EXPAT CONSULTING PODCAST Jalila Clarke

Want to move all around the world but don’t know if you can handle it?
Most of us go through that phase at least once in our lives where we dream of moving abroad, we just want to pack up our bags and move to another country. In the past, that might’ve been extremely difficult, technology was lacking, and there were far too many barriers that restricted everyone’s movement. Not only that, but a severe lack of information about the world as a whole also made people wish and wish to move but left them in a space where they couldn’t do anything about it.
I had a conversation with Dave Sperling, who spent many years of his life moving from one place to another, and each time, there were things he expected and things that would sneak up on him.We will be taking a closer look at what it’s like to move abroad, all the fun things you should look forward to, and the not so fun ones, along with how you can cope with the curve balls moving abroad might throw your way to make your move, a lot easier!

There are ways that you can travel without even having years of savings in your banks. That’s something I learned from Jenaya. When she said that she was moving to China in 12 days, I asked her , “Why teach English abroad?” She was already qualified teach in America and employed in the teaching profession. She said the only word that I needed to answer my other question, “Is it worth it to teach abroad?” Travel. She was the person that introduced me to the world of “you can pack up your bags and travel, you can figure it out as you go,” which is why this week’s podcast was all about Jenaya and how she did it all!
Throughout the podcast, we went over how she got to China, how she got her footing, and how she went from a fish out of the water to a business owner that’s making some serious moves!
She did it all by teaching and traveling, and in this episode, we’re going to be talking about what all of that entails!
Are you asking yourself, "Should I teach English abroad?" Well to know more insider’s knowledge about what it’s like to teach abroad on your own and build your life as a nomad, but still feel a sense of home wherever you live, tune in to episode 2 of the Are we home yet Podcast with Jenaya!

Beijing might just be that perfect home away from home that you might be looking for! That’s something that I experienced, and the guest on this week’s podcast, Cale, did too!
Throughout the podcast, Cale talked about his experience moving to Beijing, and how he managed to build a life there.
Although the jobs in Beijing pay very well, what really makes a difference is the fact that the cost of living is fairly low. Sure, you might still be paying a chunk of your income for rent, but other things like transportation and food would balance it all out! That way, you can spend on things that really matter to you, whether that’s material things or experiences.
In this week's podcast episode, I’ll be going over all the great things that make Being a top choice for expats, along with the things a lot of us had to learn the hard way so if you’re considering making the move yourself!
To know more insider’s knowledge and lessen your search about living in Beijing, the pros and cons and what it’s like to move to Beijing and make a home there, tune in to episode 3 of the Are we home yet Podcast with Cale!

Most of us grow up with a certain plan in mind. That plan is usually a “we’re going to live here, we’re going to get a particular degree, get a little house, and spend the rest of our lives, just hanging out.”
But what if that didn’t have to be the plan?
That’s exactly what the guest on this week’s podcast on the Are we home yet podcast , Keesha, thought!
Keesha was working as a teacher’s assistant in the UK. She loved working with kids, but it still wasn’t the most satisfying life. She wanted to be able to make the most out of her life and her career, so she started looking.
She wanted to figure out what she could do that would give her job satisfaction but also life satisfaction, and eventually landed on the conclusion that she could teach in China, and well; her findings were very interesting.
While you can hear all about Keesha’s experiences on this week’s podcast, the conversation with her gave me enough insight to put together a little moving abroad guide (link below)!
Here's a cool thing, her teaching in China salary.
Not only is she making a lot more money in China, but since the cost of living is lower , she’s able to have a much higher standard of living while doing the job that she really loves! This makes all aspects of teaching worth it for her.
Keesha’s journey gives a lot of insight into what it’s really like to make the shift from teaching in the UK to teaching in China, and if you want to know more about it, tune in to episode 4 of the Are we home yet Podcast with Keesha!

There's something bittersweet about moving to a new country. On one hand, you open yourself up to a whole new world of possibilities and experiences that you could have in the new land. On the other, you might find yourself struggling to make yourself feel at home, even if you've lived there for years!
This week's podcast was with Ziyo, a 27 year old from Tajikistan that had been moving all around the world since he was 17 years old! He talked about what home really means to him and how he goes about trying to make every new country he lives in as homey as possible.
Even Ziyo agreed that this is probably the hardest part about moving abroad. However, it's not impossible. There are things you can do to make yourself feel at home in a new country, even if things seem super hard at first, and that's exactly what we're going to be discussing in this post, along with the little reasons you might be struggling to call the new place home.
To know more about how Ziyo moved around all over the world and made each place as homey as possible, tune in to episode 5 of the Are we home yet Podcast with Ziyo!Check out the  Are we home yet podcast   to subscribe to the newsletter for updates and early access to information about new episodes and purchase the handy ebook guidebook.

When you actually get to your dream destination, you’ll find that all that glitters isn’t gold. It’s just that, glitter. While there are a lot of great things about moving abroad, not all of the experience is going to be great, especially if you’re moving abroad alone.
That’s something Elif, an Engineer, this week’s podcast guest, dealt with when she first moved to China from Turkey! Elif moved to China in 2021, and even though she had her job and her plan all lined up, things did not end up the way she thought they would. Immediately after she landed, she found herself in her worst nightmare.
In this episode, we're going to be talking about the unexpected great things about moving abroad, the reality of a move abroad alone, and tips for moving abroad alone, and making a home during Covid in another country. Some of the major things that happen and how you can keep them from ruining your move abroad!
To find out more about Elif's move to China and how she copes with the reality of moving abroad, tune in to episode 6 of the Are we home yet Podcast with Elif!
