Episode Details

In this episode, I sit down with Matthew (@ThyLordMatthew), British expat living in Argentina, to dive deep into the real side of moving abroad. We talk why most expats get stuck in Buenos Aires when the real magic happens in smaller towns with better nature, traditional culture, and friendlier people.

Matthew shares practical advice on:

• Choosing the right spot based on your personality (not what everyone else recommends)
• Building new social circles as an expat
• The mindset shifts that create abundance through small, consistent wins
• The honest truth that “paradise” doesn’t exist — it’s about finding the place that fits you

Whether you’re thinking about moving to LATAM, already abroad and feeling stuck, or just curious about a more grounded expat lifestyle, this conversation is full of actionable insights and real-talk wisdom.

One of my favorite quotes from Matthew:
“There is no such thing as paradise. One man’s paradise is another man’s dump. The more granular and specific you are about your likes and dislikes, the quicker you find a place that resonates with you.”

Tune in if you want the unfiltered guide to living your best life abroad.
