| Video Discription | We tried taking the expat route in 2021 during the pandemic. Our first attempt didn't really work for us. This video describes some of the issues that impacted our decisions at that time. Taking the expat route is a major life change, with a wide range of impacts - financial, lifestyle and personal. It may work great for you, or you may have some reactions similar to ours. Each person will have their own specific circumstances that will impact the suitability of an expat move to their life. We did a scouting trip to see if it felt right. We had seen lots of people reporting positive experiences as expats, and were at a point in our lives where we no longer needed to live in our previous location, and had minimal responsibilities tying us to our home country. It was an amazing adventure, but in the end, the overall balance of pros and cons tilted to not making a full move. The key to evaluating the suitability of an expat move is to obtain as much information and possible, on all sides of the issues, to determine the full range of issues you will confront, and assess the impact of these issues based on your specific circumstances and needs, to see if the expat route is right for you. Hopefully this video can contribute to a small part of that information, and can be useful in helping others considering this type of move.

But it didn't really work out for a number of reasons. But we are really happy with the alternative - being slow travelers and part-time expats! We have a small home in the USA that is our home base, and spend 1-3 months at a time in one place overseas, several times a year. We stay long enough to really learn about a place's people and the history, and experience living in the culture. And in case you were wondering: Our channel title "89 Days Away" refers to the EU Schengen limit of letting visitors stay 3 months (in the Schengen zone) during a visit—living away for 89 days before having to go home. If you want to stay away for longer, some other countries let you stay for 6 months, so you can put together an agenda that allows you to stay overseas as long as you need to get what you are looking for. 00:00 Introduction 01:11 Housing 02:30 Systems are not transparent 03:34 Taxes and Immigration 05:43 Assimilation 06:49 It can be lonely 07:32 We came back home to reassess |
