As always, you do a nice job with these programs. You may have missed your calling in telecommunications or radio as they used to say. All IL podcasts I have heard are informative and resulted in either placing the location on my bucket list or dropping it from any future consideration. Keep it up, Jim. Jake

New Name - Still Great

Recently renamed and still excellent. Good for both the touristy types AND those people looking to relocate. Learned about it because I subscribe to International Living magazine. Suggest you give it a try. Update Apr 2023: still good. Fascinating interviews from a wide variety of interesting ex-pats. Each show has useful tips from the wide variety of experiences. Good show!

A great start

I met Jim and Rita in Denver (ok…I drove Jim and Rita crazy in Denver). They are wonderful people. Personally I would like more interviews with expats and less with “digital nomads” (aka young people) but I know Jim tries to make sure there is content for everyone. I find myself waiting for episodes. And Jim, you have a GREAT radio/podcast voice. Thanks for getting practical advice out of the people you interview. 5 stars for you and 10 for your wife!!! 😀

Great on-the-ground insights

A fun window into life abroad. Real-world insights from folks traveling and living in interesting ways. If you’re curious about moving overseas, this is for you.
