Changes are coming to UK inheritance tax legislation. From April 2027, many expats with UK Self-Invested Personal Pensions (SIPPs) could face a 40% UK inheritance tax hit on pension values above the £325,000 nil-rate band, but the way the new rules are drafted may allow non-long-term UK residents to structure their SIPPs so that non-UK underlying assets sit outside the UK inheritance tax net.    Richard Taylor, dual UK/US citizen and Chartered Financial Planner, is joined by Tobias Gleed-Owen, Senior Associate at Birketts, to discuss the upcoming changes to SIPPs and inheritance tax. This episode of Expat Wealth explores how UK expats, or future recipients of a UK inheritance or pension, can prepare for the April 2027 changes. Richard and Tobias unpack how the draft UK rules will treat pensions for inheritance tax, why the position most people have assumed is likely wrong, and how looking through to the underlying investments in an SIPP may keep large portions of a UK pension outside the UK inheritance tax net.    In this episode, Richard and Tobias take a detailed look at:    The big picture: An overview of the 2027 UK inheritance tax change on pensions.    Practical planning opportunities: How to structure or restructure your SIPP investments.    What to do if you have an old defined benefit pension.    Pension Commencement Lump Sums: Whether or not the UK 25% “tax-free lump sum” is tax-free in the US.     --    Expat Wealth is supported by Plan First Wealth.

Die Welt zu Gast in der Deutschschweiz! Viele ausländische Fachkräfte arbeiten einige Jahre hier für eine international tätige Firma. Diese sogenannten Expats kommen mit Hochdeutsch oder Englisch gut durch. Aber einige lernen auch Schweizerdeutsch. Der Sprachlehrer Marco Fenaroli hat jahrelange Erfahrung als Leiter für Schweizerdeutschkurse. Von ihm wollte Mundartredaktor Markus Gasser unter anderem wissen, mit welcher Muttersprache man Vorteile hat beim Schweizerdeutschlernen – und mit welchen weniger. Das führt zur Frage, wie man die Distanz zwischen Schweizerdeutsch und anderen Sprachen überhaupt messen kann. Kollegin Nadia Zollinger hat sich mit Melissa Tan aus Singapur ausgetauscht. Sie lebt seit anderthalb Jahren in Zürich und spricht schon jetzt ein beachtliches «Züritüütsch». Aber was motiviert sie überhaupt, Mundart zu lernen? Die Antworten der beiden helfen, allfällige Vorurteile gegenüber Expats, etwa, dass sie sich nicht integrieren wollen, zu hinterfragen. Wiederholung der Sendung vom 31.3.2022 Familienname Duttwiler und Duttweiler Der Familienname Duttwiler mit den Schreibvarianten Duttwiler und Duttweiler ist ein Herkunftsname, der zum thurgauischen Dorfnamen Tuttwil (Gemeinde Wängi) gebildet ist. Ein Wernherus de Tuotewilere lebte um 1150 nachweislich in Tuttwil.

Ep #103: Mental Health for Expats — Building Community Abroad with Moved With PeaceSummary of the EpisodeWhat really happens after you move abroad and the honeymoon phase wears off?In this episode of noseyAF, host Stephanie Graham sits down with writer and community-builder Stephanie Rubinato to talk honestly about mental health for expats, postpartum depression, and the emotional realities of building a life far from home. Living abroad is often portrayed as dreamy and effortless—but this conversation pulls back the curtain on what's usually left out.Stephanie shares her personal experience navigating postpartum depression after moving to Italy, the isolation many immigrants and expats feel, and why community care is just as important as cultural immersion. Together, they unpack slow living, creative burnout, friendship shifts, and what it really takes to build meaningful support systems abroad.This episode is a grounding, honest reminder that moving overseas doesn't magically solve everything—and that seeking help, sharing resources, and building community is part of the journey.What We Talk About(aka: the real stuff you don't see on Instagram

In our last episode, we shared that I'll be retiring from my corporate role at the end of March. And for us, that doesn't mean slowing down. It means changing how we travel. For years, we've moved fast. We've packed itineraries. We've seen incredible places in short windows of time. But this next chapter is going to be different. We don't just want to visit places anymore. We want to stay. To rent an apartment for a month. To shop at the same market twice in a week. To learn the norms of a neighborhood. To go deeper. So when we came across The Good Life Abroad, it caught our attention right away. Because what Andrew Motiwalla has built aligns almost exactly with where Melissa and I find ourselves right now. It's designed for people 55 and older who want to live abroad for one to three months — not as tourists, but as temporary locals — with built-in community and support. What you'll discover in our interview with Andrew: How The Good Life Abroad makes “living abroad” doable (even if it feels overwhelming): vetted apartments, a local community manager, built-in community, and a safety net (insurance, English-speaking doctors, help getting oriented). What it actually feels like to live in Europe for 1–3 months: the real adjustments (noise, late dinners, smaller kitchens, no ADA) and how the program prepares you so those things don't become deal-breakers. Why slow travel + community changes everything in this season of life: how retirees find their “tribe,” travel with intention (like taking a class before a trip), and use longer stays to go deeper than a cruise or a one-week vacation.

What happens when motherhood unfolds thousands of miles from home without your village, your culture, or your familiar rhythms of life?In this honest, globally rich conversation, I sit down with Rosamaria Mancini, an Italian-American mother, author, and expat who shares her journey from growing up in New York to building a life across Europe. In a life of moving to Rome for work, marrying her Italian husband, and later raising two children in Germany, Rosamaria found herself wrestling with loneliness, identity shifts, and the emotional weight of motherhood abroad.During one of her most isolating seasons, podcasts became an unexpected lifeline, offering connection, companionship, and a reminder she wasn't alone. That experience ultimately inspired her to write a book exploring how listening to podcasts helped preserve her mental health and sense of self while living far from home.This episode is an engaging listen for expat moms, military spouses, mothers navigating isolation, and anyone who has ever felt unseen during a vulnerable season of motherhood.In This Episode, We Discuss:What it's really like raising children as an expat motherThe loneliness and identity loss many moms experience living abroadCreating emotional connection when your support system is far awayTurning personal survival into a story that helps other mothers feel less aloneWho This Episode Is For:Expat and internationally living mothersMoms navigating loneliness, isolation, or major life transitionsWomen searching for connection while raising children far from familyPodcast lovers curious about the emotional power of audio storytellingRosamaria's story is a reminder that even in the quietest, loneliest moments of motherhood, connection is possible and sometimes it arrives through a pair of headphones when you need it most!

Tout le monde a entendu parler au moins une fois de l'affaire des bébés congelés. Ces crimes sordides ont fait la Une des journaux en 2006 en France, mais aussi en Corée, puisque c'est dans un appartement de Séoul que l'horrible découverte a été faite. Le mystère est resté entier pendant des mois, même après que des tests ADN ont démontré que ces bébés cachés dans un congélateur étaient nés du couple qui habitait l'appartement, les Courjault. Ce qui était en théorie impossible, puisque Véronique, la mère, ne pouvait plus avoir d'enfants depuis 3 ans...Crimes • Histoires Vraies est une production Minuit.

Beaucoup de pays espèrent le retour de leur diaspora sans pour autant prévoir d'accompagnement pour leurs citoyens qui sont nés et ont grandi à l'étranger.

I first published this episode two and a half years ago in June 2023, in commemoration of the death of the great Tina Turner. As always when I take on such an iconic figure, I try to give a different perspective on the artist in question than one would normally encounter. For this reason, I chose to frame Tina within the context of the many other female pop artists of color who emigrated to Europe and the UK. I have devoted a lot of time, space, and research to the Black opera singers who came here, but there is an equally fascinating story to be told about the pop singers of many eras and genres, who also chose to make Europe their home. Though this episode focuses primarily on Tina and some of the less-explored material throughout her career, I seek to contextualize her by also discussing the many African American singers, from Joséphine Baker to Donna Summer to Nina Simone to Dee Dee Bridgewater, who either spent formative time in Europe or settled there permanently. Along with the aforementioned favorites, I also focus on lesser-known artists such as Beauty Milton, Vickie Henderson, and Betty Dorsey, including a brief introduction to each of four singers who will be featured in their own episodes during Black History Month: Adelaide Hall (coming on Monday!), Elisabeth Welch, Bertice Reading, and Salena Jones (who just recently celebrated her 82nd birthday). Count on Countermelody (and me!) to always bring you something a little different! Countermelody is the podcast devoted to the glory and the power of the human voice raised in song. Singer and vocal aficionado Daniel Gundlach explores great singers of the past and present focusing in particular on those who are less well-remembered today than they should be. Daniel's lifetime in music as a professional countertenor, pianist, vocal coach, voice teacher, and author yields an exciting array of anecdotes, impressions, and “inside stories.” At Countermelody's core is the celebration of great singers of all stripes, their instruments, and the connection they make to the words they sing.

Welcome to the one hundred sixty ninth episode of the #ExpatChat podcast, Taxation of US Retirement Accounts. In this episode, Atlas Wealth Group's Managing Director – APAC, James Ridley, is joined by special guest Martin Jack, Atlas Wealth's US specialist Financial Planner, while co-host Brett Evans is away. With US tax season underway, James and Martin unpack one of the most common and confusing topics facing Australian expats in the United States: how US retirement accounts are taxed and what happens to them when you eventually return home. They break down the key differences in how the IRS and the ATO treat US retirement accounts, and why those differences can create unexpected tax outcomes on repatriation. The conversation covers the most common US retirement structures, including 401(k)s, IRAs, Roth IRAs, and employer-sponsored matching strategies, as well as less familiar plans such as 403(b) and 457 accounts. Martin explains what is taxed versus tax-free, how transactions are viewed from an Australian perspective, and what returning expats should carefully consider before making decisions around their retirement savings. Packed with practical scenarios and expert insights, this episode is essential listening for Australian expats in the US who want clarity and confidence around US retirement accounts, cross-border tax rules, and planning for life after repatriation.

You may think that seeking investments as an Expat in Ireland is as simple as finding the right advice. In practice, though, the conventional wisdom doesn't always mean the best results for you.In Part 2 of my conversation with Paddy Delaney of Informed Decisions, we get into some of the assumptions many people hold about investing as they move closer to retirement, particularly the idea that “de-risking” automatically means safety. Paddy explains why that conventional wisdom doesn't always stack up in practice, and why understanding volatility, time horizons, and having a proper plan matters far more than simply defaulting into a middle-of-the-road fund.We also spend time on something that comes up constantly in my work with expats: fees, transparency, and how to tell whether you're getting advice or being sold a product. We talk about commission, “free” financial plans, what questions you should be asking before you sign anything, and how easily costs can stay hidden in the background for years if you don't know where to look. This is particularly relevant if you've brought pensions or investments with you from another country and are trying to make sense of how everything fits together in Ireland.If you haven't yet, make sure you listen to Part 1 of my conversation with Paddy for all of his advice about financial planning, and to prepare you for this episode.Main Topics Discussed in this Episode:Challenging the “De-Risking” Myth Near Retirement: We unpack why automatically moving into lower-risk, middle-of-the-road funds as retirement approaches can actually reduce long-term outcomes, and why volatility isn't necessarily the enemy if you've planned properly.The Importance of Planning Beyond the Investment Product: This is one of those areas where having a real plan matters — we talk about thinking through “what could go wrong,” having other assets to draw on, and avoiding forced decisions at the worst possible time.Advice vs Product Sales: How to Tell the Difference: We explore the key signals that distinguish genuine financial planning from a transactional product sale, including how advisors are paid and why “free” plans are rarely free.Fees, Transparency, and Asking the Right Questions: From hidden charges to headline Annual Management Charges that don't tell the full story, we explain where fees really sit, why expats can get a nasty surprise, and the direct questions you should feel comfortable asking upfront.What Value for Money Actually Looks Like in Financial Advice: We discuss the wide spectrum of service levels in the market, what ongoing advice should include, and why paying more only makes sense if you're genuinely getting engagement, insight, and support in return.Get in touch with Paddy DelaneyWebsite: InformedDecisions.ieLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/paddy-delaney-qfa-rpa-apa-73778969/Podcast:

Quitter son pays pour une nouvelle vie à l'étranger, c'est déjà une grande décision à prendre. Mais devoir partir sans son partenaire, c'est un scénario auquel on préférerait ne pas être confrontée… et qui en pousse certaines à renoncer à une opportunité pourtant rêvée. La distance fait peur : peur de se manquer, de s'éloigner, de se perdre. Et pourtant, certaines décident de sauter le pas. Dans cet épisode, vous écouterez le témoignage de trois femmes qui ont choisi l'expatriation même si leur partenaire ne pouvait pas les accompagner, et comment elles ont décidé de suivre leur envie d'ailleurs… sans renoncer à l'amour.Elles nous racontent ce moment où l'opportunité s'est présentée, la réaction de leur partenaire, comment elles ont réussi à maintenir le lien depuis l'étranger - entre décalage horaire, ajustements, et nouvelles routines - et enfin, ce que cette distance a révélé de leur couple ainsi que la suite de leur histoire à deux.À travers leurs expériences variées et sincères, cet épisode interroge ce que l'expatriation change — parfois renforce, parfois fragilise — dans une relation. Un éclairage précieux pour celles et ceux qui envisagent de partir sans leur partenaire.

#1-  My personal history of being scammed in Latin America (by popular listener demand): Yes, we all get scammed in our lifetimes and have the scars to prove it, some more than others but hopefully we learn. There are bad people out there, though sometimes we're asking for it. We're just stupid , gullible, unlucky or ill-informed and thus become marks. Since no one is 100% immune from scams, before you start crying and whining about your own history of being clipped, you'll want to hear this story…   #2- Beware!!!

Welcome to one hundred sixty eighth episode of #ExpatChat, Why Is the Australian Dollar Climbing? In this episode, Atlas Wealth Group's Managing Directors James Ridley and Brett Evans unpack what's driving the recent strength in the Australian dollar and what it means for Australians living and working overseas. James and Brett break down the key forces behind the Aussie dollar pushing above 70 US cents, including Australia's higher interest rate settings and growing expectations that the RBA may lift rates again to rein in inflation. They explore what a stronger currency means for expats moving money back to Australia, and why strategies like dollar cost averaging can help manage currency risk in uncertain markets. The conversation also dives into listener questions around tax residency, property ownership, and dual citizenship, offering practical, high-level guidance while highlighting when tailored advice really matters.

Send us a text“Wasted Wonderland” serves as the title of a great compilation of songs by Bob Collum. A singer-songwriter and guitarist, Bob grew up in Tulsa, Oklahoma, then spent a couple years in Chicago before making a big change. In 2001, he moved to the UK. Bob's music had already been getting airplay in Europe and not long after moving there, he formed The Welfare Mothers. He also made a lot of friends and connections in England's music community. The list of artists Bob has supported include Dave Alvin,  Ron Sexsmith, The Handsome Family, John Wesley Harding, Robbie Fulks, Marshall Crenshaw, Alejandro Escovedo, Amy Rigby, Robert Earle Keen, and Wilko Johnson. He continues to write, record and perform with his current group, simply referred to as…The Bob Collum Band. His music is great – It's UK Americana, but you can hear slices of Western Swing from his time in Tulsa and hours spent at Cain's Ballroom, but also Buddy Holly-esque rockabilly.

Meet Josh,Entrepreneur, community builder, and Dutch expat who turned isolation on the French Riviera into connection, and a thriving international community.Joshua moved to the South of France in 2018 with his wife, chasing a better quality of life, sunshine, and a slower pace. What he didn't expect was how isolating life abroad could feel, even in one of the most beautiful regions in the world.In this episode, we talk about the reality of settling into the French Riviera: navigating language barriers, adapting to a slower (very slow) pace of life, and the challenges of building genuine friendships in a place shaped by tourism and transient expat populations. how that experience led him to create Next Locals, a community-first platform born from simple meetups over drinks, consistency, and the desire to bring like-minded people together offlineFrench culture, the importance of making an effort with the language, the differences between Paris and the South, and how creating a “tribe” is what truly makes a place feel like home.

Expat Chat Episode 167 – How Does the Coalition Detonation Affect Expats Welcome to the one hundred sixty seventh episode of the #ExpatChat podcast, How Does the Coalition Detonation Affect Expats. Atlas Wealth Group Managing Directors Brett Evans and James Ridley unpack some of the biggest political and tax talking points facing Australian expats right now, with a sharp focus on what they could mean long term. In this episode, Brett and James break down the recent shake-up in Australian politics, including the collapse of the Liberal–National coalition and what it could signal for future elections and policy direction. They explore the potential implications for tax reform, touching on superannuation, franking credits, negative gearing, and the growing discussion around changes to Australia's tax residency rules—issues that matter deeply to Australians living overseas. The conversation then shifts to practical expat tax strategies, as Brett and James answer listener questions on topics such as whether FIFO work can coexist with expat tax status, and how US-based Australians can optimise super contributions without creating unwanted US tax consequences. Packed with timely insights and real-world guidance, this episode helps Australian expats stay informed, proactive, and prepared for what may lie ahead.

Bu bölümün konuğu benim. Ev sahibi ise İstanbul Aydın Üniversitesi (İAÜ) Reklamcılık Bölümü Başkanı Doç. Dr. Gonca Yıldırım Öge. Ben aslında Marka Konseyi ile birlikte düzenledikleri YouTuba'da yayınlanan Marka Pusulası serisinin dokuzuncu bölümüne konuk olmuştum. Bu günlerde bu söyleşi video olarak da Reklamcılık Bölümü'nün resmi kanalında yayınlanacak.Gonca Hoca, yurt dışında marka yönetmek üstüne bir söyleşi gerçekleştirelim deyince pek fazla paylaşım yapmadığım bir konu olduğu için de memnuniyetle kabul ettim. Yine bu nedenle kendi podcastimde yer vermek istedim.Bu bölümde neler mi konuştuk? Birkaç örnek verebilirim."Marka" ve pazarlama kavramlarına yönelik yerel ve benim tecrübe ettiğim 5 ülkedeki bakış açısı farkları.Bir expat olarak yabancı uluslardan ekiplerle birlikte, ülkelerin sosyo-kültürel, ekonomik ve siyasi dinamiklerini yönetmenin zorlukları ve bu süreçteki dengeler.Uluslararası pazarda yer almak için gereken içsel hazırlıklar, değer önerisinin farklı pazarlarda yeniden konumlandırılması.Yurt dışına açılırken kültürel kimliği vurgulama veya global duruş benimseme arasındaki seçim.Türk markalarının başarısı önündeki engeller, küreselleşme yolunda zorluk yaşayan markalardan çıkarılacak dersler ve global başarı potansiyeli yüksek sektörler.Daha bir çok konuda naçizane görüşlerimi paylaştım, Gonca Hoca'nın değerli sorularını yanıtlamaya gayret ettim. Umarım sadece marka yöneticileri için değil, dünyaya açılma hayali kuran her girişimci için faydalanacağınız bir söyleşi olmuştur.Support the show

Watching Danish movies and TV shows is a great way to survive the long Danish winter—and if you're learning Danish or trying to understand Danish culture, it's even better. Many films are available online for free.   Whatever your taste, there are Danish films for it: Danish film noir from the 1940s if you like crime dramas, the classic Olsen Gang comedies if you prefer something lighter, and Danish children's shows that are actually great for adults learning Danish because the language is so simple. Denmark has been making movies since 1897, and Nordisk Film, founded in 1906, is still the world's oldest continuously operating film studio. You've probably seen their logo if you've been to the cinema in Denmark. In this episode, I'll tell you about Danish cinema classics you should know about, from Mads Mikkelsen movies like Another Round (which won an Oscar) to vintage Danish TV series like Matador that every Dane has seen. Want to know where to actually watch Danish movies online? I'll tell you about Filmstriben (free with your CPR number), DR.DK with its treasure trove of classic Danish television, and how Netflix has even started making new Danish-language TV series. Plus, I'll explain how all this Danish movie production is funded by our giant Danish taxes—and why the government makes Netflix contribute too. It's all part of keeping Danish film and TV alive in an increasingly English-speaking world. Perfect for: Expats in Denmark, anyone learning Danish, fans of Scandinavian films and Nordic cinema

Investing in Ireland has always been tricky, particularly for anyone who recently relocated here, and with so many options out there it's hard to realise the benefits of your savings beyond your pension without sound advice.In this episode of Taxbytes for Expats, I'm joined by Paddy Delaney, founder of Informed Decisions, for the first part of a really practical conversation about financial advice in Ireland. Paddy has spent over 20 years in the financial services world, and he brings a refreshingly honest perspective on how advice is given, where incentives can sit, and why it's so important to understand who you're dealing with before you take any financial recommendations on board.We step through the often-confusing differences between financial advisors, brokers, and financial planners, including how banks fit into the picture and what “independent” advice actually means in practice. This is one of those areas where people assume all advice is the same — and it really isn't.Paddy shares real-world examples of why intent, structure, and remuneration matter, and how those factors can directly impact your long-term financial outcomes. We also talk about when you do need financial advice, and when you really don't. Paddy is an expert on helping you make transparent and informed financial decisions.Main Topics Discussed in this Episode:Understanding the Different Types of Financial Advice: We break down the often-confusing distinctions between financial advisors, brokers, planners, and independent firms, and why knowing the difference really matters before taking advice.How Incentives and Commissions Can Shape Advice: Paddy shares real-world insight into how remuneration structures can influence recommendations, highlighting why transparency and client-first intent are so important.Banks as a Source of Financial Advice: We discuss why banks are still a common and accessible starting point for advice in Ireland, along with the limitations that come from being tied to a single provider.When You Actually Need a Financial Planner: This is one of those areas where assumptions creep in, so we talk honestly about who benefits most from paid financial planning and when simple saving habits may be enough.Why Pensions Are the Obvious Starting Point in Ireland: We explore pensions as a tax-efficient investment tool, common issues with underperformance, and why understanding what your pension is doing over the long term is just as important as contributing to it.Get in touch with Paddy DelaneyWebsite: InformedDecisions.ieLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/paddy-delaney-qfa-rpa-apa-73778969/Podcast: https://www.informeddecisions.ie/podcasts*****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
