Considerations For Moving Abroad w/ Queen D Michele

Extra Pack of Peanuts Podcast Considerations For Moving Abroad w/ Queen D Michele

I am so excited to talk with my guest, Queen Michele, on today’s episode because she is all about getting others to move abroad just like she did. Queen retired at the age of 52 and moved to Mexico as a single, middle-aged retiree, and began her journey of self-discovery with no end in sight. She now wakes up with a smile on her face and joy in her heart every single day!

The Real Truth About Living in Africa

Ep-154v2

Today I interview my younger brother, who has done something that I would probably never do.

Live in Africa.

A mission trip to Jamacia broke the fear of traveling for Cody when he was younger, and now he’s traveled around the world, visiting our sister in Spain, and our topic today, studying abroad in Uganda.

He’ll share with what life is REALLY like living in Africa and also recount a hilarious travel mishap that includes tap dancing shoes, a trip to Turkey, and lots of sobbing.

Also, please don’t forget to vote for us on the Lights, Camera, Switzerland site! If we win we’ll be hosting the pilot episode of a brand new travel show and we’ll also be doing some extra special for our listeners, but we have to win for you to find out what it is!!
