Season 3, Episode 2. "Expat" is short for expatriation, or living in a country other than one's native country, and "repat" is short for repatriation, or living back in one's native country after living abroad. Put them together, and you get Expat Repat, the name of Lindsey McLean's podcast.
Lindsey herself is a repat, living back in the USA after years of life abroad in Switzerland. In the years since she's moved back, she's struggled but succeeded at building a life that she's happy with. But it wasn't easy, and that was surprising to Lindsey, who grew up as a Third Culture Kid, meaning she also lived abroad as a child. She's channeled her complicated feelings about life as a repat in Washington State into her podcast, where she interviews other former expats about their lives back in their home country.
In this episode of The Expat Cast, we dive deeper into Lindsey's story - how she moved abroad, why she loved the life she built in Zurich, Switzerland, and what made her decide to move back to the US and leave her fairy tale Swiss live behind. Lindsey really lets us in to the thought processes she had back then, the perspective she's gained since then, and the delicate balance of having regrets yet finding peace with her choices.
