🌍 *Girl Chat: Living Abroad – The Real Expat Experience!* 🌍 In this episode, I sit down for a candid girl chat with my amazing friends Tasha and Donna, who live in Abu Dhabi while I’m based in the United Kingdom. We discuss the realities of living abroad and how our experiences compare to life in America. We keep it **real and unfiltered**, discussing: ✨ Why we made the decision to move abroad ✈️ ✨ The differences between living in Abu Dhabi & the UK vs. the U.S. 🌍 ✨ The **struggles of expat life** – from culture shock to homesickness 😩 ✨ Stereotypes, racism, and misconceptions we’ve faced abroad ✨ Why we chose to **leave the U.S. instead of moving to another state** 🏡 ✨ What we *actually* miss about America 🇺🇸 ✨ Advice for future ex-pats who are considering making the move This conversation is full of insights, laughs, and real talk about life outside the U.S. If you’ve ever considered moving abroad or are just curious about the expat experience, this is the video for you! 💬 **Drop a comment below** – Have you ever considered moving abroad?
