In this episode host Doreen Cumberford interviews Iliana Genkova, who shares her remarkable journey from Bulgaria to building a life across multiple continents. Starting with just $200 in her pocket, Iliana moved to the United States in 1999, marking the beginning of her global adventures. Her story demonstrates how sometimes the best plans are a mix of preparation and embracing the unknown.After securing U.S. citizenship, Iliana's journey took her to the UK, where she learned valuable lessons about expectations versus reality. Despite having what looked perfect on paper - a prestigious job with diplomatic advantages - she discovered that having a sense of a good cultural fit was equally important. This experience taught her about the complexities of cultural adaptation and led her to the Netherlands, where she found a better personal and professional match, though it too would eventually come to an end due to visa constraints.Through her experiences living in various countries, including Australia, Iliana developed crucial insights about becoming one's own best friend and maintaining authenticity without arrogance. She emphasizes the importance of knowing your "why" when moving to a new place and letting that motivation guide you through both challenges and triumphs. Her journey exemplifies how global living can transform someone into a more patient, accepting, and culturally aware individual.Find Iliana here:http://www.olivemaps.com http://www.iliana.ushttps://www.instagram.com/ilianagenkova/We are a small independent podcast, we respectfully request that you support us if you have gained some information or inspiration from our endeavours.Thanks for lending us your ears!https://www.nomadicdiariespodcast.com/https://www.amazon.com/Life-Camel-Lane-Embrace-Adventure/dp/0578607352 www.doreenmcumberford.comSupport the showHome is Where Your Story Crosses Borders!We aim to inspire expat solutions, by helping you navigate global living with Confidence.
In this episode, I dive into the emotional responses many people feel around U.S. elections and the political climate—and how those emotions can shape your decision to move abroad. It's easy to let fear, anger, and frustration drive the desire to leave, but the truth is, moving abroad is about more than just running away from political chaos. It's about creating a life you truly love. Whether you've wanted to move abroad for years or you're newly motivated after the latest election, we'll explore how to focus on what you're moving toward—not just what you're leaving behind.I also introduce the Move Abroad Bootcamp (starting January 25th) a live, interactive workshop where you will design a personalized, step-by-step plan for your move abroad which will help combat any overwhelm or negativity. The goal is to shift your mindset, stay motivated and build a life that excites you--no matter who is in the White House.What you'll hear in the episode:How the election impacts your decision to move abroad (and why it's not just about politics)Why a mindset shift from fear to empowerment is key to a successful moveThe difference between running away and designing the life you wantWhy focusing on what you want to create (not just escape) will transform your approachDetails on my Move Abroad Bootcamp starting January 25th—your opportunity to build your dream life abroad with clear, actionable stepsJoin me to feel empowered, excited, and ready to make your move abroad a reality!Join the Next Bootcamp!If you loved this episode and want to join the next Move Abroad Escape Plan Bootcamp, registration is open for our next session at the end of January!

You've dreamed of moving to Italy since you were 16 years old, and after years of scheming and planning, you finally made it happen. But... you're not happy. Could it be that you made a mistake in moving abroad? Or maybe you're just not in the right town. Longtime listener Darlene Sullivan joins us this week to talk about what happens when expat reality doesn't quite live up to your dreams—but how that doesn't necessarily mean you've made a mistake. Sometimes you just need to recalibrate and find a living situation that matches your personality. Another important lesson: don't underestimate how trauma might be souring your expat experience. Just because something bad happens in your adopted country, doesn't mean you're not supposed to be there. If you haven't already, go back and listen to our first interview with Darlene, shortly after her move to Bolzano, Italy back in 2020, Episode 435: When Expat Dreams Come True. Darlene is a freelance textile designer. Find her work at her website. Or find her on Instagram here.
