Tania // On How She Is Adapting to the European Lifestyle After Spending Her Early Life in Africa
Show Notes

Going from the developing world to the developed world. The struggles and successes.

On today's show, we had an amazing guest with such an inspiring story. 
Tania was born in Kenya, from an English father and a Malagasy (Madagascar) mother. She moved to several African countries throughout her childhood and teenage years and then moved to Germany 5 years ago together with her life partner. 

Her biggest cultural shock was coming from the fact that the European lifestyle, the one associated with a developed country lifestyle, and the African lifestyle were so different. We discuss in detail those differences on the podcast, so listen in to find out how she managed to adapt. 
Other topics we touched: 

  • Tania's life story
  • her expat life struggles and how she managed to overcome them
  • the differences between European and African mindsets and lifestyle, as well as the people
  • advice for expats moving from a different continent to another
  • Tania's travel business


Happy Life Abroad is a podcast with and about expat stories told by expat spouses. 

The purpose of the show is to shine some light on what it means to be an expat spouse and how to adjust to a new country and their culture, what are the daily struggles in each stage of the moving abroad process, but also to create a community of like-minded expat spouses who inspire each other. 

For all our listeners I am offering a complimentary coaching session and then 30% discount on all my Cross-Cultural Coaching services. If you feel like you are struggling to adapt and adjust to your new expat lifestyle, don't hesitate to contact me.
