KEY TAKEAWAYS

• If you want to rent long-term in a tourist destination you need to get in before properties start to be booked for the year by vacationers.
• Mental and physical health are best addressed together. One feeds the other. Jenny shares several examples of this during the podcast.
• When you move country, you may struggle to maintain some of your healthy habits.
• If you can´t take care of yourself the same way when you move, look at it as an opportunity to craft something even better e.g. try new fitness activities.
• Be realistic, moving will impact your mental, emotional, and physical health.
• Give yourself time to pause, think, reframe, and get things in perspective.

BEST MOMENTS

‘it took a little while to get out of that mind space, that I am not on vacation.’

‘Your new habit can be letting those good habits go.’

‘Stress is basically resistance, it´s wanting something to be different than it is.’

Podcast Description

When you move for a new job, to live with someone after a long-distance relationship or to explore the benefits of a new lifestyle, moving countries occurs as an opportunity, but it still might be a bumpy ride. Moving Countries 101 presents a paradox of moving to a new destination, but it being all about the journey: the ongoing experience of having moved countries. 

Clare and her guests share the human stories of an ancient undertaking in modern times. Moving countries prompts change, and change provokes being unsettled emotionally, physically, mentally, and spiritually. On all these fronts, moving countries promotes observation, opportunity, and discovery.
