The latest insights on repatriation.
These podcasts are so interesting and resonating for anyone who has gone through repatriation transition. Kudos to @Doreen Cumberford. She is the go-to gal on current repatriation trends.

Each episode is rich with positive, encouring messages and insightfull knowledge. So many experts interviewed and always a welcoming atmosphere. Thank you so very much!
Spirit of Adventure in a Podcast
I think this podcast is an allrounder in the field of global mobility and intercultural communication, joining the dots of global living and helping those living between cultures feel at home in these in-between spaces. I love the way Doreen reflects on life being portable and how she encourages us to live it to the full even if these transitions can be really hard.
Experience and Connection shines through
I love listening to Doreen and her guests. She knows how to connect and get the conversation going and her extensive experience as a global nomad shines through. For anyone considering a global nomad lifestyle or wanting to listen and relate to different expat experiences, Nomadic Diaries is a great podcast to listen to.
Great Resource for Those Thinking of Relocating!
I so enjoyed being part of Nomadic Diaries! Doreen is a terrific interviewer, eliciting personal and detailed information about the experience of living in a new country. What a great resource!
Enlightening, Educational, and Entertaining - ¡Bien hecho!
I stumbled across Nomadic Diaries and fell in love with it. Doreen is an amazing podcast host who provides invaluable insights into the world of living abroad, expatriation, repatriation, nomadic lifestyle, and other scenarios of interacting with and adapting to foreign cultures. I am a language teacher and intercultural communication coach myself, yet I find every episode highly fascinating, and there is always something I learn every time I listen. I also had the honor and pleasure of being interviewed by Doreen several times. Since then, I haven't missed an episode. They are so pleasant to listen to! Not only are they enlightening, educational, and entertaining, but so carefully curated. Listeners feel taken on a wonderful journey as they are acquiring valuable insights. Doreen is such a wonderful podcast host sharing her own knowledge and experience while featuring another interculturalist. ¡Bien hecho!
An intelligent and easy listen!
Love the host with her insightful questions and commentary...and the guests? Delightful! I learn something every single time...and feel like I'm sitting there right with them-an easy show to love!
Informative
I've listened to-- and learned from a couple of episodes. Doreen asks questions of her guests that are informed by her own extensive travels and her guests end up providing useful information and insights into the "nomadic" travel experience. I particularly enjoyed the interview with Ms. Israel about walking the Camino.
Great listening
It’s always such a pleasure listening to the conversations between Doreen and her guests. Even while traveling it’s the best time to spend and listen. Very insightful and interesting and different topics based on the nomadic lifestyle.

Insights that are Not Just Useful to Ex Pats
These podcasts run the gamut from where to start in considering a move to how to deal upon reentering one's home country, but with lots of other life-long learning insights in between. Doreen and Sharon have delved into a vast store of knowledge through all of the experienced and informative people they have selected to interview about nomadic travelling/moving to different cultures.
Much of the advice/information/stories provided in these interviews is not only useful to ex-pats, but is helpful to anyone who deals with people from other cultures, whether through casual travel or just in daily living if you should happen to live in a city or area that includes residents from diverse cultures. Lisa Liang's podcast about Telling Your Story and Chris Cartwright's about Building Cultural Connections are two examples of this, and I felt I gained some valuable tools from these talks that I had not expected.

Doreen was exceptionally kind and compassionately inquisitive. A superb host and interview who really knew how to elicit some depth!

Review of Interview with Louise Wiles
Fred York
I tremendously enjoyed the interview with Louise Wiles and her experiences of travel to multiple cultures. Her insights about adapting to another culture by modifying and expanding one's expectations is helpful. Her reassurances about understanding the culture of another country was insightful and helpful as one keeps thinking "How am I going to make this work?". She helped me to accept the periodic bewilderment I experience with living in new, unfamiliar surroundings. The learning experience is so challenging as well as it is an opportunity to grow and capture a new lifestyle in circumstances that are at first confusing. I learned to remember when transitioning to another culture that the event impacts not just yourself but also your life partner. I appreciate the learning opportunities available on Nomadic Dairies and look forward to future broadcasts. Fred
Insightful, interesting & Practical
The Nomadic Diaries Podcast is a treasure trove of insightful global travelers who share their rich experiences and valuable advice, tips and lessons learned. Each interview is unique and interesting.
You read my mind.
Whenever I listen to your podcasts, I feel as though I'm part of the conversation. You ask the questions I'm thinking, almost as though you've read my mind. And the exchanges are so effortless and relaxed that it feels like I'm chatting over a cuppa with dear friends. Thanks for all your efforts and for coming up with topics and discussions to which I can relate! Keep up the good work.
Very Interesting
I've listened/watched 4 or 5 of the podcasts, and invariably the guests are very interesting and from an extremely varied backgrounds. The series have held my interest much longer than most podcasts, and I'll continue tuning in.
Nomadic Diairies opens new worlds
Having lived most of my life in one country, it’s fascinating to learn about people who have spent their lives living in many different cultures around the world. Nomadic Diaries introduces you to a whole new world. I recommend it!
Something lovely to listen to.
I'm so glad to have discovered Nomadic Diaries! I don't have a lot of time to stop and listen but when I'm on a flight or a long distance bus ride I make a point to catch up on all the episodes. What I particularly enjoy about the podcasts is the genuine sharing of the guests' interesting lives. They generously discuss personal aspects of their (mostly) expat lives which provides an opportunity to view things from another's perspective. I find the podcasts gentle, relaxing and informative and I especially love the beautiful soothing voices of Sharon and Doreen. Well done to you both for producing such great content, keep it up1
Practical and Thoughtful Considerations
The hosts interview true experts that have a wide perspective on expat nomadic travel of all types, work, kids, retirement, etc. Their information and quests provide practical and thoughtful considerations for those considering, just starting or continuing nomadic expat travel. The podcast covers many situations and considers how the listener may improve or exceed their travel goals and expectations.

Wisdom and courage
I am loving listening to the wise words of so many global souls. Condensed goodness for my reluctantly repatriated soul. I am nodding and smiling as so many diverse folks share deeply their learning and growing on the move.
