  • Great Idea, looking forward to seeing it develop

    Wonderful intention in this podcast, as it’s still early on, you’ll have to excuse some audio and recording issues, but nothing most podcasts haven’t faced.

    I’m hoping this is super successful as it’s a great resource for people to understand the opportunities that exist to live and work abroad!

    Keep up the good work.
