In this episode of Almost Local, I sit down with James Hammond (host of the Winginit Travel Podcast) to talk about his 10-year journey of long term travel, surviving on working holiday visas, and the unfiltered reality of expat life.

From running out of money and finding work via payphones before smartphones existed, to getting "stuck" in Canada during COVID and navigating Vancouver's insane cost of living, James shares the highs and lows of living abroad. We dive deep into Canadian bureaucracy, what it's really like to work 9-to-5 abroad, and why, even after getting his Canadian citizenship, he's planning to move back to the UK. If you are considering moving abroad or just love raw, honest digital nomad podcasts, this episode is for you!

We break down the core challenges and invaluable insights of living unconventional:

  • How to navigate the complexities of visas, bureaucracy, and cost of living in countries like Canada, Australia, and the UK
  • Why sometimes winging it can lead to the best opportunities, and when to build for stability
  • Practical advice for anyone dreaming of long-term travel, global work, or relocating without a fixed plan


🎙️ Guest: James Hammond
James Hammond is a globally-minded travel podcaster, content creator, and entrepreneur. His work focuses on living authentically abroad while monetizing the journey—a real-world blueprint for turning wanderlust into a thriving lifestyle.

In this episode of Almost Local, Tina Coleman shares how living abroad reshaped her identity, courage, and view of time. 

Living abroad isn’t just about changing countries — sometimes, it’s about changing your relationship with yourself. In this episode of Almost Local, we dive into the powerful story of Tina Coleman — coach, author, and solo traveler — who chose reinvention, courage, and intentional living by starting over abroad at midlife.

We talk honestly about what it means to take risks, pivot when life doesn’t go as planned, and let go of rigid expectations — especially when moving abroad later in life. Tina shares her experience living in Mexico, adapting to a different sense of time, navigating cultural differences, and redefining what freedom really looks like.

In this episode of the Expat Experts Podcast, I sit down with Jordi Llonch Esteve, a former airline pilot turned global digital nomad and tech founder. Jordi traded cockpits for co-working spaces, and since then, he’s lived in over 50 cities, from Chiang Mai to Tarifa and Uvita to Lisbon.</p><p>This video dives into the guest's unique approach to traveling, emphasising how they now seek out  like minded people during their journeys. They highlight the contrast between being a tourist and someone with a commercial pilot license pursuing entrepreneurship. See how their experiences shape their view of the world.</p><p><b>📲 Follow Satlantis on:<br /></b><a href="https://l.mailtrack.com/l/2fdfc1f205bd8cc886cd63bce7228d97b6b4d0e7?u=11673148" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">https://www.satlantis.io/</a><br /><a href="https://l.mailtrack.com/l/a6f1b399ac24234e1ceb8ff3d978fe788e70cf0d?u=11673148" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">https://instagram.com/joinSatlantis</a><br /><a href="https://x.com/joinsatlantis" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">https://x.com/joinsatlantis</a><br /><a href="https://l.mailtrack.com/l/b0d2d3ca60e6a1439a5ac49cd28a7a7224175145?u=11673148" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">https://www.linkedin.com/company/satlantis.io/</a></p><p><b>📲 Follow Jordi on:</b><br /><a href="https://l.mailtrack.com/l/27d573a0eba9b743f66f89b02482f1e46ce54fda?u=11673148" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">https://satlantis.io/jordi</a><br /><a href="https://x.com/jordi_llonch" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">https://x.com/jordi_llonch</a><br /><a href="https://l.mailtrack.com/l/7c468c951a3e4320b2db2124173ac1a0b90d56e8?u=11673148" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">https://www.linkedin.com/in/jordillonchesteve/</a></p><p><a href="https://www.buzzsprout.com/2389917/fan_mail/new" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" target="_blank">Send us a message!</a></p><p><a href="https://www.dpbolvw.net/click-101461819-15212831?url=https%3A%2F%2Feu.level8cases.com%2F%3Fshpxid%3D1e7c598d-c21e-4ca6-9601-52cb5f08ea85" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Level8</a>: Upgrade your travel experience with luggage designed for people constantly on the move.

In this episode of Expat Experts, we go deep into what expats get wrong about learning a language, expat confidence, and actually feeling at home in a new country.

We talk about why obsessing over “perfect grammar” can backfire, the hidden mindset mistakes that keep expats stuck on the sidelines, and what you should focus on instead if you want real connection, friends, and a life that feels normal again overseas.

You’ll learn:

  • Why language is only one part of confidence abroad
  • The most common expat mistakes around speaking with locals
  • How to build confidence even when your language level is “bad”
  • Practical ways to practice, meet people, and stop feeling like an outsider

If you’re planning to move abroad soon, already living overseas, or stuck in the “I understand, but I’m scared to speak” phase, this conversation will help you shift your approach and finally feel more confident in your new life.

🎙️ Guest: Megan
Megan Nicholls is a British language coach and expat who helps professionals and expats build confidence in English and communicate clearly in international environments. Drawing from her own experience living abroad, she focuses on real communication, mindset, and confidence rather than perfection.

It’s not just baguettes, beaches, and sunshine. In this episode of Almost Local, we dive into the real, unfiltered truth about expat life in France.

Josh Kennedy, a Dutch forigneir who has lived on the French Riviera for 8 years, sits down to share his incredible journey. We cover everything from the brutal "vicious circle" of French bureaucracy and housing (and how tools like Garant.me can save you), to the absolute excellence of the French healthcare system when starting a family.

But most importantly, Josh opens up about the isolation and loneliness that often hits after the "honeymoon phase" of moving abroad fades. Discover how he overcame loneliness by founding "Next Locals," a thriving community designed to help foreigners integrate and build genuine social connections.

If you are researching the cost of living in France, wondering how to make friends abroad, or just dreaming of life in Nice or Vence, this episode is packed with essential advice.

It’s not just beaches and sloths. In this episode of Almost Local, Zach Gerth from Start Abroad breaks down the honest reality of relocating to Central America.

From his time in the Peace Corps to building a life in Kenya and now Costa Rica, Zach shares the "Expat Curve" that everyone goes through—from the honeymoon phase to the "what have I done" panic. We discuss the real cost of living (it's not as cheap as you think!), the frustrations of bureaucracy, and the specific residency hacks—including how having a child in Costa Rica can fast-track your citizenship.

If you are considering moving to Costa Rica, Panama, or Portugal, this conversation is your reality check on what it really takes to build a home abroad.

🎙️ Guest: Zach Gerth
Co-founder of Start Abroad, an international relocation service that helps individuals and families navigate the complexities of moving to Costa Rica, Panama, and Portugal. Drawing from his own experiences living in the Dominican Republic, Kenya, and now Costa Rica, he specializes in guiding expats through the emotional and logistical realities of building a new life overseas.

Meet Rosamaria Mancini—introvert, perfectionist, hypochondriac, and now author of the witty new memoir “SOS Podcasts.” In this raw, funny, and deeply relatable expat story, she shares how life at the Vatican, German culture shocks, and motherhood abroad pushed her to the edge—and how podcasts became her lifeline in a disconnected world.

💥 In this episode of Expat Experts, you’ll discover: ✔️ How she transitioned from journalism in NYC to life inside the Vatican walls ✔️ Why German and Italian culture clashes drove her (lovingly) crazy ✔️ The real struggle of being a new mom while adapting to a foreign culture ✔️ How over-parenting, perfectionism, and podcasting all collide in her story ✔️ Her #1 life-saving tip for expats (especially moms!)

In this episode of Almost Local, Peter shares:

  • Growing up in a 14x14 room with a shared public restroom in Poland
  • Why he tried to erase his Polish accent, and how he turned it into his superpower
  • The "optimistic depression" that transformed his entire career
  • 5 limiting beliefs every immigrant needs to break
  • How to use the "outsider advantage" to build the life you actually want

🎙️ Guest: Peter Kolat
Peter is a Transformational Culture Coach, author of "Authentic Self-Rebirth," and a speaker who helps immigrants and entrepreneurs rebuild from the inside out.

In this episode of Expat Experts, clinical psychologist Dr. Elefant-Yanni reveals the hidden emotional cost of living abroad, identity shifts, and the pressure expat couples face.

Living abroad can be exciting — but it can also be emotionally exhausting. In this episode of Expat Experts, I sit down with Dr. Veronique Elefant-Yanni, a Clinical Psychologist (PhD) who works with expatriates, international couples, and globally mobile families, to explore the less visible emotional realities of expat life.

Together, we talk about:
✔️ The hidden emotional and psychological cost of living abroad
✔️ Why expats often experience identity loss and emotional disorientation
✔️ The extra pressure expat life puts on couples and relationships
✔️ Why “starting over” can be mentally draining
✔️ How to build emotional safety while living far from home
✔️ The biggest myths about expat mental health
✔️ How 3D Human Therapy® helps expats reconnect with clarity and self-trust

🎙️ Guest: Dr. Elefant-Yanni
Dr. Elefant-Yanni is the founder of Psychology Experts, an international online therapy practice supporting expats across Europe and Asia. She is also the creator of 3D Human Therapy®, a holistic framework that helps people understand their internal functioning through tension, activation, and emotional states — without labels.

In this episode of Expat Experts, Caline Malek shares her journey from high-pressure journalism to aligned living in Portugal — and how Human Design can help expats avoid burnout and find clarity.

Moving abroad isn’t just about visas, housing, or cost of living — it’s also an internal journey. In this episode of the Expat Experts Podcast, I’m joined by Caline Malek — former nuclear-energy journalist turned Human Design reader and energy practitioner — currently living in Portugal.

Caline shares her powerful expat journey across Monaco, Dubai, and Portugal, and how relocation triggered deep questions around identity, burnout, alignment, and belonging.

Together, we explore:
• What expat burnout really looks like (and why it’s so common)
• How moving abroad can activate identity shifts
• The emotional and energetic challenges of starting over
• What Human Design is — and how it helps expats make better decisions
• Why some countries feel aligned and others draining
• How to thrive abroad instead of just surviving

🎧 Listen if you want a deeper, more honest conversation about expat life beyond logistics.

🎙️ Guest: Caline
Based between Lisbon and Dubai, she has spent over 15 years in journalism, highlighting regional issues and advocating for positive change. Transformative work with an energy healer led her on a decade-long spiritual journey, exploring meditation, yoga, energy healing, hypnosis, and crystal healing.
