In this episode, Clare is joined by Charme to discuss being settled when you move countries or move to a different region in your new home. Charme has recently moved from Brussels to Bruges, she explains why that meant she needed to learn a 3rd language and learn about a new culture.

Charme likes to throw herself into new situations and has travelled to 60 countries. She explains what not being afraid to try something new has taught her and the skills she has developed as a result of this approach.

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.
