Listen in when I talk about the very best thing I have ever done in my life, what that is and how you can be a part of it. I talk with Chase Warrington about how I started travelling over 20 years ago and why it became part of my life, the reasons why I can do what I do in this crazy world. The most important lessons I learned from spending time in a government-run school and what made me so passionate about starting my own international school based on totally different concepts and ideas.

171: Layover Secrets – How To Get The Most Out Of Every Minute You’ve Got – Michael Wedaa

Michael Wedaa has travelled to more than 100 countries on six continents. His love of travel started in his youth when he visited many of the great national parks in the U.S. He then took his first major international trips to Europe, South America, and Asia in 2011. From there, he caught the travel bug and began taking four international trips per year. In 2020, he became the host of a travel TV show called The Layover Experience.   &nbsp; HERE IS A SNEAK PEEK OF WHAT WE DISCUSSED IN THIS EPISODE
 Imagine visiting 100 countries! What does that take to accomplish? Michael shares with us what he’s done in his life over the last 10 years to make this happen in his life
and how you can too! What does it take for the love of travel to rule your life! I chat with Michael about how travel changed my life and the important lessons I’ve learned from the people I’ve met along the way. I bet you’re thinking
it’s so easy to go to London, Paris and Rome
but what about Iran, Egypt or Tanzania? Listen to how Michael visited those countries and his wild experiences. Michael and I share some great stories about the countries we’ve visited that people have been really afraid to travel to.  Have you imagined yourself as a writer? You’ve got some amazing plans and yet don’t know what the next steps are. Here Michael tells us how he started and finished writing his first book and I think you’ll really like this if you’re a budding author. I loved chatting with Michael about countries we still don’t know how to spell, or even pronounce, yet can’t wait to visit. Places most people are too scared to go to. Here are some really awesome tips! Michael shares some hilarious stories of his travels and the trouble you can get into when things happen that are out of your control.  Michaels YouTube Show is called ‘Layover Guru’. In today's episode, Michael and I talk about how you can utilize your time on a layover of let’s say 6 - 24 hours. Are you like most people and just sit in the airport? Ya, I get that. But listen to this
Michael uses that time to see a new city or a new country that he may never get a chance to visit again. He shares his tips and tricks for everyone to enjoy. Is Covid still scaring you? Are you waiting for things to go back to normal? Michael talks about all of the travelling he’s done in the past 2 years and how you can make it a reality. &nbsp; PODCAST EPISODES YOU WILL ENJOY 165: Digital Nomad Life In The Middle East, Balkans, and the Caucasus During The Pandemic – Alex Bales 133: How to Find Cheap Flights To See The World On A Budget – Jen Ruiz 128: Travelling To Every Country In The World – Salvatore Lavallo &nbsp; HOW TO REACH  <a...

170: Investing in Liberty: Marc Clair’s Exploration of Mexican Opportunities

Today’s guest is my very good friend Marc Clair, the co-founder, host and producer of the ‘Lions of Liberty’ podcast. Over the last eight years, Lions of Liberty has become a leading platform for libertarian voices in the alternative media.  I have had the pleasure of joining him on his podcast multiple times and have even been able to assist him in his own expat journey overseas. On today's podcast, Marc and I discuss his expat journey leaving Los Angeles where he had lived for more than a decade to now living in Mexico City. We discuss the struggles and craziness of dealing with the Mexican government to get residency and in the USA to get a green card for his wife and stepson. &nbsp; Here's What We Discussed: First off, what is a libertarian? What does it mean to be a libertarian? Do we all think the same, do we have the same ideas
do we wave around a libertarian flag? How neither Marc nor I became overnight libertarians. It became our ideals, our way of life and what brought us to this point in our lives. I think you will love this conversation. Expat living is a vehicle towards freedom and liberty. Are you leaning towards leaving your home country? Wondering what all the hype is about. Marc and I discuss the real struggles of leaving your home and all the things you take for granted.  We talk about the little things that drive us crazy about living in Panama and Mexico and the old adage of 'mañana'. If you’re American or Canadian, you’ll feel our pain.  Marc talks about the nightmare of dealing with immigration in the USA and the time it has taken to complete the paperwork. And in the end, has it been worth it? All these extra steps, and time spent
has it been worth it? Being an expat, leaving your family behind? Going for a green card? Immigration? I talk a lot about being a libertarian and a lot of my guests are libertarians. If you are interested in the philosophy and really resonate with what we talk about, then this episode will speak to you. &nbsp; PODCAST EPISODES YOU WILL ENJOY 165: Digital Nomad Life In The Middle East, Balkans, and the Caucasus During The Pandemic – Alex Bales  157: Working Remote From Spain - Chase Warrington  151: Helping Spouses Cope With Expat Life – Linda Mueller &nbsp; BEST WAY TO REACH MARC CLAIR What a giant Marc has been in the liberty podcasting world.

165: Digital Nomad Life In The Middle East, Balkans, and the Caucasus During The Pandemic – Alex Bales

Today’s guest on the Expat Money Show is Alex Bales, a freelance digital marketer who made the transition to digital nomad life on January 1, 2020. Well, we all know what happened next. Despite the COVID pandemic and resulting lockdowns, he has lived the greater part of two years out of a suitcase, off the beaten path and traversing the Middle East, Balkans, and the Caucasus, visiting 80+ cities and 16 countries (17 if you count the unrecognized breakaway state of Transnistria). &nbsp; Here is a sneak peek of what we discussed... Do you find yourself disillusioned with your home country? Maybe the USA or Canada? Alex talks about his stay in Iran and the eye-opening experience he had there. Do you think you know and understand the world from your geography and history classes in high school? Ya, me too...except what we were taught way back then is not reality as Mikkel and Alex tell us. Maybe you haven’t been able to travel as of yet, after Covid hit the world, everyone just stopped vacationing. Alex didn’t! Listen in as he talks as a new traveller, having little to no experience and where he went and what he saw...you will be amazed! Imagine as a young adult, going to your family and telling them you’re going to Iran on vacation...can you imagine what your parents are going to say! Listen in to some words of advice! Mikkel and Alex talk about the forbidden land of Saudi Arabia. What it’s like? Why would you want to go there?, what all the fascination about the country is...and why it is #1 on Mikkel’s bucket list! Listen in to hear Mikkel talk about which countries are on the top of his bucket list, other than Saudi Arabia. Maybe one of them is on your list too! Imagine yourself, arriving in Tbilisi, Georgia...just as the pandemic was starting in March 2020. What was life like arriving in a foreign country, where you don’t speak the language, with English not widely spoken, jumping into uncertain waters, and the fear of Covid being almost unspeakable!  Have you ever wondered how safe using a mask being outside is, or inside for that matter? Alex has this horrible accident that he tells us about, not speaking the language and having to rely on Google translate...one more reason to dislike the use of masks! If you’ve wondered what country had the most locked-down mandates in The Balkans and what countries were the freest, you’ll really enjoy this episode. &nbsp; PODCAST EPISODES YOU WILL ENJOY 160: Mikkel Thorup - Expat Life Secrets Across The Globe 132: The Future Of Remote Work And Digital Nomadism – Kari DePhillips 131: Travelling To Brazil During The Pandemic – Mikkel Thorup &nbsp; HOW TO REACH ALEX BALES EmpowerUMarketing &nbsp; CONCLUSION: I’m so happy to hear about Alex and his travels over the past 2 years.

164: Medical Tourism in Colombia

Today on the Expat Money Show we’re going to do something a little different. Recently I had the pleasure of travelling to Medellin, Colombia with my family and we met up with my friend Jason and his wife Sophie and recorded a YouTube video about medical tourism, specifically medical tourism in Medellin. Jason's company is awesome. They really do a fantastic job of helping Americans and Canadians, but also Europeans and really, people from anywhere in the world who come to Colombia to get medical tourism done. I loved the video so much that I thought we would turn it into a podcast episode because there is just so much information to be heard. &nbsp; Here is a sneak peek of what we discussed... Are you wondering what medical tourism is? What does it entail? Sounds interesting but what’s in it for me? Jason shares with us the most important issues of not staying in North America and waiting for an important procedure to happen, or not happen! But Jason, what about the medical facilities? The Doctors? Are they trained properly and are they as trustworthy as the Doctors we have in Canada or the States? You may be wondering about the cost, don’t I have to be rich and famous to have medical procedures done while on vacation? Don’t be caught waiting and waiting for a procedure in Canada when you can hop on a direct flight to Colombia. You will be surprised at how quickly it can be done! Mikkel and Jason discuss the numerous procedures that are done in Medellin and the response time of the surgeons. It will blow your mind! Have you heard a lot of people talking about Stem cells? What is this and if I came to Colombia can you do this type of procedure? Okay, but I don’t speak Spanish and Colombia is a Spanish-speaking country...what do I do? If you are in need of a medical procedure, whether it’s for your health or to fix something you’re not happy with, listen to this episode. You will be amazed and thrilled! &nbsp; https://youtu.be/pG09sdarMpg &nbsp; PODCAST EPISODES YOU WILL ENJOY 146: Biohacking Immune Support For Busy Travellers – Siim Land 137: Blockchain And The Future Of The Internet – Marco Wutzer 135: Living A Perpetual Traveller Lifestyle – Sergio Von Facchin &nbsp; HOW TO REACH  [email protected] &nbsp; CONCLUSION: What a beautiful country Colombia is, especially Medellin.
