Kara decided to take a leap of faith and move with her family of 5 to Guam, an island in the middle of the Pacific Ocean. They traded the typical American midwestern lifestyle from Tennessee with the island life for almost two years now and they cannot be happier for this decision.
She shares with us how hard it was for them to make the decision and what impact it had over their life, what's a typical day on the island, what were and maybe still are the struggles of being an expat in a place so remote from the mainland, but also the amazing benefits and come with living on a tourists island, full of life and local festivities.
Other topics that we discussed:
- the local culture called the Chamorro culture
- the similarities and differences between American midwestern habits and culture and the local culture
- how she overcome the struggles and managed to adapt faster
- her advice for people moving abroad for the first time

#5 Why expat couples face more problems than other couples and how to deal with them
How much impact does moving abroad puts on the relationship for many couples after they move abroad. What changes and why?
In today's episode, I am exploring the ups and downs of moving abroad as a couple how the move impacts the dynamic between the partners.
Many couples that I had the chance to talk to saw the move as stressful and they noticed started more fights and misunderstandings and some of them even decided to move back home in under one year since the moment they arrived. In other cases, the move and its implications was so heavy that some even got a divorce.
When couples move abroad, a great deal of attention is focussed upon the practicalities of moving overseas and settling in.
So what are the extra strains that moving abroad puts on a relationship? Listen to today's episode as I am going through them, one by one.
Hopefully, this will help you overcome them by detailing some practical tools and insights.
