Customer Reviews
Love it!
Just found this podcast and I am starting at the beginning. I don’t normally listen to podcasts tbh but I love this one! It is so easy to listen to. It’s very interesting and I actually love how Christine let’s people talk and just come in to give context. It’s unique! And her voice is soothing. I’m learning so much in preparation for my future move abroad. But I did want to ask if Christine ever tells her story?? I’m starting from beginning but it doesn’t start with Christine’s story. If you see this Christine, I would love to know more about you- from a listener’s perspective!
Great show!
3 episodes in and this is really good and affirming to plans I’ve set for myself in life. Thanks for creating this from a black man.
My favorite podcast
I truly enjoy this podcast and recommend it to everyone I meet that listens to podcasts. I grew up in Asia and worked in the Middle East and South Korea. I appreciate the experiences of the guests on this show. Lol. I wish there was a podcast of the lives black women experience when I was living abroad at the time. As I prepare for my next move, I truly love this podcasts’ content especially how it doesn’t romanticize the abroad experience but offers a dose of realism and adventure. I highly recommend this podcast.
