Kirsty Rice and Nikki Moffitt believe that life should be lived large. Make the most of it, fill it up with as much as you can, and if you’re an expat – enjoy rather than endure. We know that it can be really tough being away from family, friends, and familiarity – which is why we’re hoping Two Fat Expats will provide ideas and inspiration to make your expat life fatter.
When we’re not giggling on iTunes Kirsty is back at University in a race to graduate before her children, with a focus on Digital Media. Kirsty also blogs at the award winning 4 kids, 20 suitcases and a beagle. Nikki is a seasoned expat, perhaps even a serial one, currently searching for a soft landing in Hamburg Germany, her fifth continent in fourteen years.
We’d love to hear from you. Leave a comment here, or a review on iTunes. Thanks for popping by.

Hi! Someone in my Facebook group shared this website with us so I came to take a look.
I’m definitely enjoying the information. I’m bookmarking and will be tweeting this to my followers!
Wonderful blog and superb style and design.

I have had these two ladies on my iPod for a while but the opening song made me think it was going to be just another amateur podcast. How wrong was I?? This is one of the best podcasts I have listened to in a very long time. They are fun, informative, professional and you kind of feel like you are there with them. Awesome ladies, I love it!!!

Love love love this! I’ve been following/dreaming on and off for years. We are hoping to hear about a possible opportunity in China in the next week or ship. Needless to say I’ve listened NON-STOP to Two Fat Expats for the last three days – I’m so psyched at the possibilities! Thank you all for sharing the gift of your experiences!

Happy to help out. Good luck with the opportunity in China. Hope it all goes well. Nikki x

Wow! I wish I had found these blogs earlier. We are finishing up our Saudi Arabia stay in a few months and moving back to the states. What an amazing life!

Stay along for the ride. Good luck with your repatriation, it can be a tough move. Lots of tips in our Season 3 episode 14 – The Happy Repat. Nikki x

Hi, I love your blog and am thinking how useful it could be in other languages. I know that lots of expats are multilingual but I know lots who aren’t or who can manage in English when they have to but would never do an internet search in English. Have you thought about translating it? Or even just some of the most useful parts of it?

There are so many different types of expats – the career expats, the “moved for love” expats, the expats who can speak the language and don’t know any other immigrants (because let’s face it, expats = immigrants with white privilege, right?), the expats who can’t speak the language and live in expat bubbles which come with their own unique style of rotating door / social fatigue (it’s hard to invest in friendships when you both know it’s only for a few months). I’m more of a lone expat in the Austrian alps, having moved for love. 10 years, 3 kids and countless language courses later, I now work as a doctor in a regional hospital near Innsbruck. My German is now at a level where I’ve lost my fear of using a telephone, and my patients often ask if my (horrible) accent is from Scandinavia rather than England or the US. But OMG Nikki I HEAR YOU regarding the masks!!! As if it wasn’t already hard enough ringing up a consultant at 3am at the back end of a hospital night shift and have him rapidly garble drugs and dosages down the line to me…now every patient, nurse, family member and fellow colleague is behind a mask! I think they all assume I’m fluent and they don’t need to slow down / speak clearly…when actually, I do need it. Very stressful! Keep up the great work ladies xxxx
