🌟 Exciting New Feature: Weekly Discussion Threads! 🌟
Hello, wonderful community of living abroad legends!
I’m thrilled to announce an exciting new feature that’s going to bring our community even closer together: Weekly Discussion Threads! Inspired by the fantastic engagement I’ve seen on other Substacks — Anne Helen Petersen does a super popular one over at Culture Study, I wanted to create a space where we can all share our experiences, insights, and stories about living abroad.
What’s This All About? 📅
Starting next week, every Tuesday we’ll dive into a new topic related to our adventures and challenges of living abroad. These threads will be a place for you to share your thoughts, ask questions, and connect with other readers who are navigating similar journeys. Whether you’re a seasoned expat or just starting out, your voice matters!
Why Should You Join In? 🤝
Share Your Story: This is your chance to tell us about your unique experiences. From the funniest language mix-ups to the most heartwarming cultural exchanges, we want to hear it all!
Get Inspired: Discover new perspectives, learn from others’ experiences, and find inspiration in the shared wisdom of our community.
Build Connections: Connect with fellow expats and travelers. You never know, you might find someone who’s living just around the corner from you or has gone through exactly what you’re experiencing.
Sneak Peek at Upcoming Topics 🔍
Here’s a little teaser of the discussions we have lined up for the next few months:
Housing and Accommodation: What tips do you have for finding housing in a foreign country?
Navigating Healthcare Systems: How have you found the healthcare system in your new country? Share your tips and experiences.
Raising Kids Abroad: For those with families, what are the challenges and joys of raising children in a different country?
Finding Community Abroad: How did you make friends and find your community? Share your advice for newcomers.
How It Works ⚙️
Every Tuesday: I’ll post a new topic for discussion.
Join the Conversation: Jump into the comments and share your stories, tips, and questions.
Stay Respectful: This is a private, subscriber-only space. Let’s keep it positive and supportive, respecting everyone’s experiences and perspectives.
Bonus: I’ll incorporate the best tips into upcoming articles and guides! (With the poster’s permission, that is.)
Who can participate?
I’ll keep threads public for the summer season, until September 22. This means anyone can comment, including free and paid subscribers. From September 22 onwards, however, it will be reserved strictly for paid subscribers.
