A Life in Dublin

Bev from South Africa - moving abroad with no money and how I survived

Ep. 49

In this episode of the podcast we get to chat to Bev from South Africa. We recorded this episode a few months ago and because of the madness of setting up our live shows and various other worldly chores, we’re only getting to sharing it with you now but I am so pleased that it’s finally out in the world as it’s a great conversation.


Bev has been in Ireland for quite a while and lived in the UK before moving here. We hear of her fascinating story of truly living on a shoestring budget when she first moved abroad and what that experience taught her. 


I like her story a lot because she has passed through the initial difficulties of the expat, immigrant whatever you want to call it, life and now finds herself settled in Ireland and calls it home. 


Thank you so much for listening guys. Please reach out to us and get in touch if you have any comments about the podcast or you just want to say hello.
