Moving and living in a different place from the one you grew up with can be hard and you can feel very alone away from family and friends. Or if you are contemplating relocating or have moved ages ago but still have boxes left unpacked, you might not know where to even begin looking for the right help from someone who has been in your footsteps.

Hearing stories and advice from those who have been there, done that and lost the T-shirt somewhere on the last move, is a great way to help you through the challenges moving home can bring. In the past this would have been through meeting people at an expat networking event, but today you can get expert advice before you pack your first box, from one of the many podcasts that are available. But with so many to choose from how do you find the ones that you can really connect with?
