Society & Culture:Places & Travel
10 years ago, Michelle Alexander left the U.S. and landed in Brisbane, Australia. She’s since built a life and community, but it wasn’t always easy. In this episode, we talk about how Michelle planted new roots halfway across the world, the perspective that helped her embrace her new life, what she learned about herself from living in a different culture/country, and how living abroad has redefined her idea of home. We also talk about:
-
Some of the best things about being an expat.
-
How to build community and successfully make the transition.
-
How to overcome cultural differences and language barriers.
-
Why having a good immigration/migration agent is key.
-
What it’s like having Christmas in the middle of summer.
-
How Australia’s “mateship” approach to COVID kept life mostly normal in Brisbane.
-
What Michelle considers one of the most stunning places in Australia.
