Over This is Going Somewhere with Emily and Alex

We are Emily (she/her) and Alex (he/his), married American expats living abroad. One day we realized we didn’t crave the same things in life that everyone around us seemed to want. We were unhappy trudging toward some perceived security and decided to do something to change it. So, in 2021, we sold our house, cars, and almost everything we owned and became location independent. We are now full-time international slow travelers negotiating how to live the dream and a regular life at the same time. We explore the ins and outs of our nomadic lifestyle at the intersection of thoughtful discussion and absurd humor.  Get bonus content on Patreon Hosted on Acast.

This is going to Andalusia, Spain

In this episode we talk about our favorite destination so far - Torremolinos-Málaga, Spain in Adalucía. How much did we like it? Enough to start considering moving there! While recording from one of our least favorite destinations so far in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, we cover how we have begun to feel about "biding our time" and "pussyfooting around" while we wait out our visa time away from the Schengen zone (most of Europe). We've noticed a pattern of making mistakes and feeling confused when we try to find places to fill the time. Ultimately this is a waste of our gifts and resources. So, we have decided to go back to the US and start the application process for a long-term stay visa in Spain.

This is Going Viral on Social Media

In this episode we talk about what happens when you have 100 followers on TikTok and your video ends up with 1.5 million views. We know most people's goal on social media is to go viral. It was for us! But we didn't realize just what we would have to deal with going forward. What do you do in a world where you're only as good as your last video? Most people would say try to replicate that success, but what if you don't want to? Or what if it would change your niche entirely? For us, it honestly made us question how much we really enjoyed the way we were using social media. And with the views come the mean people and idiots which can be hard to deal with for anyone. It is safe to say we went through a range of emotions and it kind of ended up not changing much!

This is staying connected... or not

In this episode we answer another audience question about how we stay in touch with loved ones back home. Admittedly, we could always do better. This way of life is packed full of distractions that make the time seem to fly. Do we ever feel disconnected from what is going on with our friends and family back in the U.S. Sometimes. But what we have really noticed is that feeling connected means a lot more than just talking frequently. We all have to also feel understood in order to maintain relationships. We open up about each losing a big friendship in our lives over the last year. And it didn't have as much to do with being physically removed. It had more to do more with some people not understanding our new mindsets when it came to deciding to knowingly take a huge risk that we knew would make us happier.
