Expat Immigrant

In celebration of National Siblings Day we have decided to record a special episode where we attempt to answer some questions about each other!  This one was super fun as it got us thinking about long forgotten tales and experiences. Our most embarrassing memory for example…!! Arrgh the cringe!! We also cast our minds back to what we wanted to be as children as well as more recent assertions such as our favourite ice cream flavour.  How well do you think we know each other?  You’ll have to listen to find out!

Don’t forget you can write...

Hi everyone! This week we are once again diving into dilemmas and requests for advice from our Francophone cousins! We answer the question of how to overcome loneliness – a common experience that also effects many Expat Immigrants!  We give our aunty advice to a teenager who thinks that they are missing out on life because of always being on their phone.  And lastly we help a confused lover girl who found a saucy picture on her boyfriend’s phone that was never sent to her!!  What would you do?!

As always, feel free to use this episode as an o...

Hi everyone! We’re back this week, discussing some ideas on how to work abroad. It feels like this topic has been coming up a lot in the public domain recently, where many people are entertaining the idea of possibly moving abroad for various reasons. Usually the first thing that comes up in this conversation is, ‘What will I do for work?’ or even ‘How can I find work?’. So we’ve come up with some practical things you can think about before taking your first steps to living and working abroad!

Don’t forget that this should not be...

Hi everyone! Here’s another Valentines Special from us and this time we have set our heart shaped eyes on the popular genre of Teen Romance Movies! We recently watched the Netflix movie, ‘He’s All That’, an updated gender swapped version of the popular teen film, ‘She’s All That’ and it got us thinking.  Firstly we discussed our gripes with the often seen trope where a protagonist removes their glasses and suddenly becomes beautiful – in the case of ‘He’s All That’ he removes his hat et voila! A handsome man!  Then we got to thinking about what actually goes into...

Coucou les amies! Today we are answering French Dilemmas! “Suis-Je Le Trou De Balle” or STB for short is basically the French version of AITA! We’ve been answering AITA posts since the beginning of this podcast so it only feels right that we turn our gaze to our Francophone friends to help them out with their troubles. It’s also a great way for us as Expat Immigrants to practice the French language in terms of reading, comprehension and of course speaking! So as always, get ready to brush off your GCSE / A Level French and join us as we ta...

Happy New Year everyone!

We are back again with another New Year, New Moi episode and this time we are setting our intentions for the year 2024! Kat guides us through a selection of categories to help us think about what we want for ourselves in this new year.  Starting with our highlights of 2023, we explore the following:  Word for 2024, Song/Theme Song for 2024, Quote/Mantra, Theme for our life, Hobbies, Self-Care, Rest and Relaxation and Holiday Destinations.  It’s a good little exercise to get you set up for an amazing year so feel free to join us by...

We all know the 12 Days of Christmas song. Some of us even know the Destiny’s Child version off by heart! But what if the “true love” referred to in the song was France? What gifts would we receive then?  Well, Kat and I have had a think about some of the things we’ve received from France including elite holiday destinations, patisserie and apero! There’s so many more that didn’t make the list so maybe we’ll have to do a part deux but until then, enjoy our take on this festive song!

Let us know what gi...

In this episode we got to thinking about some of the things we miss from the UK. As Expat Immigrants it’s often we look at our home country and reminisce about the things we can’t quite get in France. Whether it’s a sausage roll, a cosy pub, or even meeting random girls in the toilets on a night out, there are some quintessentially British things that haven’t made it across the channel.  Have a listen to our list and let us know what you think! Also tell us about some of the things that you miss from...

Hey everyone! In this episode we are testing our knowledge on random French subjects in a game we like to call, “No Concentration”.  This is a game we grew up with as kids (ehem, before the internet), and recently we thought, why not create a French version?! It’s all a bit of fun and you can play along with us, shout your answers (we won’t be able to hear you) and get involved!  How well do you know random French subjects, from cars to historical figures, famous French people to names of French cheese? Could you do better tha...

So what would you do if your Maid of Honour stole from your fiancé? Would you forgive her and let her participate in your wedding like nothing happened? Or would you kick her out?  This is another one of our dilemma episodes, formerly referred to as, ‘Solving the Internet’s Problems’, and we tackle this AITA question along with some others with a view to helping our anonymous fellow humans in their relationships! Let us know what you would do!!! Use the hashtag #expatimmigrant

We also chat about being shortlisted for an International Women’s Podcast Award 2023 and Nat’s...
