The Dark Side of Being an (OLDER) Expat: What They Don't Tell You...What No One Talks About

Choosing to retire abroad is an exhilarating and positive experience...right...well, it can be.

There's a side to the process of retiring abroad that no one talks about, especially as it relates to the older expat. While the idea of living abroad sounds exotic and exciting, challenges like being misunderstood, and judged, feelings of loneliness, preparation overload, looming cultural adjustments, and unexpected hurdles can cast a shadow on the dream. In this video, I’m opening up about the realities I’ve faced as an older retiree who has chosen to move abroad, the challenges and unexpected lessons I’ve learned along the way.

Let’s have an honest conversation about what it really means to leave everything behind and start fresh in a new country. Whether you're considering becoming an expat or you're already retired abroad, this video is for you.

Let me know your thoughts in the comments—what was it like for you? Let’s share and learn together.💬
