No dishwasher. No clothes dryer. Apparently, I’m suffering.

ICYMI: Panama, Mexico, Thailand: Where expats actually thrive in 2026 #Expats2026 #LivingAbroad

Before Colombia, I associated razor wire and electric fences with prisons and military bases.

Not people’s homes.

Where you live changes what you consider ordinary.

My latest essay: Razor Wire.

What's one thing you believed about moving abroad that turned out to be completely wrong? Share the myth you left behind.

MYTH. Healthcare abroad is inferior and dangerous. swipe for the fact →FACT. The healthcare myth that keeps people home.

"Back in New York, I took full advantage of my status as a native speaker." - David Sedaris in 'Me Talk Pretty One Day'

Truly one of the most satisfying parts of going back home.

You don't become an expat to escape your people. You become one to find new people who feel like home.

ONE-WAY TICKET. Moving abroad teaches you that belonging is built, not inherited, and that matters more than a passport. Agree or fight me 👇

So yesterday I was formally pre-diagnosed with possibly having both PTSD and maybe ADHD. Something I've been suspecting for some time now, and I think it's really going to be changing my perspective on the rest of my life.

You have to learn the language before you move. Full stop. Arriving without it is choosing to be isolated, not adventurous.

ONE-WAY TICKET. Learning the local language before you move abroad is the single most important step you can take. Agree or fight me 👇

Dinner at 9 PM isn't late in Spain, it's normal. Lunch is the main event, eaten at home for hours. If you're hungry at 6 PM, welcome to culture shock. What meal timing surprised you abroad?

#cultureshock #expatlife #movingabroad #livingabroad #expat

CULTURE SHOCK · Meal timing and structure. In Spain and several Latin American countries, the main meal (almuerzo or comida) typically occurs at midday and lasts 1-2 hours, often with a family gathered at home, while dinner is a light meal eaten around 9-10 PM. swipe →This rhythm reflects historical agricultural schedules and strong family-centered culture, but expats accustomed to eating dinner at 6-7 PM often struggle with hunger and social timing. swipe →Restaurants may not even serve dinner until 8 PM or later, making early evening dining frustrating for newcomers. What surprised you abroad? 👇

After nine moves, I learned this: home isn't the place you start from. It's the people who recognize you when you arrive somewhere new.

In Spain, dinner starts late. Sitting down to eat much before 9pm can quietly mark you as a tourist. What's a norm that caught you off guard abroad?

You don't need to speak the language fluently before you move. You need to speak it after you arrive, or you'll never really land.

#expatlife #movingabroad #expat #relocationtips #livingabroad

ONE-WAY TICKET. Learning the language after you move abroad forces you to integrate faster and deeper than any pre-move course ever will. Agree or fight me 👇

You can't learn a language from your couch before you move. You learn it by ordering coffee wrong 47 times and laughing at yourself. Disagree?

#expatlife #movingabroad #cultureshock #livingabroad #expattips

ONE-WAY TICKET. Learning the language after you arrive beats studying it at home because real stakes and embarrassment are better teachers than textbooks. Agree or fight me 👇

What's a myth about moving abroad that you believed before you left? Drop it below, I'm betting half of us thought the same thing.
