Alright, let's dive right into the nitty-gritty of expat life. There's a lot of talk about living abroad, but let's face it, not everything you hear is the gospel truth. So, let's get real for a moment. Before packing those bags, it\u2019s crucial to do some serious research. Know what you\u2019re getting into, because the cost of living isn\u2019t always what it\u2019s cracked up to be. It varies, depending on where you\u2019re headed and how you like to live.... On the topic of languages though, don\u2019t assume you can get by with English alone in non-English speaking countries. It\u2019s essential to learn the local language (and customs) if you want to truly be part of the community. And let\u2019s squash that myth right now \u2013 living abroad is not a never-ending vacation. It\u2019s life, just in a different place. Feeling lonely? That\u2019s part of the package when moving to another country. It\u2019s normal, especially in the beginning. But use that time wisely. And don\u2019t get thrown off by cultural differences. What\u2019s logical in one place might not make sense in another. In this living abroad expat podcast episode of Not Your Average Globetrotter, we'll take a no-nonsense look at expat life.\n\n\nIf you find my videos helpful, entertaining and/or if you feel as if I've helped you save time, headaches or legal fees, please consider making a monthly pledge on Patreon and becoming a monthly patron to help make more videos like this possible:\n\U0001f449\U0001f3fd http://RafaelDiFuria.com/patreon\n\nOr, if you would like to help in a different way and make a one-time donation you can visit:\n\U0001f449\U0001f3fd http://RafaelDiFuria.com/support\n\nIf you would be interested in dedicating a video to a loved one and/or sponsoring a video, feel free to send a message through the following link:\nhttp://www.RafaelDiFuria.com/contact/\n\n\U0001f4ecLet's connect\n\U0001f535Facebook: http://www.RafaelDiFuria.com/facebook\n\U0001f535Instagram: http://www.RafaelDiFuria.com/instagram\n\U0001f535Twitter: http://www.RafaelDiFuria.com/twitter\n\U0001f535Email: http://www.RafaelDiFuria.com/contact/\n\n\U0001f4b8Transfer money around the world with Wise (formerly known as Transferwise) (referral link) :\nhttp://www.rafaeldifuria.com/transferwise\n\n\U0001f4e9 Business Inquiries and Collaborations:\nhttp://www.RafaelDiFuria.com/contact/\n\n\U0001f399Want me to be the voice of your business?\nhttp://www.RafaelDiFuria.com/contact/#expatlife #expat #videopodcast00:00 - Opening Thoughts & Intro\n00:12 - Expat Life is a Lie?\n00:59 - Comment Question of The Week\n01:10 - Research is Essential\n01:46 - The Cost of Living\n05:15 - Language Barrier\n07:32 - Expat Life is NOT a Vacation\n11:47 - Moving Abroad is EASY\n12:33 - Loneliness & Integration
