The Not Your Average Globetrotter project is an expat podcast for people who want to become an expat or are already expats who are interested in living abroad, moving abroad, “expat life”, and especially for those interested in living in Italy. Because moving abroad (including moving to Italy & moving to Portugal) can be quite the undertaking, ‘NYAG’ was created to share information and experiences in hopes of helping people to avoid a potentially difficult transition into life abroad as an expatriate regardless of where they move.
