Second Act Expat
Second Act Expat host Stacy Bowie gives her listeners an authentic and often humorous look into what it's like living abroad. From her time teaching English in South Korea to scouting out cities in Portugal to sharing her experience living in Spain, Stacy hopes to inspire women, especially black women and women of color who want to take the leap (or baby steps) into solo travel. Stacy tells it like it is and rest assured, wherever she goes, she’ll have a story to tell.
