The Black Expat Podcast aims to highlight the ups and downs of the expat experience. It touches on travel, current events, jobs, friendships, family, mental health and the overall expat experience. The goal is not only to provide others with information that I wasn't able to gain before my experiences, but also provide a space for expats worldwide to have their voices, stories, and experiences shared. We as people have far more in common than we think. Through interviews with other expats and people all over the world, I've learned of the many paths that may take when deciding whether or not to become expats. My hope is that The Black Expat Podcast reaches those seeking interesting stories and perspectives, good laughs, and information and knowledge presented in an entertaining way.

The Expat life is full of hurdles. Arguably one of the largest is adjusting to an EXTREMELY foreign working environment and striving to maintain a healthy work-life balance. Small things like figuring out the best route to get to work, to large things such as setting up a bank account can push some over the edge. In this episode, I address some of the surprises of the initial days of teaching abroad and making those adjustments. I also answer questions about failure, dealing with foreign co-workers, how I spent my 20's, and how much I pay for rent on the island of Taiwan.

There are several stages to being an Expat. The first step, and arguably the most difficult, is simply mustering up the courage to leave the country you've called home for most of your life. The second step once you arrive in a new place is centered around figuring how to make this new place home, and all the subtle things you need to know and learn to not only survive, but to thrive. I've coasted past step one, and am diving neck deep into step two. Listen, and be a part of the journey.

In this crossover episode of The Black Expat & Six Packs w/Expats Carl and Patrick discuss southern food, southern comfort, and southern weather after a week long stint in Louisiana. They then provide their initial reactions to visiting The National Memorial for Peace and Justice, also known as the Lynching Memorial in Montgomery Alabama, which pays homage to the more than 4400 African American men, women, and children who were hanged, burned alive, shot, drowned, and bearing to death by white mobs between 1877 - 1950. In addition, they recap their feelings from visiting The Legacy Museum: From Enslavement to MassIncarceration, found just minutes down the road from the memorial. Tune in to the podcast as it takes place just minutes after viewing both.
