Hello and welcome to Building Roots Abroad!

This podcast is all about real people who’ve been brave enough to build careers, friendships, and entire lives far from home.

I’m Giovanna, your host, and a curious podcast lover who is always looking for new stories. This show is just that: a space to hear about how people have made it work in new places.

Each episode is a masterclass in building relationships, careers, and language skills overseas.

And our guests come from everywhere around the world— maybe an Italian chef making a name in Australia, a Vietnamese nurse working in Portugal, or a friend from Peru thriving in finance somewhere totally new.

These guests share the stories you don’t usually hear.

Stories that they might not even mention at a first dinner, but here, they’ll tell it all.

We’ll learn together what is the mindset and skills that we need to start fresh abroad!

You’ll love discovering the different ways people follow their own path and find success abroad.

So, if you have ever dreamed of living in Spain, Japan, or Sweden but you wonder what life is really like for internationals there, this podcast is for you.

We’ll go beyond the surface to hear the real job market and life stories that often people dont share.

How did they make it work? What were the challenges, and what kept them going and achieving what they’ve dreamed?

Building Roots Abroad is all about the joy of following that single thought: “What if I try?”

I’m so excited to start this journey with you, because I’m just like you—curious about what’s out there and the inspiring ways people build their lives far from home.

Don’t forget to subscribe, share, and stay tuned for our next episode, where we’ll start with an amazing guest story!

See you later!
