Episode 63 - November 18th, 2021
Can we talk about Balance?
Most of us have moved at some point in our lives, to a new city or country,
and had to strike a balance between here and there, then and now.
So in this episode, Nicole of The Expat Cast is here and we are chatting about Balance.
We’re asking ourselves: Who were we, Where are we, & What do we want?
We don’t have the answers but here’s a podcast full of questions to ponder.
Tangents Include:
Who is Nicole?
Breaking out of Philly
Moving domestically and internationally
Moving for love and yourself
Contrasting yet authentic life changes
American work culture
Self-worth from achievements
Expat life is not easy
How to balance old and new me
Solo travel is awesome
In-between happy & grumpy
Is it worth trying to fit in?
Not fitting into one culture anymore
“I like Freiburg, I just don’t know if Freiburg likes me” – Nicole crying on a hillside
Listen to hear how their relationship has grown.
Who is Nicole Palazzo?
Nicole is a US-American living in Freiburg, Germany since 2017. She grew up in a suburb of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, then moved to Charleston, South Carolina followed by Chicago, Illinois. After that, she made the big move across the Atlantic to Freiburg, a city she’d never been to before moving day.
Nicole decided to start The Expat Cast podcast in order to create a community for herself and others feeling similarly stressed but blessed in their life abroad. She’s a librarian by day, podcaster by night. Her favorite activities are asking strangers slightly invasive questions about their personal lives and frolicking about in nature, be that via hiking, running, traveling, or taking a scenic nap.
