International Living: Embracing Cultural Differences and Finding Your Place With Doreen - Ep. 107

Welcome to episode 107 of The American Dream in the Eyes of Immigrants Podcast. I am your host, Heidy De La Cruz, and I am on a mission to change the narrative of immigration one immigrant story at a time!

Doreen Cumberford shares her incredible journey of someone who has lived in eight countries—including Scotland, the United States, Japan, and Saudi Arabia—and is now enjoying life in San Miguel de Allende, Mexico.

Doreen reflects on her family background and her many moves across the globe. She opens up about the cultural adaptations she’s made, the language skills she’s developed, and the challenges of returning “home” after years of living abroad. These experiences shaped her resilience and her ability to embrace change while staying true to who she is.

Doreen takes us through her journey of becoming a podcaster and author. She shares about her podcast, Nomadic Diaries, her book, Life in the Camel Lane, and her current project, Unsettled, which explores the emotional complexities of repatriation. Through her work, Doreen encourages others to stand out, embrace their uniqueness, and find strength in their immigrant and expatriate experiences.

With Love, Heidy
