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.

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.

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. See how I find hostels when I travel: bit.ly/2CgOFYr Learn more about the big project here---> https://bit.ly/2ZcPycN Connect with me on Social Media: Instagram: www.instagram.com/theblack_expat/ Facebook: www.facebook.com/cptravels01/ Website: Cptravels.com Become a Patron: https://www.patreon.com/theblackexpat Novel: store.bookbaby.com/book/The-Unexpected-Perspective Twitter: twitter.com/TheBlack_Expat Youtube: www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gaba6OKwGgU
