This month's guest is a friend who has called both China and Uzbekistan home. We talk about what it's like to be shaped by two very different places, what surprised him most, his love and appreciation for both cultures, and why, no matter where you go, people turn out to be more alike than you'd expect.

Mongolia is a rural country many people know little about. Join me for a fascinating conversation with my friend, who calls Mongolia home, as she shares her love for its people and culture, common misconceptions, and why Mongolia is a place everyone should experience for themselves.

In this episode, hear from my friend who has years of experience living in and traveling to China. He shares his reflections on raising children overseas, adjusting to a new culture, and how he and his family learned to love and create a home in an unfamiliar place.

Listen in for a story about a young couple who packed up their lives and moved to Thailand — where they discovered that the smallest moments matter most. In this episode, we explore what it means to slow down, show up, and let unlikely friendships find you.

In this episode, my friend shares about nine years of life in Jordan — the country's rich history, its remarkable hospitality, and how living there has reshaped how he thinks about patience and efficiency.

This month, I sat down with friends living in Tunisia, an often overlooked country in North Africa, for a conversation about its beauty, the misconceptions surrounding it, its rich history, and how it has become a place they now call home.

I loved sitting down with my friend, who has lived cross-culturally for nearly 20 years. We dive into life lessons on hospitality, creating belonging, and learning not to take offense in new cultures.

This month, I sat down with a friend living in China to reflect on her experiences navigating friendships, embracing adventure, and discovering rhythms of rest in a new culture.

Welcome to Think Global: Life Overseas! This season, we’re taking a new approach—sharing honest, funny, and meaningful conversations with friends around the world about life, friendship, and everyday experiences of living cross-culturally.

What’s it like to raise a family in a different culture? Tune in for a conversation with a friend who shares the joys, challenges, and unexpected gifts of raising children overseas.

At Think Global, we often say, “The world is our home.” Yet in many ways, we’re all nomads journeying through a world that is ultimately temporary. In this episode, we explore what it means to live well with a nomadic mindset, finding purpose, connection, and joy along the way.

In this episode, we invite you to take a fresh look at how you view and use your free time—whether it’s a weekend, summer break, or even retirement. What if your free time could be more than just a break? What if it could be a way to serve others and invest in something that lasts?

Traveling and living overseas requires a high tolerance for uncertainty. In this episode, we explore how uncertainty is a constant part of life—and how we can learn not just to tolerate ambiguity, but to thrive in the midst of it.

Why is it important to step outside your comfort zone and embrace new cultures? Join us as we explore how meaningful connections and cultural experiences can ruin you for the ordinary—in the best possible way.

Kicking off season five of Think Global, we explore how to overcome language barriers and build connections with people around the world that go beyond words.
