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.

Ever sit back and wonder when the best time to travel is in your respective country? Do you find yourself traveling every year during the same times to similar or the same places? There may be a reason for that. Good or bad we are creatures of habit and agents of our environment. That doesn't mean, when the opportunity presents itself, that we aren't adaptable and can't seize the moment. This podcast examines the benefits of traveling during peak and off peak travel seasons, what you gain, and what you miss out on. Listen in and stay ahead of the curve.

Relationships are tough. Add a little distance to them, they become even tougher. Put half a world between two love birds and the chances of the relationship lasting seems next to impossible. This podcast covers an Expats perspective on long distance relationships. Believe it or not, they work out more times than not. A little effort, sacrifice, and lots of FaceTime goes a long way. Maybe absence truly does make the heart grow fonder.

Years ago one scary movie came out about a group of teenager's terrible experience in a hostel and now some travelers avoid hostels like the plague. I admit, the first time I was told I would be staying in a hostel I wasn't all that thrilled either. Honestly, I had no reason to feel that way because I had NEVER stayed in one or heard much about hostels to even form a fair opinion. Don't be like me, be better. Stay in a hostel.

Undergrad was one of the most memorable experiences of my life. The day of graduation was bittersweet. I survived and thrived through college, but I was terrified at what lay ahead.
