In this solo episode, I share about why I don't consider myself an expat, even though I moved from the United States to Mexico. I break down what the word "expat" actually means, who it tends to describe, and why I believe it's rooted in privilege. I also share why I see myself as an immigrant instead, coming back to the country my parents fled decades ago, and what it's been like navigating that identity almost a year into our move to México.For detailed show notes, visit vivalamami.com/episode168What You'll Hear:〰 The real definition of "expat" and who it typically applies to〰 Why being a daughter of Mexican immigrants changes my relationship to this move〰 The difference between cultural tourism and cultural immersion during your first year abroad〰 Why I believe "expat" is a privileged word that avoids the term "immigrant"Resources Mentioned:〰 Join the VLM newsletter for deeper reflections like this one〰 1:1 relocation consultations for families considering a move to Mexico〰 Send your thoughts: podcast@vivalamami.com or DM me on Instagram @vivalamamiSupport the showSHOP MY NEWEST PRODUCTS - "How to Get Dual Citizenship in Mexico" E-Guide & Digital Course

#309EPC rules for UK landlords are changing from October 2026 — and a recent Nationwide report found that 67% of landlords have no idea it's coming.This episode is here to make sure you're not in that 67%.Energy Performance Certificates are about to get a major overhaul in England and Wales, and if you're a remote landlord managing UK property from abroad, these changes affect what you can rent, what you must upgrade, and how much it could cost you.To break it all down, I'm joined by Tim Kampel of Box Property Solutions, who has spent nearly two decades doing EPCs day in, day out — as a domestic, commercial and retrofit assessor, and as a property investor himself.Tim explains the new four-metric EPC system arriving in October 2026, which will score properties separately on fabric performance, heating system, energy cost, and smart readiness — replacing the single headline rating landlords are used to.We cover the exemptions being removed, so heritage properties, HMOs where even a single room is let, and short-term rentals will all need a valid EPC.We get into the big one: the requirement for most privately rented UK properties to reach EPC band C by 2030, with a £10,000 per-property spending cap.Tim also gives an honest reality check on why EPC deadlines keep shifting, how the rules are being used as a political bargaining chip, and why "proposed" doesn't mean you can afford to ignore them.And crucially for overseas landlords, Tim shares the single most important takeaway of the whole episode: under the new regime, you have to be able to prove everything — without evidence, the work simply won't count.Please note this episode focuses on England and Wales; Scotland has its own EPC rules.Check out our shorts on YouTubeOur WhatsApp  groupProperty Engine discounts (Code: EXPAT)Starter: 30 day trialPro: 30 day trial/3 mths 1/2 price, Ultimate: 1/2 price 3 monthsGoalsettingLeave a review37 Question Due Diligence Checklist / Auction GuideOur Sponsors: Finnigan McNeill Property GroupWhat you'll learn:The new four-metric EPC system coming to England and Wales in October 2026, and what each metric measures.Which EPC exemptions are being removed, and why heritage homes, HMOs and short-term lets are now caught.What the EPC band C by 2030 requirement means for UK landlords, and how the £10,000 spending cap works.Why EPC deadlines keep getting pushed back, and how to plan around rules that aren't yet law.The order EPC improvements should be tackled in, from fabric-first insulation to heating systems, and when that advice isn't practical.Why a recent software change has pushed some properties up to a C rating automatically, and why it's worth getting reassessed.How solar could become one of the smartest ways for landlords, especially HMO owners, to raise a rating and cut running costs.Guest: Tim Kampel of Box Property Solutions — a domestic, commercial and retrofit EPC assessor with nearly twenty years' experience, and a property investor himself.If you own or plan to buy UK rental property, understanding these EPC changes now — rather than in 2029 — could save you thousands and keep your properties legally lettable.

What do you do when you're offered an opportunity that will definitely stretch you but also scares you, and your first instinct is to hand it to someone else, because you feel you're not quite qualified? That's the moment we unpack in this interview with Ai Asakura, Alumni Program Manager for the TOMODACHI Initiative at the U.S.-Japan Council, who I met at an expat meetup in Fukuoka this spring — one with that same eclectic, cross-cultural energy as New York City, where you connect peer to peer with people from all walks of life. Ai is bicultural like me, and she's spent her career building bridges — between Japan and the U.S., and between mentees and the mentors who help shape their paths. But it took her some time to recognize being bicultural as her own superpower, and when she did, it empowered her to say yes to an opportunity most people would've handed to someone with a bigger title.Key TakeawaysLeadership is not a job title: You can be a leader as a mentor, a community organizer, a parent, or a volunteer—impact and initiative matter more than status.Networking is people-to-people connection, not transaction: Powerful “networking” often looks like simply being curious about others and building genuine human relationships.Bicultural identity is a superpower: Living between cultures, as Ai does between Japan and the U.S., creates unique insight, empathy, and the ability to act as a bridge.Opportunities often arrive through community: Ai's major career transitions—from hospitality to translation to TOMODACHI—came through relationships and community involvement.Saying yes can be the real “risky conversation”: Accepting the invitation to represent her region as a mentor felt risky to Ai, but turning it down would have meant betraying the message she gives her mentees about stepping up.Operation TOMODACHI to TOMODACHI Initiative: The humanitarian response to the 2011 Great East Japan earthquake evolved into a long-term leadership and exchange program impacting over 10,000 alumni.Exposure to hope changes trajectories: Young people from disaster-affected regions returned from U.S. programs with renewed hope, agency, and a desire to rebuild their communities.Community work can clarify your own identity: Serving Japanese communities in the U.S. helped Ai reconnect to her Japanese roots and recognize her role as a cultural bridge.Curiosity is a core leadership habit: Being genuinely interested in people—their stories, cultures, and experiences—naturally expands your world and your opportunities.There is still hope in the world: Despite global uncertainty, Ai emphasizes that human-to-human connection, especially across cultures, is a powerful source of hope.FeaturedConnect with Ai Asakura on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/ai-asakura0977/Learn about the US-Japan Council: https://www.usjapancouncil.org/Connect with Jamie Lee on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/leejieunjamie/Learn about 1:1 executive coaching with Jamie Lee here: https://www.jamieleecoach.com/applyText me your thoughts on this episode!Enjoy the show? Don't miss an episode, listen and subscribe via Apple Podcasts or Spotify.  Leave me a review in Apple Podcasts. Connect with meBook a free hour-long consultation with me.

A new financial year, a new set of rules, and a lot to recalibrate. Atlas Wealth Group Managing Directors, James Ridley (APAC) and Jeremy Harper (Mortgages) take stock of a softening Sydney market, diverging capital city performance, and what rising rents mean for the RBA's next move. The bigger conversation, though, is structural: with the incoming CGT changes hitting non-resident property owners particularly hard, buying in a personal name is increasingly hard to justify. They unpack why company structures are becoming the default for expat investors, what lenders are doing about it, and what every expat with an existing loan should be doing right now as the new financial year kicks off.

When you're a longtime expat, do your friends back home move on? We discuss on this episode from our archives. Expats often make friends with other expats in their adopted country. That can be great, but it also means that it's very likely that your new friends will, sooner or later, move away and you'll be back to square one. It's typical, therefore, for expats to consider their friends back home as their "real friends." But do those same friends feel the same way about them? While an expat may consider their childhood friends as their closest friends, the sad truth is, eventually, those friends will likely move on. On this episode from our archives, we talk about this and other hard topics facing expats and their long-distance friends.

Once you turn 65, you have roughly a 50/50 chance of needing extended care at some point. This episode breaks down what long term care insurance actually covers, what it costs, and how to structure it properly, especially for expats who may end up using benefits outside the US. This episode offers practical financial advice for expats and advice for immigrants trying to plan care decisions across two countries.   Richard Taylor, Chartered Financial Planner and founder of Plan First Wealth, is joined by returning guest Mark Maurer, President and CEO of LLIS, to explain the IRS triggers that qualify someone for long term care benefits and why average claim durations (around 2.5 years for men, 3.5-4 years for women) are far shorter than the worst-case scenarios people fear. As a British expat who built his practice around expat retirement planning, Richard frames the whole conversation through the lens of clients living abroad.   Richard and Mark walk through the three main ways to fund long term care: traditional standalone policies, permanent life insurance with a long term care rider and annuities with a long term care rider. They cover the real differences in premium structure, death benefits, tax treatment of benefits, underwriting requirements, and how 1035 exchanges can move an old annuity with deferred gains into a long term care policy tax-free.  They also discuss what happens to coverage if you move abroad. How international benefit provisions vary by carrier, why some policies cap overseas benefits at two years before requiring a return to the US, and what to check before relying on a policy while living outside the country. For anyone moving to the US or moving to America later in life, this is exactly the kind of detail that gets overlooked.   Whether you're 55 and starting to plan, caring for an aging parent, or advising clients with cross-border retirement assets, this episode covers the mechanics of long term care insurance in detail, not just the broad strokes. It fits into cross border financial planning for anyone managing international wealth across the UK and US. -- Expat Wealth is supported by Plan First Wealth.

Greg and Ed explore the small, unexpected joys of being an expat living in Thailand. Ed begins the main discussion by sharing his amusement over miscommunications regarding his job. Despite teaching university-level political science, Thai people frequently assume he is a basic English teacher, an error he enjoys correcting. Next, Greg discusses how he enjoys getting opted out of annoying situations due to his nationality. He notes that being a foreigner often grants him a free pass from sitting through tedious formal rituals or dealing with telemarketers who assume he does not speak Thai. Ed then brings up the relief of geographical distance from his home country, explaining that living overseas allows him to avoid participating in stressful family drama back in America. Greg relates to this, adding that it lets him prioritize his immediate family.  Continuing the conversation, Greg brings up his appreciation for the language barrier, which acts as a natural shield allowing him to completely tune out noisy local advertisements and background chatter. Next, Ed notes that he gets a surprising amount of unearned respect and admiration from locals simply for being an American citizen. Finally, Greg concludes the topic by admitting he loves taking advantage of low fashion expectations for foreigners, happily running errands in comfortable, unkempt clothing without feeling self-conscious about his appearance. Thanks, skeezeballs!

Meet Denison Smith, an American novelist who recently traded the wide-open landscapes of New Mexico for the rolling countryside of Portugal's Alentejo region.In this episode, Denison shares the story behind her move from the United States to Portugal, a journey that was years in the making thanks to Portugal's Golden Visa program. What started as an “insurance policy” gradually became a life-changing decision, prompted by political shifts in the U.S., a desire for new possibilities, and the opportunity to build a slower, more intentional life abroad.We talk about the realities of relocating to Portugal, from navigating Portuguese bureaucracy and learning the language in a rural community to buying a home in the Alentejo and finding an unexpected network of artists, creatives, and fellow internationals living off the beaten path. Denison also reflects on the challenges of importing her car, surviving one of Portugal's wettest winters in recent memory, and adapting to a culture where things happen face-to-face and at a very different pace.Along the way, we discuss what makes Portugal so appealing to expats: the warmth of local communities, the slower rhythm of life, the sense of trust between neighbors, and the beauty of living in a place where human connection still comes first.Denison also introduces her newly released novel, The Westward Hours, a speculative fiction story that explores climate change, political upheaval, resilience, and humanity's relationship with the land. Interestingly, the themes of the novel mirror many of the reasons that ultimately led him to make the move to Portugal.If you're considering moving to Portugal, curious about life in the Alentejo, or interested in hearing an honest account of starting over abroad later in life, this episode is full of insights, stories, and practical realities.

Greetings Glocal Citizens! This week on the podcast, we re-presenting an episode that first posted nearly five years ago in the summer of 2021. At the time, my guest, Elizabeth Ann [Campbell Parks] Rollins-Moskowitz, Liz Campbell for short, was empty nesting and remote grandmothering while diving ever deeper into her art using her Mill Valley, California setting as a constant muse. Today she's hands on grandmothering, establishing herself in the Nairobi art scene and making new friend across generations. At 87, Grandma Liz continues to be an examplar of what Glocal Citizenship is all about. She relocated to Nairobi--her new muse, to join fellow podcast alum and son, Salim Rollins three years ago, and with a borderless mindset hasn't looked back. Last weekend she held [her first exhibit in Nairobi]([https://www.instagram.com/p/DZmt2RWOQSA/) and we couldn't be happier to celebrate this dynamic diasporan! Where to find [Liz]([https://glocalcitizens.fireside.fm/guests/elizabeth-rollins-moskowitz) and Salim?Special Guest: Elizabeth Rollins-Moskowitz.

What if travel in retirement wasn't about seeing more places—but about living more fully?In this episode of Beyond Retirement, Jacquie Doucette sits down with Andrew Motiwalla, founder of The Good Life Abroad, to talk about a style of retirement travel that's changing how people 55+ experience the world: slow travel with built-in community.Andrew shares how his Peace Corps experience in Honduras planted the seed for month-long stays that move you out of “tourist mode” and into real life; routines, local cafés, cultural events, and friendships that form naturally when you stay long enough to be recognized. You'll hear why The Good Life Abroad is not a tour, how their cohort model works, and how community managers create light, optional touchpoints (like cooking classes, walking tours, and local experiences) that help you feel supported without being scheduled to death.You'll also love Andrew's perspective on “joyspan”—the idea that we can intentionally expand the years of joy, purpose, and connection in our lives. For many retirees, identity shifts can feel disorienting. Andrew explains how immersive travel can help you grow through learning, connect through shared values, and adapt to new experiences, often leaving you with more confidence and a bigger sense of possibility than when you arrived.Key Topics CoveredWhy slow, immersive travel creates deeper learning: Why a month in one place creates a completely different travel experienceCommunity as a foundation for joy in retirement: What travelers feel after week 1, week 3, and week 4 of immersive living & why community can be the most surprising (and meaningful) part of the experienceIdentity shifts after leaving work: Rediscovering purpose through curiosity and explorationConfidence gained from adapting to new environments: Why small discomforts lead to growth & how The Good Life Abroad supports safety, comfort, and independence (55+)Travel as a test‑drive for expatriate life: “Expat-curious” scouting trips to test-drive a city before moving abroadWho this style of travel is best for: (hint: curiosity matters)How slow travel affects your budget: Ballpark pricing for a month-long program and what's includedListener OfferBeyond Retirement listeners can use the referral code BEYONDRETIREMENT when booking with The Good Life Abroad to receive an exclusive listener discount.Connect with Andrew:Via email: Andrew@thegoodlifeabroad.comOn the web: https://thegoodlifeabroad.comREADY TO RAMP UP YOUR RETIREMENT JOURNEY?Start here: https://beyondretirement.ca/start-here/Book a FREE call with Jacquie: https://calendly.com/jacquiedoucette/discoveryCheck out the Beyond Retirement Library: https://placeforbooks.com

Returning to Ireland can look straightforward from the outside. You know the place, you may have family here, and there is often a comforting idea that moving home should be easier than moving away. As Sarah Owen explains in this episode, that is not always how it works in practice.Stephanie Wickham speaks with Sarah Owen from Crosscare Irish Diaspora Support Project about the real-life issues facing Irish citizens and their families when they are emigrating or returning to Ireland.Sarah explains why planning a return should include more than flights and shipping boxes. It highlights the importance of checking housing options, PPS numbers, school places, healthcare access, social welfare eligibility and local supports before the move, especially where the return is happening quickly.For anyone also dealing with foreign income, foreign savings, foreign assets, tax residency or cross-border tax questions, this episode is a useful reminder that the practical and financial pieces often overlap. Personalised tax advice may still be needed where the timing of the move affects Irish tax resident status, worldwide income, Irish-source income or future tax compliance.About the GuestSarah Owen is Project Leader with Crosscare Irish Diaspora Support Project, a Dublin-based nonprofit funded by the Government of Ireland. Crosscare provides information and advocacy assistance to Irish citizens moving abroad and returning to Ireland, with a particular focus on people who are marginalised or in crisis.Sarah is a dual Irish and French citizen with lived experience of migration. She has worked in Irish diaspora support and engagement for almost 15 years, across frontline support, policy, research and outreach. Her work is grounded in helping people make informed migration decisions, rather than pushing them towards or away from returning.Website: https://diasporasupport.ie/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/sarahelisabethowen/*****Use the link below and quote "Expat Taxes" when registering with Currencies Direct to receive a €50 One4All or Amazon voucher when you transfer €5000 or more in your first six months with Currencies Direct.*Click here for a special offer from our sponsor, Currencies Direct******If you loved this episode or have a similar story, we'd love to hear from you!

Edgar Award–winning novelist Chris Pavone on creating tension that never lets up, editing a book to make it bigger rather than just better, and turning a single apartment building into a portrait of a whole city. We discuss Why every book has to be one clear thing before it can be anything else. How two decades of editing other people's books prepares you to write your own. The offhand note from a legendary editor that quietly transformed a debut, and why the vaguest feedback can be the most useful. What it means to edit a book to make it bigger, not just to make it less bad. Why tension, not speed, is what truly keeps a reader turning pages. A counterintuitive case for telling readers what's coming on page one, then making them wait for it. How to keep generating questions and withholding answers without ever feeling coy. The one-page document worth months of tinkering before a single chapter gets written. What turns a story set in a city into a genuine portrait of that city. When to separate your hopes from your expectations, and what success can actually look like for a working novelist.
