VIDEO
I've seen comments from people experiencing pushback when they talk about wanting to try slow travel or move to a new country and become an expat. I've collected a few of the typical objections to the expat or slow travel lifestyle, and am here to provide you with some examples of potential responses to better explain yourself to family and friends who are hoping to destroy your dreams. This one is a little edgy, and attempted comedy. You may not like it if you’re our traditional audience.
