Living Abroadcast

Welcome to Living Abroadcast! Erich flies solo on hosting duties this week but is joined by the amazing Laura! We talk about never visiting each other's current city of residence, and discuss our respective city's highlights before jumping to Laura's globe trotting life starting from the UK, before making her way to Toronto. We learn a lot about Australian wildlife, different types of beaches, party towns, ice skating and potentially even pitch a new business. Enjoy!

Welcome to Living Abroadcast! This week we're joined by our good friend Geena, for our most philosophical episode to date. We wax poetic about her self invented "bing bong" lifestyle, talk about working together, and her transition to living in her van. Then get to her travels in Nepal and India, and get very serious about the morality of global tourism. It's goofy and personal and serious and one of the most fun and unique episodes to date. Enjoy!

Welcome to Living Abroadcast! This week we're joined by our first husband and wife guest duo, Kaho and Tristan!

It's a great story that gives a great quarantine perspective from a country hit hardest. Enjoy!

Welcome to Living Abroadcast. Apologies in advance for the audio, we're still working on remote recording, but the content is worth it.

Welcome to Living Abroadcast! It's just Erich and Mikey again this week and the topic quickly turns to the health concern that seems to be on everybody's mind these days.

Welcome to Living Abroadcast! This week we're joined by 2(!) wonderful guests.
