“If I really spent $4,000 a month, I'd have a villa and a problem.”Having Markeiz back on Discover Vietnam felt like picking up a conversation we never really finished the first time. When he first joined me back in 2020, I was recording out of my bedroom, praying the iPhone wouldn't ruin the audio. This time, we were sitting in a full podcast studio — lights, cameras, a technician, the whole lot. It made me think about how much this show has grown, and how much life in Vietnam has shaped both of us.This episode wasn't about headlines or clickbait. It was about getting past the noise — especially the noise created after his CNBC video “Living on $4,000 a Month in Vietnam” went viral. That title got people talking, but most of the reactions didn't include the actual context. And nothing drives me madder than a story taken out of context.I wanted to let him tell the full story himself — the chaos that brought him to Vietnam, the visa confusion everyone goes through, the reality behind that $4,000 figure, and why life here works for him. What I loved most is that the conversation wasn't defensive. It was honest. It was grounded. It was two people who love living in Vietnam but also understand the complexities and privilege that come with that.Key Talking Points1. The Real Story Behind the “$4,000 in Vietnam” Headline2. From Military Punishment to a Life Rebuilt Abroad3. Visa Confusion, Missteps, and the Reality of Living Here4. What Life in Vietnam Actually Costs — Not the Myths5.

In this episode, we answer your most pressing expat property and tax questions — including how long you need to move back into a property to reset the six-year rule, what's required to re-establish Australian tax residency, and the implications for citizens purchasing property after years abroad.

Lately, I've been thinking a lot about those chapters in life where everything looks “fine” from the outside — yet something deep inside whispers that this isn't really your place anymore. Not because anything is dramatically wrong, but because you know you're meant for something different… something more aligned. In this episode of This Expat Life, I dive into a concept that came up inside The Co-Pilot and instantly struck a chord: the waiting room. It's that in-between phase where life feels like a 6/10 — functional, familiar, even comfortable — but not truly fulfilling. The kind of place you don't choose, but somehow drift into. I share how the waiting room has shown up in my own expat journey, how easy it is to stay there longer than you intend, and the subtle ways we end up waiting for clarity, timing, or external signs before we permit ourselves to move. If you've ever felt like you're hovering between chapters, knowing you want change but not knowing when or how to start, this episode will speak to you. It will help you see where you might be giving your power away — and what becomes possible once you decide you're done waiting. I'd love to hear if this resonates. Send me a DM on Instagram at @amandamaxime, or email me at info@amandamaximecoaching.com. And if you want to get OUT of the waiting room... Your next door to open is my signature program The Co-Pilot, starting again in early 2026.

In this episode, I'm speaking with Bryan McInnis, who moved from the United States to Kampala, Uganda with his wife and two daughters.Every immigrant has felt the tension of the pull towards your people as you settle into the new country. The comfort of shared references, familiar jokes, conversations that don't require any literal or cultural translation.Bryan McInnis was no different. But he and his wife left the United States specifically to give their kids a more robust picture of the world. You can't do that if you only hang out in the expat bubble.And so 6+ months into life in Kampala, Bryan's learning about cultural differences that only show up if you dig in.Bryan and I chat about:What it's like to move the United States to UgandaThe trip that kicked off everythingThe Ugandan entrepreneurial impulse that defies the “Africa is slow” stereotypeWhat it means to raise third-culture childrenWhy he thinks his family is more intentional now than ever

Welcome to the one hundred sixty first episode of the #ExpatChat podcast. We explore the latest tax, investment, and financial issues affecting #AustralianExpats. In this episode, Atlas Wealth Group Managing Directors Brett Evans and James Ridley break down the tax implications and financial considerations for Australian rugby players joining the new R360 tournament. Brett and James dive into the buzz around R360 and clarify the common misconception that player salaries will be “tax-free.” They explain why Australian tax residency rules make this more complicated than it seems—especially for professional athletes on short-term contracts. The discussion covers how section 23AG exemptions might apply and what players would realistically need to do to qualify. The episode also explores Saudi funding behind the league, the involvement of high-profile players, and commercial opportunities around both R360 and the P&G NRL team. Brett and James stress the importance of independent tax advice before signing overseas contracts, given the risks of remaining an Australian tax resident or losing NRL eligibility. They conclude with practical guidance for athletes, expats, and advisors navigating cross-border tax rules, while also sharing a preview of the final episodes of the year. Packed with myth-busting insights and timely advice, this episode equips Australian expats and athletes with a clear understanding of the real tax implications of international sporting deals and the considerations to make before moving abroad.

They lounge on picnic rugs, shaking off the week of cooking, cleaning – and raising other people’s kids. Singapore has more than 300,000 migrant domestic workers, or “helpers”, as they’re called and many care for the children of expats, including Australians.

Today, South-East Asia correspondent Zach Hope on this extraordinary workforce and the system, he says, is premised on profound sadness.Subscribe to The Age & SMH: https://subscribe.smh.com.au/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

This episode is Part 1 of Stephanie's conversation with Gráinne Convery. Make sure you subscribe for Part 2 coming in the next episode.Moving to Ireland is exciting, but the practicalities can make or break those first few months and expend all the energy you have.In this episode, I'm joined by Gráinne Convery of Cronin Group to unpack the real-world relocation hurdles we see every week: the rental market crunch, how to be taken seriously by agents, pet and family considerations, and getting school places sorted without losing your sanity.We walk through the things you need to secure a home before you land, like virtual home searches, the 40% affordability rule many applicants trip over, and the unspoken realities landlords apply around pets, kids, and bedroom allocations.On schools, Gráinne explains how we compare curricula, manage waitlists, and steer families toward realistic options—so children settle faster and parents sleep better.The key thing to note here is planning early. If you understand what agents expect, how affordability is assessed, which developments accept pets, and which schools are actually possible, you'll avoid a lot of unnecessary stress.Main Topics Discussed in this Episode:Ireland's Rental Reality: The housing shortage, agent gatekeeping, and why starting early dramatically improves outcomes.Virtual Home Search: Viewing by video, negotiating on your behalf, handling paperwork, and key collection before you arrive.The 40% Affordability Rule: How many landlords/agents assess rent vs. net income—with examples that catch expats off guard.Pets, Children & Unspoken Landlord Rules: Practical barriers for families and pet owners, and how to target developments where you'll be considered.School Places & Curriculum Fit: How Cronin supports school searches, manages expectations, and aligns international curricula with Irish options.Get in touch with Grainne:LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/grainne-convery-globalmobility/Email: grainne.convery@croningroup.ie (and mention the podcast when you do!)Website: https://ireland-relocations.com/*****If you loved this episode or have a similar story, we'd love to hear from you!

Welcome to the one hundred sixtieth episode of the #ExpatChat podcast. We explore the latest tax, investment, and financial issues affecting #AustralianExpats. In this episode, Atlas Wealth Group Managing Directors Brett Evans and James Ridley address questions asked on the Expat Facebook Group. In this Q&A-style episode, Brett and James dive into some of the biggest questions expats are asking right now — from tax residency confusion to superannuation rules, property strategies, currency management, and navigating life abroad. They break down how tax residency really works, the difference between the proposed 45-day rule and the long-standing 183-day test, and what expats should keep in mind before making property or mortgage decisions in Australia. Brett and James unpack common myths around superannuation access and clarify that there have been no legislative changes preventing financial advisers from managing super or investment portfolios for US-based clients. Also discussed are practical topics like foreign investment rules, FIRB considerations, depreciation allowances, managing currency exchanges, and how dollar-cost averaging can help avoid unnecessary FX costs. They also touch on medical insurance requirements for returning expats and the importance of keeping a passenger movement record to avoid lifetime loading. Packed with clear explanations and real-world guidance, this episode gives expats and dual citizens the clarity they need to make smarter tax, investment, and lifestyle decisions while living abroad.

Navigating Expat Taxes: Insights for Dream RetireesSnagged a dream place in Puerto Vallarta or Mykonos… and now the IRS is at the door? Today we're joined by expat tax expert Michelle Miele (Director of Paperwork) to decode how U.S. taxes work when you retire abroad. We cover Social Security, IRA/401(k)/Roth distributions, self-employment/online business income, countries with and without U.S. tax treaties, foreign tax credits, and common traps (like selling your U.S. home after you change tax residency). Three real-world scenarios—Mexico, Portugal, and Thailand—show you how this plays out.Key Takeaways:Filing ≠ owing. You'll likely file in the U.S. even after moving, but credits/treaties can prevent double tax.Order matters: generally file where you live first, then the U.S., and use foreign tax credits to offset.Roth alert: some countries tax Roth distributions; plan timing and residency to protect withdrawals.Entity traps: your LLC/S-corp may be treated as a corporation abroad; confirm local treatment before you move.Real estate timing: if selling a U.S. primary home, sell while still a U.S. tax resident to preserve exclusions.Benefits trade-off: higher taxes in some countries may be offset by much lower healthcare and living costs.Related Queer Money Episodes:Ep 614 — Top 5 Cities for Gay Retirement in TaiwanEp 610 — Best LGBTQ+ Retirement Cities in GreeceEp 607 — The $6,000 “Boomer Bonus” Deduction StrategiesEp 599 — Affordable Gay-Friendly Cities in PortugalEp 542 — Gay Expats in Mexico: Pacific Coast EditionChapters:00:11 - Navigating Taxes as an Expat Retiree03:51 - Understanding Tax Obligations for Expats11:34 - Tax Implications of Living Abroad14:10 - Tax Obligations for Expats: A Case Study21:25 - Retirement Abroad: Tax Implications28:09 - Planning for Retirement AbroadMentioned in this episode:Get Your Portugal Golden Visa Faster Here!Want a European passport with access to living in nearly any European country?

In today's episode we're talking with Katie McCormick, an American ex-pat living in Ireland who is choosing home birth to welcome her baby into the world. Katie and her husband Ryan decided to leave their life in Portland, Oregon - quit their jobs and travel across Europe. About a year ago, they decided to settle in Ireland, eloped and got pregnant shortly after.  Katie knew immediately that she wanted to have a home birth. But being an expat in a new country, she had no idea where to begin as far as planning and resources. To use her words from her email to us: “When we got pregnant we were still living in a very temporary living space (think garage remodeled into a loft) on a sheep farm where we were 2 hours from the hospital, and no midwifes were willing to travel to us, so my initial search for beginning the birth plan kept coming up dry until one day through some magical universal energy I found a woman that recommended our midwife to us! However we would have to move 2 hours south to be close enough to be in her “region,” so thank  the stars we just recently have found a home on the southern coast of Ireland and got the “go ahead” from our midwife that we can birth in this house as we are close enough to her….. We are away from all our family, we are still foreigners in a new environment, yet we just know this is divine timing and this is where our child is meant to be born. The house we are living in now is a 150 year old stone cottage, and our landlady said many many babies have been born here; it feels quite kismet. Most people back in the states think we are little crazy/can't believe we are doing this without family around etc, but truly we have never felt more supported than the community of people in our village, and little did I know we moved to an area where most women prefer home birth and have multiple stories to share. It is a small community, but because it is on the ocean, rugged, and so natural in this area, it is like a vortex of very creative and earthy people-it is an energy that makes you feel invincible.” We speak with Katie in the last few weeks of her pregnancy and get to hear how she's feeling as the time in her pregnancy winds down and they prepare for baby's arrival. She also shares the experience of what's it like to have all of their family back in the States as they plan for home birth in their new home and country. Tune in and get ready for another inspiring pre-home birth story!
