Hello and welcome to another episode of Two Fat Expats where we believe you should live a fat expat life, live it to the max and make the most out of every moment.
This week we’re talking to two amazing expats who are doing extraordinary things in their expat life. Dr Erik left his medical practice in Beverly Hills working with famous actors and actresses to start a new life overseas. Firstly with Doctors without Borders and then with The Clinton Foundation. Dr Erik now lives in Thailand working for a medical clinic. He has done it all and seen it all and you’ll love his interview.
A big thank you to the lovely Jane, an Australian expat living in Hong Kong. With three young children at home, Jane still found time to dedicate to a group of refugee women and teaches them how to sew.

Hi ladies know that this is rather an old podcast but I have been listening through ur podcasts right from the beginning. Loved this podcast as I’m currently living in Mumbai, India and there is just so much need here. My quilting group is currently working with Days for girls https://www.daysforgirls.org/ which you could spread the word about as it’s such a basic essential of so many women’s lives which is not the caste for all. I have also done a small amount of work with FMCH http://www.fmch-india.org/ which was started by an expat friend Rosie which is touching hundreds of thousands of lives here & in Indonesia. If u run another podcast on this topic might be nice fto include?
