Americans abroad get a lot of crap, but do we really deserve it? This week on Packing Up & Peacing Out, Lili and Taylor discuss the realities of being Americans abroad when everyone thinks we are too loud and or too ignorant. This topic can get interesting, especially given the news and realities happening in the US, and Taylor and Lili don’t hold back what they really think about it.

Also, Diane and Kelly pop in for another segment of Call Your Mother!

Whether you're an American considering a move abroad, already living overseas, or just curious about the expat experience, this episode offers honest insights into navigating the world with one of the most recognizable (and sometimes controversial) passports.

Not everyone is cut out for immigrant or expat life, and your personality might be the deciding factor between thriving abroad or… booking the next flight home?

In this episode, Taylor and Lili tackle the question everyone's too afraid to ask: "Is my personality actually suited for living in another country?" Lili confesses to how she used to care WAY too much, while Taylor reveals how a year in Prague transformed her in unexpected ways.

You'll discover:

• Which personality types struggle abroad (and which ones thrive)

• The brutal reality of the "loud American" stereotype

• How celebrating birthdays, job hunting, and making friends tests every aspect of your character

• The personality traits that help for surviving your first year

• Whether introverts or extroverts have an easier time

Before you sell everything and buy that one-way ticket, listen to this episode and ask yourself: "Am I really built for this life, or am I just having a quarter-life crisis?"
