Almost Local: Living Abroad Stories

Almost Local is a podcast about the honest, human side of building a life somewhere new. Hosted by Marc Alcobé, the show goes beyond visas, moving checklists, and picture-perfect foreigner stories to explore what it really means to live abroad. Through thoughtful conversations with people around the world, Almost Local looks at belonging, identity, culture shock, loneliness, community, and the slow process of turning an unfamiliar place into something that feels like home. These are stories of living between cultures, redefining where you’re from, and discovering who you become when life takes you elsewhere. Whether you’re already living abroad, planning a move, or simply curious about life in another country, Almost Local is a space for reflection, connection, and real experiences beyond borders. New episodes every two weeks on Mondays, featuring personal stories from around the world, shared with honesty, depth, and nuance.
