    Have you ever wondered why your immigrant parent(s) didn't prepare you for being a global citizen?

    Chelsea thought this when she was struggling in her first expat place. Over time she began to understand the distinct difference between her mother's immigrant experience and her expat one. In this conversation, we unpack the lasting impression that Chelsea's mom had on her expat life and which influences she kept and discarded.

  • Did growing up with two home cultures prepare Alison Maciejewski expat life? S11E2
    Mar 24 2022

    Send us a text

    How much do our immigrant parents impact our adult expat experiences? This is what we're exploring in this conversation with return guest Alison.

    Alison and I dig into growing up with two unequal cultures in one household, the racial struggles she's seen in many countries during her years living outside of her passport country of the U.S. and her coming to terms with the differences between her mother's immigrant experience and her own expat life.

  • Expats can go home with Georges: S11E1
    Mar 10 2022

    Send us a text

    Have your immigrant parents ever visited you in any of your expat places? Georges' parents have and it shifted how he understood their struggles moving from Greece to Canada. We cover a lot more ground on his parents' immigrant story and how it has both positively and negatively influenced his own expat experience.
