Today, I have the great pleasure of talking to Expat Empire founder David McNeill. Originally from the United States, David has lived in Beijing, Tokyo and Berlin, and is currently based in Porto, Portugal.
He started Expat Empire because he has a genuine passion for living abroad, and wants to inspire people to move and show them how to do it. He has produced books, podcasts and blog posts, organizes meetup events and offers personalized consulting services to give everyone the opportunity to achieve their international dreams.
In our chat, we cover a whole range of topics, from the importance of having a dream and the willingness to take risks, to learning patience and trusting (and honing) your intuition in order to move forward.
If you're planning a move abroad, or if you're an expat who feels stuck in your current situation and are looking for change or an improvement of your circumstances, make sure you take a look at David's website, Expat Empire. You can contact him directly by email at david@expatempire.com, and follow him on Instagram.
And if you're thinking of moving to Japan, check out his book "Passport to working in Japan".
