Retirement Gone Wild: How I Accidentally Became That Foreigner

Описание: In this episode of Away With Joe, I break down the ways Westerners make us look bad abroad — and several times I’ve done it myself. From dating a younger local to accidentally becoming the talk of the town, it’s all here: the funny, the awkward, and the lessons learned while trying (and sometimes failing) to blend in during retirement abroad.

Whether you’re planning to retire in Southeast Asia, thinking about moving overseas after 50, or already living your expat retirement dream in Thailand, Vietnam, or the Philippines, this episode will give you a laugh and a few pointers on what not to do.

You’ll hear stories about loud tourists, questionable fashion choices, cultural misunderstandings, and the moments that make locals shake their heads, and you might recognize a few of them from your last vacation.

So if you’ve ever wondered how to retire abroad without becoming “that foreigner”, or you’re just here for the spicy food stories, hit play and enjoy!
