Almost Local: Living Abroad Stories

Almost Local: Living Abroad Stories is a podcast about people building lives and finding home abroad. Formerly Expat Experts and hosted by Marc Alcobé, the show features thoughtful, long-form conversations with people living abroad around the world. Each episode explores what it really means to start over somewhere new — from culture shock and identity shifts to belonging, community, and the slow process of becoming almost local . Rather than checklists or relocation advice, Almost Local focuses on the human side of life abroad: the emotional transitions, the in-between moments, and the personal stories behind international moves. Whether you’re already living abroad, considering a move, or simply curious about life elsewhere, this podcast offers honest stories and nuanced perspectives on making a home far from where you started.
