In this episode, Clare is joined by Cristina Vadastreanu, a wife, a mother and an entrepreneur, who is currently living in Sardinia. Before this, she lived in Romania and Gran Canaria, Spain. For Cristina and her family, the phenomenon of moving countries has become a very welcome way of life. To the point where they are planning to move again.
To enable them to do this, Cristina became an entrepreneur, and together, she, her husband and children changed their family dynamic.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
- By being open and ready to change you can experience it all, family life, careers, travel, and different ways of living.
- Confronting the unknown pushes you to change in ways you would never otherwise do.
- When you first move you explore, which creates an almost childlike and joyful energy in you.
- There is something to be said for leaving while life is good before things go wrong. You have more positive energy to settle again in a new place.
- What you read online will help you to make an informed choice, but never rely 100% on that information. Be ready for things to be different.
- If you have children, try to time things right for them starting school.
- The world is changing fast, so we all need to learn to be flexible and adapt. Moving countries builds those skills quickly.
- You have to consult all members of the family when changing countries.
- Be open and ready to receive what life has to offer and try new things.
