Moving Countries 101

Whether you’re moving for work, love, or lifestyle, one truth remains: relocating is about more than the destination. Host Clare Kay leads you on a quest to create a life abroad: the paradox of arriving in a new destination, yet discovering the real journey is the ongoing experience of making another country home.


Clare is your essential guide to navigating the complexities of moving countries and realising the benefits of a new lifestyle. Drawing on her extensive international experience, Clare helps you uncover both the dreams and the realities of relocation, from the logistics of settling in to the emotional and cultural shifts that shape daily life.


Through authentic guest stories and Clare’s solo observations, you’ll gain practical guidance and fresh perspectives to prepare you mentally and emotionally for life abroad. You’ll hear from global movers who have relocated for jobs, relationships, family, or lifestyle, and learn how they handled the challenges and opened up to the opportunities.


Their stories illustrate how moving unsettles us emotionally, physically, culturally, and spiritually, but each conversation shows how moving countries provokes growth, awareness, and possibilities.


🎧 Tune in for revealing insights, heartfelt reflections, and uplifting moments that inspire confidence, connection, and clarity as you create a fulfilling life abroad.

How To CONNECT With Your New Country
Moving Countries 101

How To CONNECT With Your New Country

In this episode, Clare talks about the six pillars you need to connect deeply with your new country: food, language, traditions, relationships, history and values. Fortunately, provided you are willing to take the time, you will find connecting using these pillars very enjoyable. Clare shares her approach to learning all about a new country. A simple, yet effective approach that will work for anyone regardless of where they relocate to.


KEY TAKEAWAYS

  • Connect with the heart of your new country – don’t just experience life on the periphery.
  • Food is a gateway to culture. Everyone eats, most people love it, and many are passionate about their nation’s cuisine – so you connect deeply through food.
  • When people invite you to dinner, accept the offer – it’s a great entry point.
  • Eating with local people opens the chance to build multiple pillars at once.
  • Learning even a few words of your new country’s language makes a big difference.
  • Using your new language helps you pick up on cultural differences and nuances.
  • Learning and respecting traditions is important.
  • You can still respect traditions you don’t fully agree with – without undermining your own values and beliefs.
  • Foster relationships.
  • Learning the history and enjoying experiences locals love shows respect – your new friends and neighbours will appreciate it.
  • Understanding the values of your new country is the best way to fit in faster.
  • Be mindful and respectful of others’ values – but don’t lose sight of your own.


BEST MOMENTS

“Food is the gateway to a culture.”

“There are many things that can create interesting and stimulating conversation that start with food.”

“In learning a language, you also end up learning nuances and cultural preferences.”

“There are some wonderful experiences of tradition that can be challenging or engaging. Either way, it's really worth it when we persevere and get to know them.”

“Showing an interest in the history of a place is a great way to get some context for why things are the way they are.”
