À seulement 27 ans, Elsa a fait de la mer sa maison. De l'Alsace aux expéditions polaires, elle nous raconte comment le hasard l'a menée à devenir naturaliste, et pourquoi elle choisit chaque jour l'aventure.Née dans des circonstances improbables, Elsa se décrit comme un « enfant paix ». Originaire d'Alsace, c'est presque par hasard qu'elle découvre la géologie à l'université, une passion qui va peu à peu la mener aux quatre coins du monde.De Berlin à la Suède (où elle n'a jamais vraiment trouvé sa place), du Danemark au Svalbard, en passant par l'Indonésie, Elsa se laisse guider par les opportunités sans jamais forcer le destin. Et c'est finalement lors d'un voyage entre amies en Turquie qu'une rencontre va changer sa vie et l'amener à embarquer avec Ponant en tant que naturaliste, il y a un an.Aujourd'hui, sa maison, c'est le bateau. Elle nous raconte son quotidien à bord, ses coups de cœur comme ses défis, son rapport à l'instabilité et ce besoin grandissant de fonder une famille, même en pleine mer.Un épisode inspirant sur le lâcher-prise, les hasards de la vie et la beauté d'un métier hors du commun.#ExpatLife #FemmesInspirantes #Aventurière #VieEnMer #PodcastVoyage

Hmm lecker lecker! Manchen ist es einen Hauch zu chlorig im Abhang, doch gemeinhin gilt Leipzigs Leitungswasser als wohlschmeckend. Kalkige Plörre oder Hochgenuss? Und was ist eigentlich genau drin? Wir, Eure Hosts Daniel Heinze und Guido Corleone, reden drüber - in der neuen Folge von HELDENSTADT, dem Leipziger Wohnzimmerpodcast der LVZ. Auch diesmal cruisen wir wieder durch alles, worüber Leipzig gerade spricht. Wir werden immer mehr! Die Einwohnerzahl steigt schneller als erwartet und das hat Konsequenzen für uns alle. Der Stadtrat hat den Weg für ein neues XXL-Wohnquartier am Bayerischen Bahnhof freigemacht - 13 Jahre nach der Beauftragung des Bebauungsplans! Was wird aus der mobilen Grünfläche an der Thomaskirche und wie sinnvoll ist die überhaupt? Daniel ist dem Leipziger "Gemeinwohlparlament" beigetreten und erzählt, worum's da geht. Wir fragen uns (und Euch!), wer den Satz "Take Me To The Hospital" ans Astoria am Hauptbahnhof geschrieben hat und warum. Und wir suchen nach Gründen, warum Deutschland bei Expats aktuell nicht viel beliebter als Nordkorea ist. In den Veranstaltungstipps (Be-Beat And Rhythm!) empfehlen wir Euch die "Fabulous Release Party" der Chemnitzer Indieband Power Plush in Ilses Erika und die Konzerte von Frachild im Noch Besser Leben und des Mirta Junco Trios in Horns Erben. Und wer bis zum Schluss dranbleibt, wird einem fiesen fleischfressenden Wurm belohnt, der sich gerade in Südmexiko und vielleicht ja auch irgendwann in unseren Breitengraden pudelwohl fühlt. Großes Leipzig-Kino zum Hören - viel Spaß mit dem Uferfiltrat unter den Leipzig-Podcasts: „HELDENSTADT. Der LVZ-Podcast aus Leipzig mit Daniel Heinze und Guido Corleone“, Episode vom 8. September 2025. . . . . . . . . . . . . Folgt uns bei Instagram, Mastodon, Threads und Facebook! Wir sind @heldenstadt

Elle a quitté la France, pris un avion, et a débarqué dans un monde complètement différent. Aujourd'hui, elle vit au cœur du désert de Wadi Rum, dans un petit village jordanien, aux côtés d'un bédouin qui est devenu son mari. Chaque jour, elle découvre un rythme de vie dicté par le sable, le soleil et le silence. Elle apprend à naviguer entre traditions, coutumes et un quotidien si loin de ce qu'elle connaissait.Dans cet épisode, on vit une véritable immersion dans la culture bédouine et dans la vie en Jordanie. On explore aussi ce que ça veut dire de se sentir étrangère tout en apprenant à appartenir. On parle de voyage culturel, d'expatriation choisie par amour, de ce que ça représente de tout quitter pour s'expatrier dans un univers où les codes, la langue et le rapport au temps ne sont plus les mêmes. C'est aussi une réflexion sur le fait de se déconstruire pour mieux se reconstruire, et sur les petites choses du quotidien qui finissent par tout changer.On évoque aussi les doutes, les surprises et les anecdotes de voyage qui transforment un simple séjour en parcours de vie. Ce récit est une invitation à croire que dans la vie, tout est possible : que ce soit partir en voyage en solo, tomber amoureuse au bout du monde, ou encore réinventer sa façon de vivre. C'est un beau voyage, pas seulement à travers les paysages du désert jordanien, mais aussi au cœur de l'humain, de la rencontre et de l'adaptation.Prépare-toi à une histoire qui fait réfléchir, sourire, voyager… et qui prouve qu'il n'y a pas de vie “toute tracée”, seulement des chemins à inventer.Bonne écoute !

In this second half of my conversation with Alexander Marino, Director of U.S. Tax Law at Moody's Tax, we get into the nitty-gritty of what it really means to exit the U.S. tax system, whether you're renouncing citizenship or handing back a long-term green card.This is one of those areas where emotion, tax policy, and real-life consequences all collide. Alex explains the U.S. exit tax (and how to avoid it), what being a “covered expatriate” actually means, and why some clients are better off paying millions in exit tax now rather than tens of millions in estate tax later. We also discuss some common myths like assuming a high-tax country means you're covered, or thinking a long-expired green card means you're off the hook.The key thing to note here is: this isn't about being dramatic. For many U.S. expats living in Ireland or abroad, stepping away from the U.S. tax net is a practical financial decision—but it has to be done right. Alex shares how his team helps people navigate this process and why now might be the best window in history for high-net-worth individuals to consider it.If you're feeling stuck or unsure about your U.S. status, don't put it in the “too hard” basket. As always, professional advice is essential but hopefully this episode gives you a strong foundation to start asking the right questions.This is Part 2 of a two-part conversation with Alexander Marino. For Part 1, make sure you subscribed to the podcast.Main Topics discussed in this Episode:Understanding the U.S. Exit Tax: We unpack how the U.S. exit tax works and why avoiding it comes down to good planning, not good luck.Covered Expatriate Rules: Alex explains what makes someone a “covered expatriate” and the costly consequences that can follow.Green Card Holders Are Not Off the Hook: Letting a green card expire doesn't end your U.S. tax obligations—many are surprised to learn they're still on the hook.When Tax Treaties Don't Protect You: Tax treaties help avoid double tax, but they offer no protection when only the U.S. taxes an event.Why Now May Be the Smartest Time to Act: Current exemption levels make this an unusually favourable moment to plan an exit from the U.S. tax system.Get in touch with Alex Marino:Email: amarino@moodystax.comWebsite: https://moodysprivateclient.com/team/marino-alexander/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/alexander-marino-45a76b26/*****If you loved this episode or have a similar story, we'd love to hear from you!

In a follow-up to previous episodes on expat ‘Merit Badges,' Greg and Ed discuss ‘DEmerit Badges,' mistakes that long term expats make that they should NOT make. In other words, if you've lived in Thailand for a while, and you act like a n00b, you deserve a demerit. Greg begins with the classic fashion faux-pas of all foreigners in Thailand for more than a few months: wearing elephant pants. As the official mark of being brand new to Thailand, these flimsy pajama bottoms are verboten for long-timers (and that's still true, notwithstanding their surge in popularity among hi-so Thais). Ed then brings up raising your voice or getting angry in public with a Thai person in their official capacity. Simply put, anger in public gets you nothing in Thai culture, except possibly some disrespect. The guys continue running through several more no-no's for expats and repeat tourists, from forgetting your passport to bum gun blunders. If you don't want to embarrass yourself, listen in for advice on how to look like you belong in Thailand. Don't forget that Patrons get the ad-free version of the show as well as swag and other perks. And we'll keep our Facebook, Twitter, and LINE accounts active so you can send us comments, questions, or whatever you want to share.

They delve into the favorable interest rates for mortgages, explaining the different options available to buyers. Rafael outlines the mortgage process, emphasizing the importance of pre-approval and the necessary documentation.

Finally, they touch on future considerations for property investment in Portugal, especially for those looking to retire or invest from abroad.

Doreen Cumberford welcomes Patrick Kadian - an expat, hypnotherapist, and expert on mental health for global nomads. With over 30 years of expat experience spanning 16 countries, Patrick offers a unique perspective on raising third culture kids (TCKs), navigating transitions, and caring for the mental wellbeing of globally mobile families. The focus is on understanding the TCK experience, the challenges these children face, and practical strategies parents can use to help their kids thrive during international moves.Topics We CoveredDefining Third Culture Kids (TCKs)TCKs are children who spend significant formative years living outside their parents' passport country, existing in a “liminal space” between cultures.Discussion on differences between “traditional” TCKs (longer stays per country) versus highly mobile digital nomad families.Core Challenges for TCKsIssues with identity, rootlessness, and restlessness.Stacked “miniature griefs” from repeated goodbyes and transitions.The importance of parental awareness and intentional support for emotional resilience.Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs)Explanation of ACEs and their long-term health implications.Frequent moves and cultural transitions can increase ACE scores for expat children.Emotional Regulation & ResiliencePractical techniques for both parents and children, drawing from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT).Tools like the “acceptance tool”—learning to sit with uncomfortable feelings and emotions and build psychological flexibility.Emphasis on consistency, presence, and the importance of parents being a “safe home base.”Hypnotherapy & Mindfulness PracticesClarification: Hypnosis is not mind control, but a form of deep relaxation similar to guided meditation.Discussion of how both hypnosis and meditation can calm the nervous system, helping individuals (children and adults) stay within their “window of tolerance” during stressful transitions.Suggested resources, including Patrick's guided exercises and recommended books like Good Inside and The Whole Brain Child.Actionable TakeawaysFor Parents: Start regulation work early—be present, emotionally available, and focus on being a consistent source of safety amid change.For Families on the Move: Acknowledge and talk about grief and loss; use regular mindfulness or meditation practices to build resilience.Understanding When to Seek Help: Trust your instincts if you or your child seems stuck, highly reactive, or overwhelmed, reach out to a professional like Patrick for supportive techniques.Resources & LinksPatrick Kadian's Website: www.theexpathypnotherapist.comListen to guided recordings and practical exercisesBook a free introductory chat or send a message directlyBooks Mentioned:Good Inside by Dr. Becky KennedyThe Whole Brain Child by Dr. Dan SiegelOther Areas to Explore:Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) resourcesTCK Training by Tanya CrossmanFinal ThoughtsThis episode underscores that while global mobility presents unique emotional hurdles, it also cultivates strengths and “superpowers” in kids and families.

In this episode of Gimme Some Truth, hosts Clint Walkner and Syl Michelin take a closer look at the S&P 500 index, separating fact from fiction.

Today we'll be talking about yet another earthquake that rattled parts of Bangkok, a new Tax policy that may impact expats benefits, and a little later a massive planned expansion of Suvarnabhumi Airport aimed at doubling its capacity.

In this insightful episode of Nomadic Diaries, host Doreen Cumberford sits down with Lucyna Bolin, a seasoned expat coach, marathon runner, and mother of two, to discuss the realities behind the polished exterior of expatriate life. Lucy discusses how success abroad doesn't always equal happiness. This is the paradox of the high-achieving expat. Key Topics & Highlights:Lucy's Expat Journey:Lucy recounts how a one-year stay in the US turned into a 20-year global adventure, finally repatriating to Poland with her family. She discusses the challenges and surprises of returning "home".Run for Mental Health:Lucy talks about her upcoming marathon in support of the charity CALM (Campaign Against Living Miserably), underlining the importance of mental health awareness among expats and high-achievers.The Hidden Struggles of Expats:Despite enviable lives showcased on social media, expats often face isolation, difficulty finding genuine connections, struggles with identity, sleep, work-life balance, and unspoken mental health challenges.Expectations and Vulnerability:High-achieving expats may feel pressure to manage everything themselves, leading to a reluctance to seek help and increased disconnection from loved ones both locally and back home.Building Authentic Connections:Lucy offers practical advice for intentionally and strategically building a support network as an expat—whether through hobbies, spontaneous connections, or structured meetups—and shares touching personal anecdotes.Confidence and Adaptation:The expat journey can shake one's confidence as cultural expectations shift. Lucy explains the need to recalibrate self-image and embrace a new way of being confident in unfamiliar settings.Types of Expats & Their Unique Challenges:Lucy identifies four expat archetypes—those preparing to move, first-timers in the honeymoon phase, repeat movers, and long-term nomads or repatriates. She encourages self-compassion and embracing the trade-offs of global living.The Importance of Community:Well-being and thriving abroad hinge on understanding and nurturing the right kind of social connections for individual needs, from deep friendships to activity-specific groups.Holistic Coaching Approach:Lucy describes her coaching framework, utilizing the "Wheel of Life" to address eight interconnected areas: career, family/friends, finances, hobbies/recreation, environment, personal development, health, and significant relationships.Memorable Quotes“Once an expat, always an expat.” - Lucyna Bolin“Living abroad is a trade-off. You will never truly ‘fit in' and that's okay.” –  Lucyna Bolin“Home is a decision; it is not a place.”  Doreen Cumberford“We are holistic—one topic in our life touches all areas.” Doreen CumberfordConnect with Lucyna Bolinhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/lucybolincoaching/ https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCwuTaPuA8fNG2HOpNOKzRPw/videoshttps://www.facebook.com/lucyna.bolinwww.lucynabolin.com https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCwuTaPuA8fNG2HOpNOKzRPw/videos We are a small, independent podcast!
