, at the United Nations Headquarters in New York, during High-Level Political Forum on Sustainable Development in 2018. His book sparked conversations in hundreds of countries around the world about the importance of youth engagement.

This multiple award-winning "twenty-something" year old would stop at nothing but results-driven impact through education and social advocacy. He is open to collaborate with people and organizations that are "extremely serious" about developing Africa.
