He discusses the serendipitous moments and the challenges he faced during his journey, highlighting the importance of putting yourself out into the world to allow for interesting things to happen.

Tom emphasizes the value of travel in expanding your understanding of the world and yourself, and the need to embrace discomfort and inconvenience for personal growth. He also reflects on the differences in community and public spaces between countries and the isolation that can be felt in Western societies. 

Tom also talks about the challenges and rewards of walking with his dog, Savannah, and the bond they developed. He reflects on the dangers and safety precautions during his walk, as well as the cultural and language barriers he encountered.

“Expats could make up 1-6 million extra voters… These are very significant numbers. Al Gore won the popular vote by only 540,000 more votes and he actually lost the US election, in part, because of the votes of expats.”
— Kristin Wilson

 

Did you know you can vote for abroad, even if you're just traveling or on vacation? Your vote counts, even if you're not physically present during the U.S. elections this year. 

Although U.S. citizens living or slow traveling abroad make up the 10th-11th largest state in the country, only 3-8% of them vote (compared with 66% living at home). Let's change that this year!

Here are resources to help you vote in the U.S. elections:

“There were just no downsides. The more I looked, the more I loved it. It was beautiful, it was affordable, it was on the water, which was another aspect that I really wanted... and it just ticked all the boxes.”
— Karen Espig on her retirement location

 

Are you looking for somewhere you can live a simple, comfortable life on a modest budget? - More than half of retired adults depend on social security for their only source of income. But the current social security check won’t get you very far (especially in the United States).

If you’re planning retire abroad on social security alone, this podcast episode is for you. These are places that you can REALISTICALLY move on $1-2k per month, that have retirement visas, good healthcare, and are generally considered safe.

If you’re dreaming of a better life abroad where your money will go farther, host, Traveling with Kristin is offering practical advice in this podcast so you can make that dream a reality. She's ranking 10 countries by the cost of their retirement visas and average cost of living, with #1 being the cheapest place to retire on this list.

“No matter how far you run from the US, it’s still going to impact you.”
— Nicole Greenfield

 

The number of U.S. expats living abroad is equivalent to being the 11th-largest state in the country. But barely 4% of us turn out to vote! Expats have the lowest voter turnout of any demographic in the United States - lower than high school students - and the same phenomena is probably happening in every country. If you're living outside of your home country right now (or planning to move abroad someday), this episode is a must-listen!

Tune in to hear from Nicole Greenfield, aka The Nomad Activist, a digital nomad and political activist who reached out to Kristin to speak about this topic and how we can change it.

Your vote matters. If every American expat voted, we would easily change the outcomes of current and future elections.

Vote absentee, vote early, and spread the word to your expat friends! Let’s make a change!
