About The Black Expat Podcast

The Black Expat Podcast aims to highlight the ups and downs of the expat experience. It touches on travel, current events, jobs, friendships, family, mental health and the overall expat experience. The goal is not only to provide others with information that I wasn't able to gain before my experiences, but also provide a space for expats worldwide to have their voices, stories, and experiences shared. We as people have far more in common than we think. Through interviews with other expats and people all over the world, I've learned of the many paths that may take when deciding whether or not to become expats. My hope is that The Black Expat Podcast reaches those seeking interesting stories and perspectives, good laughs, and information and knowledge presented in an entertaining way.

Why I Keep Returning: Deep Dives from Rio to Iguazu

Published 17 Jul 2026 · Transcript excerpt

[…] Brazil beaches are how you see it on TV and how you think it feels. People are running along the beach, not on the beach, they created a trail outside of it so you can run and have the beach to your left and the buildings to your right. I rode a bike from one end all the way down to the other and it was just wonderful. Like the feeling, it felt like Miami, but different. You know, people are, you know, of course, in shape. They're playing volleyball. They're playing football on the beach. People in the water, the water, it's wintertime here in Brazil in July, but the water was warm. They like usually in the summertime, the water is freezing cold, which I guess makes sense because it's hot. […]
