"Life Away," is a podcast where I explore the lives of people who have chosen to make their living far from home.

Join me as I speak to people who have taken on unique and often challenging careers that require them to leave behind the comforts of home and immerse themselves in new cultures, languages, and ways of life. 

From expatriates to digital nomads, from adventurers to humanitarian workers, my guests will share their stories of lives on the road.

Flea convinced me to move to Los Angeles - I did - lived in New York City, Bangkok, Ho Chi Minh City, Bali, Sydney and been a million other places in between
