What is a good salary in Doha? London? Jakarta? We’ve all seen the questions based on how much money you need to make to survive, today we have a new question. What’s been the biggest cost you didn’t foresee when you moved? What did you forget to factor in?

We also talk about the grieving expat. Going through grief when no-one understands the enormity of your loss. How do we cope with losing expat friends when we’ve moved on to a new location?

Favourite things:

Kirsty:

We talk Robbie Williams, Last Stop Larrimah, and Glen Maxwell’s iconic cricket innings.

Nikki:

Bosch Legacy – Season 2, Hard Fork (podcast), and a little story about lost in translation
