このコンテンツについて

Honest conversations about life after leaving home.

This isn’t a podcast about how to get a visa, file taxes, or open a bank account. It’s about the emotional reality of moving to another country — the culture shocks, language fails, identity wobbles, and unexpected joys that come with building a life somewhere completely new.

Hosts Liam and Tom are two lifelong friends from London who left the UK a decade ago — one to the south of Spain, the other to the French Riviera. With zero planning and even less podcasting experience, they’re figuring it out on the fly — swapping stories, challenging assumptions, and occasionally going off on tangents about motorcycles, Brian Wilson, or pirate radio.

Think of it as an unofficial guide to moving abroad — full of unfiltered stories, deep chats, and zero useful admin tips.

If you've ever dreamed of living somewhere else, already made the leap, or just want to hear two mates talk honestly about change, identity, and starting over — you’re in the right place.

    First up, there are some strange audio issues later in the episode. It sounds like we have a ghost in the room, but I think it was the software trying to reduce the background noise. I'll try a quieter room next time!

    This introductory episode sets the stage for a podcast that explores the emotional, social, and cultural dimensions of leaving one’s home country and starting a new life abroad — beyond the usual logistical topics like visas and taxes. Liam (now living in southern Spain) and Tom (living near Monaco in southern France) reflect on:

    • Their friendship from childhood in West London.

    • Contrasting reasons and methods for leaving the UK – Liam driven by boredom and the desire for change, Tom prompted by his partner’s job opportunity.

    • Emotional and cultural challenges of settling into new countries.

    • Family immigrant backgrounds (Irish for Liam, Italian for Tom).

    • The fantasy vs. reality of moving abroad.

    • How their upbringings, careers, and relationships influenced their choices.

    • Cultural observations and humorous stories about relocation.

    • Tribute to Brian Wilson and the emotional weight of cultural figures passing.

    The episode is informal, reflective, and peppered with tangents that highlight their personalities and conversational chemistry. It's meant to feel like listening in on an honest chat between two old friends who have taken bold steps in life and want to explore what it really feels like to start over.
