Expat Immigrant

Hi everyone! We’re back this week, discussing some ideas on how to work abroad. It feels like this topic has been coming up a lot in the public domain recently, where many people are entertaining the idea of possibly moving abroad for various reasons. Usually the first thing that comes up in this conversation is, ‘What will I do for work?’ or even ‘How can I find work?&#821...

Hi everyone! Here’s another Valentines Special from us and this time we have set our heart shaped eyes on the popular genre of Teen Romance Movies! We recently watched the Netflix movie, ‘He’s All That’, an updated gender swapped version of the popular teen film, ‘She’s All That’ and it got us thinking.  Firstly we discussed our gripes with the often...

Coucou les amies! Today we are answering French Dilemmas! “Suis-Je Le Trou De Balle” or STB for short is basically the French version of AITA! We’ve been answering AITA posts since the beginning of this podcast so it only feels right that we turn our gaze to our Francophone friends to help them out with their troubles. It’s also a great way for us as Expat Immigrants to pra...

Happy New Year everyone! We are back again with another New Year, New Moi episode and this time we are setting our intentions for the year 2024! Kat guides us through a selection of categories to help us think about what we want for ourselves in this new year.  Starting with our highlights of 2023, we explore the following:  Word for 2024, Song/Theme Song for 2024, Quote/Mantra, Theme for our life...

We all know the 12 Days of Christmas song. Some of us even know the Destiny’s Child version off by heart! But what if the “true love” referred to in the song was France? What gifts would we receive then?  Well, Kat and I have had a think about some of the things we’ve received from France including elite holiday destinations, patisserie and apero! There’s so many more...

In this episode we got to thinking about some of the things we miss from the UK. As Expat Immigrants it’s often we look at our home country and reminisce about the things we can’t quite get in France. Whether it’s a sausage roll, a cosy pub, or even meeting random girls in the toilets on a night out, there are some quintessentially British things that haven’t made it across...

Hey everyone! In this episode we are testing our knowledge on random French subjects in a game we like to call, “No Concentration”.  This is a game we grew up with as kids (ehem, before the internet), and recently we thought, why not create a French version?! It’s all a bit of fun and you can play along with us, shout your answers (we won’t be able to hear you) and get involved!  How well do you k...

So what would you do if your Maid of Honour stole from your fiancé? Would you forgive her and let her participate in your wedding like nothing happened? Or would you kick her out?  This is another one of our dilemma episodes, formerly referred to as, ‘Solving the Internet’s Problems’, and we tackle this AITA question along with some others with a view to helping our anonymous fellow humans in thei...

It seems as though you really want to know what it’s like to live in France, so back by popular demand, here is part deux of our observations on life in France!  As before, we compare aspects of life in France with the UK from our personal experiences as Expat Immigrants, and we let you know what we love and what we’d like to see more of (ehem Cheddar cheese in supermarkets ehem)!  If...

Join us as we take you on a trip to Lyon to discover the city and its famous gastronomy. We jumped in the car with BoyBoy and set off to find a place for lunch – a traditional lyonnaise restaurant in the old town. The last time we did this was when we went to Chamonix !  This time round was such a beautiful day with great food and great conversation as we were joined by our new friend Steicy...
