  • FINALE

    FINALE
    Oct 27 2023
    The first season of the Expat Dispatch Podcast has come to an end. In half a year we recorded 15 episodes, 13 of which were with fascinating guests from all over the world: 11 countries and 5 continents. A map of listeners is even more mindblowing: countless countries from all inhabitable continents. In the FINALE Tina, Sergei, and Dmitry share their personal and professional journeys throughout this season, together with their observations and conclusions. It was such a valuable experience to be able to dive into the unique life stories of each guest and to see their path to and in the Netherlands, all their struggles and joys. This was not about success stories (as we considered doing in the beginning) but about people. We wanted to create a sense of community and in that, we believe, succeded. We didn’t follow the prepared questions and structure, improvising and trying to catch what our guests wanted to share. That’s why we haven’t just focused on the Netherlands but also spent a decent amount of time comparing it to the guest’s places of origin and the places they lived in before. Not all interviewees are staying in this country anymore, but for us, it was important to pick up and document their voyages at particular moments in time. We tried to catch as many perspectives as possible, and it didn’t matter if they came here to work or to study, to have some fun or to settle down. Will there be a continuation? We don’t know yet. After all, in that half a year we’ve found new jobs and changed places. Most of our guests were a friend of ours (and sorry for those with whom we didn’t have time to record an episode). If we will continue we also need to see the demand that you want this. That’s why we are asking you to leave us reviews and rankings on the platforms that you use, or even directly reach out to us. Share what you’ve enjoyed the most and the least. And finally, if you value what we’ve been doing, consider becoming a member on Patreon. Just by paying 4$ per/month (and cancel anytime) you’ll help us to understand if can continue because each month of editing and hosting the podcast costs at least 60$. Find the link in the bio or type in: patreon.com/ExpatDispatch. We express our deep gratitude to all the guests and listeners. Stay tuned (hopefully) and listen to the bunch of cool stuff that’s already out there.

    Adriana
    Oct 19 2023

    In our 14th and final guest episode of the season, hosts Sergei and Dimitry talk to Adriana. Being born and raised in the US, she has a multicultural background with a Colombian father and an American mother. We explore her choice of the Netherlands over Italy and other Nordic European countries, emphasizing a preference for a more relaxed lifestyle and better opportunities. There is a decent amount of comparison between the differences in the US and the Netherlands in this episode. The episode also discusses graduate studies and the challenges faced by international students. Adriana shares her ongoing struggles and journey in searching for a job and PhD positions in the Netherlands since her dream is to become a good teacher. This episode includes a fascinating dialogue about the great multiculturalism of our master’s program and Adriana's travels, such as an adventure in Pakistan and an exploration of traditional weddings with hundreds of guests. Don't miss out as we offer insights into Adriana's life that transcends borders, seeks security, and celebrates diversity.
