“CHOOSE WISELY” — 10 THINGS TO CONSIDER BEFORE LEAVING THE WEST FOR A NEW LIFE ABROAD

So, you’ve had it with the 9–5 grind, the taxes, the snow, and the polite misery of Western living — and you’ve decided to relocate. Brilliant. Just one tiny thing: choose wisely. In this episode, I dive (gracefully, I hope) into what it really means to trade “first world fatigue” for freedom abroad. You’ll laugh, you’ll flinch, and you might quietly Google “cost of living in Kenya.” We’re talking: *The illusion of “cheap” living (spoiler: your imported hummus disagrees) *Power cuts that build character — and patience *Healthcare that might come with herbal tea and optimism *Bureaucracy that requires four signatures and divine intervention *Cultural quirks that could confuse even the Queen *And why “paradise” is only peaceful if you stop trying to live like you’re still in Toronto It’s not just a travel guide — it’s a gentle roast of Western habits we all carry, tucked between our passports and our protein bars. If you’re planning to relocate for peace, purpose, or just cheaper therapy, this video is your public-service announcement: paradise has fine print.
