Expats, Geopats, etc : after the move abroad

Join me, Stephanie Fuccio, someone who has lived abroad for 20+ years, to explore nuances of expats, internationals, geopats and others who are a few steps after starting off abroad around the world. Through candid identity abroad conversations with fellow internationals sometimes well into their overseas life and sometimes even knee deep in reverse culture shock back home, we explore what keeps us grounded once we've got one foot here and there culturally. Beyond culture shock, we look at the books, online communities, language moments and more that help us feel good even on wonky days.
