Description
Sam Beckbessinger has written a book called Moving to the UK. <br />
It's perfect for anyone doing just that, and awesome even if you're moving somewhere other than the UK.<br />
In my interview with Sam, we talk about:<br />
Why and how she wrote "Moving to the UK".<br />
How emigrating messes with your head and makes you feel like a helpless baby. <br />
Hard choices, and how they are an opportunity to define and redefine yourself. <br />
How the British are basically hobbits.<br />
Appreciating your South African-ness and learning how to be a bit more British.<br />
The Newcomers Club, a community platform for expats in the UK. Be SURE to check this out. <br />
Sam's superpower, which is creating meticulous tick-lists and spreadsheets which you can use.<br />
<br />
Anyway, I can't recommend the book enough, and I want to thank Sam for a super-fun interview. <br />
<br />
As per my ads, this show is supported by the family business, Luggage Warehouse. <br />
If you're thinking about emigrating, I've got a discount code for you for three luggage ranges with lots of space: <br />
⁠BG Berlin Cube⁠<br />
⁠BG Berlin Zip2⁠<br />
⁠All Samsonite Ranges⁠, if your budget can handle it. <br />
Use the discount code: EXPATS at checkout and you'll get an extra 10% off your already-discounted purchase.<br />
<br />
These are "Build-a-Set" ranges, which let you build a set of any size and combination, and gives you discounts the more bags you buy.<br />
In Moving to the UK, Sam recommends considering taking extra bags on the plane and paying it, as it turns out to be more cost-effective than many kinds of shipping.
