Living as an #expat outside of your home culture is the ultimate challenge. In this 2025 year-end special, I’ve distilled the most powerful insights from 41 episodes of The Auto Ethnographer into one essential guide.

Join me as I revisit the most impactful moments from every featured guest this year—professionals who have navigated the complexities of the automotive industry and beyond in foreign lands. Whether you are facing early culture shock , looking to improve your cross cultural management skills, or simply curious about the reality of working abroad, these stories prove that the lessons learned are universally applicable.

From the excitement of the "honeymoon phase" to the hard realities of cultural adaptation, this video compiles the real human stories behind the job titles.

In this video, we cover:

• Real-world advice: Practical tips for surviving the transition to a new country.

• Professional growth: How to handle cross-cultural communication in the workplace.

• The Human Side: Honest reflections from unique guests on what it truly means to live as an expat, work with expats, and to be a global citizen.
