The Bittersweet Life

Every so often, just when you find yourself alone and vulnerable in a foreign place and in desperate need of help, an angel comes into your life...a very special kind of angel. A travel angel. This episode is dedicated to those rare and wonderful strangers who come into our lives just when we need them most. Because of their selfless and often unasked for help, disaster is averted, our vacation is saved, and often our lives are enriched in the process. -------------------------------------------- SPONSOR THE SHOW: Reach expats, future expats, and travelers all over the world.

What happens when you dig out the resolutions you made at the beginning of the year just as you are about to make some new ones for the year to come? Tiffany and Katy find out the hard way. Plus, in honor of Tiffany, Katy takes on a few extra resolutions, and Tiffany takes a page out of Katy's book by resolving to do something that can be accomplished in a single day. And they both try not to cringe at last year's often-over-ambitious resolutions. What will you resolve to do in the year ahead? ------------------------------------------------------------------- SPONSOR THE SHOW: Reach expats, future expats, and travelers all over the world.

Merry Christmas from your friends at The Bittersweet Life! This Christmas, we're gifting you with a sweet, sentimental, and surprising piece of radio created by your host, Katy Sewall the Christmas she spent in Rome, way back in 2013. If you love the song White Christmas and have always wondered about its origins (or maybe you've never wondered, but now we've piqued your interest), listen to this show. So grab a comfy seat (ideally in front of a roaring fire with snow falling right outside), cuddle up to your favorite person and/or your favorite hot beverage, and reminisce with us about a Christmas long past. ------------------------------------------------------------------- SPONSOR THE SHOW: Reach expats, future expats, and travelers all over the world.

When you move abroad to be with a significant other—not because it was your own dream—what do you do when you don't find expat life satisfying? Whether it's because you struggle to learn the language, feel isolated, don't really love the place where you live, or—god forbid—are not sure your partner is the right person for you, not every expat experience is right for every person. Sometimes you just have to cut your losses and go home. On this week's episode, we respond to a listener questions that asks: when is it time to give up the expat life? ------------------------------------------------------------------- SPONSOR THE SHOW: Reach expats, future expats, and travelers all over the world.
