Stephanie Fuccio has spent more than two decades living as a serial expat, and in Geopats Abroad : Expats, internationals and global souls, she turns that deep, personal experience into a series of revealing conversations. This isn't about travel tips or postcard views; it's about the texture of daily life when you're building a home in a place you weren't born. Each episode features candid talks with fellow internationals, digging into the unspoken rules, cultural nuances, and small surprises that define their adopted countries. You'll hear stories that range from the charmingly mundane to the profoundly disorienting, all in an effort to truly understand a place and the people in it. Stephanie and her guests explore what it means to navigate foreign systems, forge connections across language barriers, and constantly recalibrate your sense of normal. The podcast moves beyond the glossy surface of living abroad to examine the real, ongoing process of adaptation and belonging. For anyone who has ever felt like a global soul, or is simply curious about the world through the eyes of those planting roots far from their origin, these discussions offer genuine insight and relatable companionship. It’s a thoughtful exploration of the expat experience in all its complexity.
