This Expat Life #50 Finishing 6 months in Rio - will I go back?
Whoa, the past 6 months have flown by and I'm ready to return home after almost half a year in Rio de Janeiro! And, what everyone is asking me... Will I return to the marvelous city?
I recorded an open episode about my time in Rio to answer that question (and more). And when I say open, I do mean that: so you'll hear about what I struggled with, what I loved, my mistakes and lessons learned - I'm not holding back.
I'd love to hear if you recognise any of it either because you lived in Rio or because you've gone through something similar in your expat journey.
And since I'm going back to the Netherlands: in-person sessions in the Hague will now be available again!

AirBnB tour Ipanema, Rio de Janeiro 🇧🇷
zhlédnutí 52Před 9 hodinami
A follower suggested I shot a tour of my AirBnB, so I did! This is the place where I stayed for the last 2.5 months. It was the best out of the 3 AirBnBs I stayed at, but wouldn't give it more than a 7.5/10 simply because it's still so damn noisy. Got a question about digital nomading in Rio? 🇧🇷 Let me know!

SOS for the stuck, overwhelmed or exhausted expat
zhlédnutí 363Před 14 dny
I recently spoke with an expat who was exhausted from her job. She gave it all, every day, and realised this wasn't sustainable & that something needed to change - but she also didn't have the energy to change it. So how do you get out of this loop? I've been in it myself when I lived in London and worked at a company with a toxic culture. In this video I share my advice for the stuck, exhauste...

This Expat Life #46 How I stay grounded while living abroad & single
zhlédnutí 415Před 21 dnem
Living abroad can sometimes be a challenge or just simply super exciting, taking up all your time or headspace. Places to go, a job to excel at, decisions about the future to take, contacts at home to maintain... 🤯 It's easy to be 'on', busy or in your head all the time - the opposite of grounded. And while being grounded in your expat life is already a challenge, I believe it's harder as a sin...

This Expat Life #43 What to do if you can't decide on your next move
zhlédnutí 137Před měsícem
Big life decisions can be difficult for anyone - but I think for expats even more! Think about it: a decision on your career automatically has impact on your location, and thus your social life, proximity to your friends, a relationships, etc etc. No wonder some expats find it hard to make a decision! I very often speak with expats who feel stuck and can't decide on their next move. Their thoug...

#28 What to do when you're having a Not-So-Perfect Christmas 🎄
To be honest, you sound like an incessant complainer. Perhaps you were a general malcontent in the Netherlands too? Whatever the case it seems that you might be malcontent almost anywhere if things like noise and hearing other people live life bother you so much. Don’t be such a snowflake!
Your Video is Nice, But Video has SEO problem
My advice to your "burned friend" is to find a way out because "toxicity" is the norm in most companies and corporations, and it never heals. I plan to resign very soon myself and I know her feeling but sometimes a reboot is a must as long as you can sustain yourself financially. You are right, she needs people who understand her impasse so she can "vent" a bit but these people are very few and generally hard to find. If she wants to reply here I would like to chat since we are both in the same state of mind. Wish you and her the best.
Hi Nick, thank you for your thoughtful reply and I'm sorry to hear that you are in the same situation! Yes, I 100% agree with you that toxicity is often the norm and that a reboot is probably necessary. But I'm a coach, not a mentor, so I help my clients find their own answers and I don't do that by steering them into a certain direction :) The only thing I really thought was what needed right now, as a very first step, was to boost her energy. Once that is better, then there is more space to contemplate next moves. To give you some hope: I was in the exact same situation and found my way out, and now after doing inner work I'll never end up there again. If you want to chat in a free discovery call and hear how my coaching could help you, know that you are always very welcome. You can use the link in my profile. Good luck!
Your podcast is really awesom
What about low achieving expats? 😉
Haha they are welcome here too

I loved this conversation. Betina gave precious tips. What a good surprise to see Betina is Brazilian! 😊 I’ve already shared the video with a friend who is moving to China with her family as expats.
Thank you Giselle! I passed your comment to Betina!
Hi Amanda! I typed “expat” on Spotify while I was doing the dishes today, and I found your podcast. I read the title and found it really interesting you are coming to Rio! How nice! I am from Sao Paulo and I love Rio so much! I am sure you will have a great time there! I also have an expat heart! I lived in India some years ago, which gave me the chance to travel around Asia, and I was also an exchanged student in the USA when I was younger. Now I am a mom, wife and a teacher who just loves to travel. Well good luck here in Brazil! I will keep watching your videos or listening to you podcast to keep in track about your life as a carioca! Good luck! My best wishes to you!
Hi Giselle, ah thank you so much! 💜 I really appreciate your comment! And I'm glad the expat topic resonates with you (you must miss expat life if you typed it into Spotify!). I will surely podcast about my adventures in Rio 😀 Abraço!
What about immigrant life?
What about it? :)
Could you kindly provide me with your email address?
I have listened breathlessly to your Podcast. You are a strong and optimistic person. And you've been through a lot in those three years that you've been back in NL. I don't think I could have handled this like you did. You have touched and inspired me and I have to ask myself about who I am and what I really want in life. Thank you very much for your story and I’ll consider about joining you as a coach because our lives and backgrounds are quite different. For now, you’ll live life after all you've been through, life only smiles at you from now on!
Thank you for your very kind & uplifting words Jeroen! Much appreciated :) Always welcome to book a free discovery call if you want to hear more about my coaching. Have a good day!
I haven't had any fun lately, 😭 so it was fun. You bring me joy!❤🙂I love the kind and generous heartwarming atmosphere that you create, your kind, easygoing, warm vibe. ❤I like the essence how you live on. I need to be true to myself and find a job I am passionate about. I want to find a way to live as who I really am.
Thank you! :) Happy to read this, thank you for your sweet words. I hope you find a job you love. Maybe the other episodes of This Expat Life can help you live a life that's more true to yourself 💜

Love it :) I also feel more stress in my body when I travel. And I need time to decompress ❤
Ah thanks for letting me know! 💜
