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.

KEY TAKEAWAYS
BEST MOMENTS
“Check that you have some blank pages in your passport to allow for stamps and visas. .”
“My driving license expired while I was in my first few months in America, and that was really unhelpful.”
“Ideally you don't want to have a single day in your new country without medical cover… have your travel insurance migrate into the local medical insurance.”
“Mishaps, or what ifs can arise and you're going to need money, pretty much always, to get yourself out of a situation.”
