Have you ever thought about living somewhere permanently after a vacation? I’ve been curious about the process, however, the idea of moving permanently to another country has always sounded intimidating to me. In today’s episode, I’m sitting down with my friend, Monique Melton– educator, author, podcast host, and expat currently living in Spain.
Monique is sharing her thoughts on becoming an expat, living outside the U.S. as a Black American, and relocating her family to experience new cultures.
