S1/E21: #Happy Expat Life - How to Thrive when Living Abroad with Florence Reisch-Gentinetta

Show notes

“Darling, I have been promoted and they’ve asked us to move abroad!” That might be the beginning of your expat journey as an accompanying partner, and suddenly, you are off to new adventures abroad.

In this episode, Frauke and Marie-Christine explore how to become a happy expat partner living a joyous life abroad. By embracing the challenges and opportunities of expatriate life, the accompanying partner can indeed find fulfillment, personal growth, and happiness. This can involve immersing oneself in the local culture, building new friendships, pursuing personal interests or career opportunities, and above all: maintaining a positive attitude towards the adventure of living in a new country.

Culture Chat Frauke and Marie-Christine welcome Florence Reisch-Gentinetta, a serial expat currently living in Dubai, and author of the book "Expat Wife, Happy Life!: The journey of a serial expat". Originally from Switzerland, Florence has lived around the world for the last 25 years with her Austrian husband and their two Third Culture Kids (TCK). Wherever she lived, Florence always looked for opportunities to reinvent herself. Being creative and flexible, she kept on getting busy, happy and lived a fulfilled exciting life. Her empathy for people and her curiosity about the world led her to a very unique expatriation experience that she wanted to share with us and our listeners.
