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.

Rediscovering Taiwan: A Journey from Resident to Curator
Thursday Oct 05, 2023
Thursday Oct 05, 2023
I returned to Taiwan, not as a resident this time, but as a visitor. My journey in Taiwan has evolved from simply living there, to exploring and sharing my travel experiences with others. Now, I've taken on the role of a curator, crafting unique and fulfilling travel experiences for those who venture to the destinations I've explored.
I used to believe - many many years ago - that Taiwan was a great place to live but not necessarily a top travel destination. I couldn't have been more wrong – Taiwan is an incredible place to visit, and it's equally extraordinary to call home. Reconnecting with Taiwan has allowed me to refocus my passion. My aim is to become one of the world's premier travel planners, specializing in the destinations I know best, and to host or produce the most impactful travel podcast globally. Traveling to stunning destinations like Taiwan continues to inspire and transform me. Embracing my past and its role in shaping my journey has been pivotal in becoming the person I aspire to be.
