Has your inner contrarian been nagging you to explore some offbeat Plan B expat locations? Today’s episode is just for you, as I welcome my good friend Brian Greco to the show.

TODAY’S CONVERSATION WITH BRIAN GRECO
- Learn how Brian first discovered that the expat life opens up countless opportunities - and how helping others on the journey became a personal passion of his.
- Uncover the concept Brian refers to as “medium-term travel” - having multiple bases from which to explore the world, and why this concept is so much more accessible to people than being a pure “digital nomad.”
- Hear Brian and I agree on the value of “slowing down” while travelling and staying in a certain place long enough to start learning the cultural intricacies.
- How long does it take to “get to know” a city? Brian’s expert insights will give you an idea of how long it takes for a city to become familiar.
- Discover the reasons Brian has settled on the Eurasia region—including Eastern Europe, the Middle East, and North Africa—as his primary focus.
- What’s the difference between “hard freedom” and “soft freedom?” Learn how Brian uses these concepts as filters to make judgements about how a particular region might meet one’s particular needs.
- Unlock Brian’s #1 “word to the wise” about how to stay sane and maintain a semblance of personal space while living in a bustling city that never sleeps.
- Learn about my superpower—the one key attribute that sets me apart from others when it comes to travelling and living in new places.
- Hear Brian lay out his view of the BRICS nation as not so much a military alliance or even an economic alliance as a greater move away from American/European hegemony around the world.
- Lastly, you’ll hear Brian break down which countries in Eurasia he plans to explore and which he is the most excited to return to.
